The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For β€˜doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This week's column is about something that's arguably more important than anything in the news, crucial as some of the other issues are.

Reclaim the moral compass: a call for courageous leaders - Greenpeace International It will take all of us to break through the fear and noise and show our leaders a better path.

I just signed an open letter joining the urgent call for peace, justice and a healthy future. We need to turn the volume up on a better moral compass set of morals which leaders everywhere must be judged by. Will you also add your voice to this important call? act.gp/4bGVSAm

Imprisoned hunger striker linked to Palestine Action tells friend: β€˜I’m dying’ Francesca Nadin visited Heba Muraisi, 31, in a Wakefield prison at the weekend and says β€˜her body is shutting down’

The government sits and watches as Heba dies. It's heartbreaking, horrible, almost impossible to compute. Didn't people vote in the hope (however forlorn) of ending the Tories' psychopathic mode of government? Yet on it goes, under Keir Starmer. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Very sorry that you’ve had to take this action. I loved TIMC and will miss you. The programme and the channel will be less without you. We are increasingly seeing what’s happening across the channel and can understand your action completely. Best wishes.

Utterly vile and shocking. I hope there will be consequences and action that can be taken. Sending support and best wishes.

Rapid Disaster Response Without All the Carbon β€” Footprint Project We deploy mobile solar generators and related off-grid equipment to power rapid disaster response for communities in need.

I just donated to the Footprint Project, sending solar/battery/LED setups to Jamaica. Usually in the wake of a disaster you get noisy, polluting diesel generators that also need fuel. These microgrid setups will be useful and provide clean energy for years. www.footprintproject.org/rapid-disast...

🚨 The news-media is utterly failing to cover these momentous scientific findings.

The public is not being informed of the danger posed.

The UK chief scientist Dame Angela McLean just highlighted this as an issue of national security - why are no news outlets covering it ?!? 🀯

Whatever Starmer does, he’s already cast disabled people as the reason why they β€œcan’t balance the books”.

The Labour Government has already scapegoated disabled people as the reason why your life sucks.

It’s unforgivable.
