Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

Americans are dying from extreme heat

Examination of 100s of autopsy reports reveals tragic stories

They show lives cut short in ordinary, preventable ways

Nobel Peace Prize winner Mara Corina Machado supports Israel’s war and Benjamin Netanyahu? Here are the facts Maria Corina Machado had strong political ties with Netanyahu’s Likud party and has said on Twitter that β€œVenezuela’s struggle is Israel’s struggle” when it comes to the matter of terrorism

I am not making this up. I have checked it out from multiple sources. She seems quite keen on Islamophobic, European fascism too.

Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!
Join the Green Party today.

Reef concerns after dredgers filmed in protected seas Scottish government says it's investigating but concerned locals fear enormous damage has been caused

Awful! Vessels were filmed allegedly scallop dredging in a Scottish marine protected area - home to millions of flame shells & the largest known habitat of the species

This destructive fishing is supposed to be banned here?! 😑

Our ocean sanctuaries deserve better.

"A political failure": Half of UK's critical fish stocks face depletion - Oceanographic Oceana UK has accused UK government of abject failure when it comes to sustainably managing critical fish stocks, now facing collapse

β€œOverfishing is not an unavoidable tragedy – it is a political choice. Ministers ignore the science [...] & our seas are paying the price. Five years after becoming an independent coastal state, the UK seems to have accepted a state of relentless decline.”

Perhaps plans for the exploitation of the enormous offshore oil reserves?

The Sea Lion oil field holds at least 800m barrels of oil, 2-3 times bigger than Rosebank.

UK govt has an interest as does the Israeli company Navitas.

This comes as absolutely no surprise. Except in a few specific hard to abate processes, CCS is a scam, especially LNG/CCS.

What is remarkable is how readily labour and tories alike fell it. Amazing what a few bungs can do.

βž•πŸš—πŸ­ new calculations show that if all new gas plants with CCS currently proposed by industry were to go ahead - even at a 90% capture rate - they could emit 2.4-5 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually, the same as adding 1.3-2.6 million petrol cars per year in the UK.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

β€œI do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.
