The EU's new climate targets are not as ambitious as hoped, but also...

I think Ekitike could as well if he was being asked.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

Labour is under pressure not only from Reform but from the green party

Glad to hear Keir Starmer is finally making the right decision to attend climate talks.

Now let's talk about taxing wealth.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Has Accepted £2.3 Million from Fossil Fuel Interests, Climate Deniers, and Polluters Since 2019 Election Reform UK has received more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers since December 2019, amounting to 92 percent of the party’s donations...

Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Outstanding performance from Chiesa tonight and agree Slot will have noticed him after this. Tonight’s game was about giving players an opportunity to prove themselves.
Normally we give someone a tier 1 song after they have performed heroics, like Bobby’s song.
Chiesa grew into his song tonight.

That's 5 consecutive wins for Liverpool where the winner came in the 83rd min or later.

That's as many 83+ winners as #LFC had in the whole of last season.

A player making a defensive mistake or lapse in judgement after being penned in for almost the entire match is not luck.

Throwing on more attackers and ramping up the pressure, resulting in a player panicking is not luck.

Burnley were 'lucky' to survive as long as they did.

I started school in Newcastle in Year 5 without knowing a word of English. I was nine years old and had arrived as a refugee from Bosnia just a couple of months earlier.
I was one of those strangers our politicians often speak about.
I missed my grandparents and friends. I was having awful nightmares, and I would wake up screaming every single night. I hated going to school. I would sit in my chair, look out of the window, and spend my day daydreaming about ways to run back to Bosnia. I didn't want to be here.
After a couple of weeks at school, my teacher, Miss Webster, and my classmates did something special to help me settle, something that made me feel less of a stranger. That was the first day I went home with a smile on my face.
I have shared this story before, but as tomorrow is start of the new school year, I thought I would share it again.

Miss Webster was amazing, but I couldn't understand a word she was saying. She had this ritual where, at the end of each day, we would all sit on the floor around her, she would play the guitar, and we would all sing a song together.
I couldn't understand what they were singing, but I could see she would sing one part of the song, then she would say someone's name or point to them. The next part of the song would be sung with that person's name in it, and they would get to go home first.
My classmates loved this, but I hated it. It annoyed me because I couldn't understand what they were singing, but if I am honest, l hated it mainly because of how happy they all were. I definitely wasn't happy. I cried myself to sleep nearly every night.
I eventually started having separate English lessons, which I enjoyed more because it took me out of the classroom. It was always daunting coming to school because I felt everyone was looking at me or speaking about me. For months, my dad would stand with me outside the school gates in the morning until it was time to go in.

For months, my dad would stand with me outside the school gates in the morning until it was time to go in.

One day I came back into the classroom from my English lesson. We sat down, and everyone was extra-excited, looking at me more than usual for some reason. Of course, I thought it was because I was a refugee, because I couldn't speak English, or because they couldn't pronounce my name. I was bracing myself for another afternoon of my classmates encouraging me to sing. This was probably the closest I came to running out.
So we were all sitting on the floor around Miss Webster. She was holding her guitar, ready to sing. I remember the sun shining through the tall, narrow windows as I slowly drifted into a daydream of being back in Bosnia. She began playing the guitar, my classmates joined in, but this time, everything was different. I froze. I understood what they were signing. Not because I had miraculously learned English in one afternoon, but because they were singing in Bosnian for me. I looked around in shock, and they were all smiling at me, and for a moment I thought I was daydreaming.

While I was having separate English lessons, Miss Webster had taught our entire class to sing this song for me in Bosnian. They sang it terribly, but it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. I skipped home that day with a huge smile on my face. For the first time, I looked forward to going back to school the next day.
I have often imagined Miss Webster and my classmates rehearsing, struggling with the strange Bosnian words and laughing at themselves. For me, that effort was the ultimate recognition, an act of peace that felt like the opposite of everything I had known during the war. It was special.
I do not know if they realised it then, but that moment helped to give me back my dignity, my belonging, and, for the first time in a long time, I didn't feel like I was just a refugee or an outsider. I was home.

Covering just 0.4% of the Sahara Desert in solar panels would power the entire planet.

It would cost $4tn.

We currently spend $15tn a year on energy.

It would pay for itself in just over 3 months.

Tories pledge to get 'all our oil and gas out of the North Sea' The government warns Kemi Badenoch's plans would "only accelerate the worsening climate crisis".

Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives?
Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course

This Is for Liverpool | By Andrew Robertson We will stop at nothing to try to make our supporters’ dream come true. If that does happen, it won’t be a fairy tale. It’ll be because we deserve it.

Andy Robertson. Virgil's #2. The football romantic's #1. What a choice for a symbolic honor that means way more than it should.

I see people comparing the Coutinho & Suarez situations with Isak.

The thing you have to remember though is that in both cases, the players involved bought into the 'one more (1/2) season' pitch to them.

If we take Isak at his word though - and we have no reason not to - that took place already.

Mo Salah is 21 goals from Wayne Rooney and #3 on the all-time League charts.

At his current goalscoring rate, he will score his 21st goal of the season on 18 April. Against Everton. And will score the 22nd on 2 May. Against United.

If you think he hasn't run those numbers, you don't know Mo.

Nunez confirmed leaving, Elliott seeming likely. That's roughly another €110-€120mil in transfer income, meaning that's about €265mil worth of players sold this window.

Fingers crossed this allows us to get more than just Isak #YNWA #LFC
