Fires Drove Record-breaking Tropical Forest Loss in 2024 | World Resources Institute Research The Forest Pulse draws on the most recent data and analysis to reveal the latest trends in global forest loss and deforestation. This page is updated annually using annual tree cover loss data. Update...

While deforestation for agriculture is usually the leading cause of forest loss in the tropics, last year it was fires. Drought in the Amazon and Pantanal biomes led to devastating losses. New numbers from @worldresources.bsky.social & UMD gfr.wri.org/latest-analy...

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.

🇹🇷📢 İstanbul today.
This is what hope looks like.

The current historical conjuncture may have emboldened authoritarian leaders worldwide, but it is also one of massive social mobilizations *for* democracy, in Turkey, Serbia, Georgia, Israel, in US townhalls...

The authoritarian wave can be stopped.

NEW: Today in Instanbul, Turkey.

A people fighting for democracy & against authoritarianism. This is how you do it!

Chairman of Republican People’s Party, Özgür Özel:

“Today, 2.2 million of our citizens overflowed Maltepe Square. This is just the beginning. This nation will not remain silent.” 🇹🇷

Speaking as someone with certain experience in the field, I would say that criminals with a track record of (a) failing at everything they’ve ever tried and (b) getting caught, would not be my first choice to lead a nation state.

Tweet from Sharif Kouddous: "The health ministry has released a 1,516–page document listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians confirmed killed in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. There are a total of 474 pages listing 15,600+ children’s names. The first 27 pages the age is listed as 0 — children under 1 year old"

27 pages. Of babies. Whose entire understanding of what Earth sounded like was bombs dropping & people screaming at the sky

Supertrawlers spent 7,380 hours fishing in UK Marine Protected Areas Greenpeace said trawlers have damaged marine habitats and fish populations, despite the UK government having the powers to stop them since Brexit

6 supertrawlers collectively spent nearly 37,000 hours (or 4.2 years) fishing in 44 of UK’s offshore Marine Protected Areas

It's hard to comprehend the scale at which supertrawlers are murdering life in the oceans.

YouTube video by Garys Economics Why Labour and Trump will both fail

If you haven’t had the chance to watch Garys Economics, I really recommend it. He’s from the UK but relevant to everyone. This is his latest show on YouTube. youtu.be/XCnImxVWbvc?...

The UK has one of the highest proportions of Ultra-Processed Food of western nations.

It's costing the state a staggering £268bn a year ✚ wrecking nature

Why does Gov let companies aggressively market UPF leaving the state to pick up the tab?

2️⃣ UK's once-leading but now outdated climate targets ignore the emissions we cause beyond our borders.

Around 2/3rds of the greenhouse gas impact of these new carbon-capture plants happens upstream along the supply chain—emissions which can't be captured.

But Gov ignores them.

Raw sewage poured into Windermere for 6,000 hours last year United Utilities’ treatment works and pumping stations released untreated sewage for 6,327 hours in the catchment of England’s largest lake, figures show

Lake Windermere turned into sewage treatment plant without the treatment. United Utilities water company pumped raw sewage into it for the equivalent of 17 hours a day for a year. That’s 6327 hours out of 8760 altogether or 72% of the available time bit.ly/4kkUPYT

We just finished these 4 global documentary climate repair films, which put us in a scary financial hole. But literally everything we know & love is at stake, so we did it anyway.

Good illustration of the alternative options available to the government when considering how to approach decarbonisation of surface transport.

Reform UK’s Richard Tice calls for ‘privatised look-a-like coppers’ to ‘top up’ police “I can’t think of anything more horrifying than privatising the criminal justice system for profit under this shower.”

“I can’t think of anything more horrifying than privatising the criminal justice system for profit under this shower.”

Heartbreaking. Still can't believe this practice isn't severely clamped down on.

Jemima Hartshorn, founder of Mums for Lungs, stands in front of the Royal Courts of Justice Holding a placard that says “we deserve to know what we’re breathing”.

Those 7.5m diesel Euro 5/6s make up nearly a quarter of cars on UK roads. Yet they’re responsible for almost 30% of ALL NOx emissions from road transport, incl that from vans & HGVs.

We need car manufacturers to pay for the excess emissions we’re still breathing. #ExposeDieselCheats #AirPollution
