I often think of the Irish word for the environment – comhshaol, meaning "shared life," which I think captures the interconnectedness at the heart of environmental sustainability.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone. We will not let hate or those who spread it win. We stand with you.

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

This week, consultants at Bain & Co. estimated the wave of AI infrastructure spending will require $2 trillion in annual AI revenue by 2030. By comparison, that is more than the combined 2024 revenue of Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia, and more than five times the size of the entire global subscription software market. Morgan Stanley estimates that last year there was around $45 billion of revenue for AI products. The sector makes money from a combination of subscription fees for chatbots such as ChatGPT and money paid to use these companies’ data centers. How the tech sector will cover the gap is “the trillion dollar question,” said Mark Moerdler, an analyst at Bernstein.

*The AI boom = one of the costliest building sprees in world history

* Past 3 years' commitments are greater than the cost of building the U.S. interstate highway system

* Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24

This letter appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 20 September 2025. John Cole, Chair of Bradford for Europe, references criticism of the Conservatives Party and Brexit by Lord Chris Patten.

#Tory grandee Lord Patten: “No hope for #Conservatives until face up to #BrexitShambles.”

#BrexitReality left Britain with low growth, poor productivity & “a difficult position.” #RejoinEU

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4

Researchers make shocking discovery after examining vineyard grown under solar panels Hopefully, this experiment encourages more farmers to lean into agrivoltaics.

More wine, and more solar power. Win, win, or is that chin, chin? www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Brilliant take-down of Farage that is so sorely missing from the British media and the Labour Party. Instantly it's clear to see how the British media panders to Farage and sees him as entertaining and good copy rather than a toxic, fascist pile of shit

This isn’t just about beef.
It’s about democracy, standards & peace.

The Prosperity Deal threatens farmers, the TCA, and the Good Friday Agreement.

Here's Dominic Cummings admitting that it was illicit data mining and an online propaganda blitz after Jo Cox's muder (when both sides had agreed to stop campaigning) that brought about the Leave referendum win. We now know it was financed illegally too.

Plate with salmon and asparagus

Analysis by @wclnews.bsky.social & @theriverstrust.bsky.social levels of PFOS in freshwater fish in England are so high, if someone eats 1 portion each month, this would exceed the "safe" threshold for people to eat over a year. PFOS is classed by WHO as "possibly carcinogenic".

This can’t be for real? No one has ever experienced this in London.

It's a hopeful, accurate story of the tremendous changes we are making to our energy system.

"This case study indicates that beyond a certain global temperature, vegetation die-back will occur, and can result in further warming through removal of vegetation carbon sinks...[which] have the potential to maintain adverse climate states for millions of years." 🌏

Predictions of £40bn hit to public finances from Brexit ‘correct’ Office for Budget Responsibility’s forecast of a 4 per cent productivity loss from leaving the EU has been largely borne out, says top economist

🚨🚨 #brexit anniversary: Office of Budget Responsibility predictions of £ 40 bn hit to public finances has proven correct according to research by top economist @johnspringford.bsky.social . www.thetimes.com/article/346e...

🚨 “Not For EU” Label. Check your asparagus.

🇲🇽 Mexican asparagus in @sainsburys may be grown with pesticides banned in the EU, including carbofuran and paraquat.

🥵 No EU label = No EU safety standards.

🇬🇧 Post-Brexit, UK rules are weaker.

🧪 Lower testing. Less traceability. More risk.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Managing Ecosystems Under Climate Threat Requires New Thinking Park and forest managers can’t rely on the past any longer to understand future risks. Climate change is changing the game.

Most climate stories are (rightly) about humans screwing up nature. But this lead pic - forest service wrapping insulation around a giant sequoia ahead of the 2021 fire - gives me hope for a future where humans and nature protect each other...
