2/2 Now tell me how these media monopolies are 'freedom' of the press. How is it 'freedom of speech' when the overwhelmingly powerful vehicles of 'free' speech are bought and owned only by the super-rich for speech to be filtered and manipulated by them to serve their own interests against ours?

Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

(2/2) … #livestock (esp. #cattle) are a key source of #methane, a potent greenhouse gas, that warms the planet 80x faster than CO2. But feeding billions of farm #animals also takes up lots of space, making meat #consumption a key driver of #deforestation globally: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why don't other city leaders see this and think, yep I'm going to do that?

Loads of research shows the economic benefits of taking car space away and giving it to people.

I wish Sheffield leaders would talk to people like @brenttoderian.bsky.social about how to do it.

Why so terrified?

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

Why the hell is Keir Starmer not attacking Reform by pointing out what a disaster their brexit has been, the fact they would destroy the NHS and make us all pay for health treatment, leaving the ECJ, etc, etc.

Attack their policies!

Wildlife photographer Dylan Coundley-Hughes captured breathtaking drone footage of a fin whale, the world’s second-largest animal, surfacing off the coast of Cornwall. Spotted in Falmouth Bay, the whale appeared alongside dolphins, tuna, and seabirds.

Graphic with the headline “London is the greatest city in the world” set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline. The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the world’s best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again.

Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

Double harvest: Vertical solar panels and crops thrive side by side Imagine a field where solar panels and crops coexist—with no trade-off. It sounds like science fiction, but that's precisely what researchers from Aarhus University have now documented in a full-scale...

Vertical rows are the agrivoltaic winner!

“The vertical panels produce slightly less electricity—but with higher value, as generation peaks coincide with morning and late afternoon demand…The crops don't seem to mind the presence of solar panels and they like the wind protection they provide.”
