It's astounding how much COβ we put into the atmosphere each year by burning fossil fuels.
For comparison, we all agree that plastic pollution is bad, but the mass of ALL THE PLASTIC humanity has ever produced is only 25% of the COβ we emitted into the atmosphere in 2025.
"The solution is going to have to come from everyone else, using every tool at our disposal to push back against an ecocidal agenda driven by plutocrats, polluters, petrostates, propagandists, and too often now, the press"

Al maanden biedt OekraΓ―ne een onmiddellijk staakt-het-vuren aan.
Poetin beantwoordt dit alleen met agressie en terreur. Nu weer een massale aanval (ca 500 drones en 40 raketten), o.a. op Kyiv.
Alleen met meer militaire kracht en meer druk is vrede tegenover Rusland mogelijk. πΊπ¦
Russia attacked #Ukraine with nearly 500 drones and over 40 missiles, including Kinzhal missiles, last night.
The attack lasted more than 12 hours.
The main targets were #Kyiv and Kyiv region, Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi region, Sumy region, and Odesa region.
Screenshot of an article which reads "Summer 2025 was hottest on record in UK, says Met Office Unprecedented average temperature made about 70 times more likely by human-induced climate change, says agency" alongside an aerial image of Broomhead reservoir
After a summer of record-breaking temps and four heatwaves, the Met Office confirms human activity made this 70x more likely.
Climate breakdown is happening before our eyes, and the UK govt is not acting fast enough. We need to cut emissions and invest in sustainableΒ practicesΒ now.

A youth mobility scheme would give young people back opportunities snatched from them by Brexit.

And it's a popular policy too. Our latest polling shows two thirds of the British public are in favour of a youth mobility scheme with the EU.

The IEA are just one of a network of fervently anti Net Zero , pro free market groups which lobby for the oil and gas industry in Westminster . In 2018 they admitted receiving funding from BP every year since 1967 .
I did pop by with a poster last week, but no one was in . . .
