Rebuilding the area of Los Angeles destroyed by global warming-induced wildfires is expected to cost a minimum of $250 BILLION and rising due to the need to remove vast amounts of toxic waste.

If you think 'net zero costs too much', I have some terrible news for you.

Good access to charge points is a key incentive for the switch to electric vehicles.

But just 15% of EV charge points in England are in rural areas - while 44% are in London and the South East.

Government must ensure fair charging access so rural communities aren't left behind.

This is how sinister Western reporters justify the mass slaughter of Lebanese civilians and airstrikes on apartment towers.

Here, they repeat claims made by childkillers about the illegal war in Iraq.

No evidence is given. The alleged target wasn't there. But mass slaughter is justified.

The major coal producing country that wants to leave its fossil fuels in the ground Other countries are watching to see if its plan to stop selling oil and coal is successful before making the leap themselves, analysts say.

Why is "leave it in the ground or we'll all die in runaway climate change" so hard for people to understand?
What is the point of making money from #FossilFuels now if the cost of burning them is going to be a livable planet?

Sadiq Khan just told me that he's not prepared to take action our planet needs "as long as he's Mayor."

If we miss our net zero targets, the politicians responsible will have already fled the scene.

We’re not on track, and Labour is in denial about the urgent action needed.

When will the Labour Party work out the only way they can win the next election, is to send Starmer and his cronies to the Hague. Muslim votes matter. Progressive votes matter. People matter.

The breadth of denialism of the genocide of Palestinians is still astounding to me bc of just how much dehumanization it requires.

Never in history have we seen an extermination of a nation play out in front our eyes so explicitly and never has there been this breadth and effort put into denial.

Like the rest of the Bluesky noobs, I'm loving my early days here. The one thing I'm missing is the on-the-ground, local reporters from Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon that I followed on X. Are they here yet? Is there a starter pack for those heroes? Thanks in advance!

Wife of billionaire industrialist who lives on a 1500-acre estate writes about her concern for small farmers inheritance tax bills. The Telegraph's brass necked shamelessness is a sight to behold.

I use Twitter primarily these days for news / commentary on Gaza - Bluesky doesn’t have it, especially when it’s kicking off Palestinians in Gaza. So, I’m gonna be where Palestinian journalists are.✨
