Absolutely beautiful, it's amazing what our natural environment has to offer. It shows us, it needs to be protected now more than ever.

#IndigenousPeoples protect 80% of the world’s #biodiversity, yet make up less than 5% of the world's population.

When their rights are respected, forests stay standing, carbon stays stored, and #ClimateAction moves forward.

Support Indigenous rights = protect nature = fight climate change 🌍✊

Well done Canberra. ✊️

Disgusting, when communities go through extreme events, it's the speed of deploying funds and resources that is required more than ever. The delays cause more mental anguish and distrust.

DHS is delaying millions in already approved North Carolina recovery funds, documents show Communities across the region still need to be reimbursed for about a hundred projects including debris removal, waste water treatment repairs, roads and bridges, damaged buildings and parks, as well ...

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

There's a God-shaped hole in the BBC's science documentaries Two new films from the BBC and Humanists UK, featuring Chris Packham and Dr Alice Roberts, seek to explain the origin of our planet from a scientific, secular point of view. But in ignoring the divine, they raise more spiritual questions than they answer, says George Pitcher

Premier Christianity finds 'god-shaped hole' in humanist video about the scientific origins of the universe.

Yes. Funny that!

Slovenia passes assisted dying law Slovenia approved a law to allow assisted dying on Friday, joining an increasing number of countries giving terminally-ill adults the right to end their lives if they face unbearable suffering with no expectation of improvement.

Slovenia has become the latest country to take a vital step toward legalising compassionate assisted dying for terminally ill adults. Meanwhile here in the UK, we're preparing to support @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social's #AssistedDyingBill through the House of Lords.

Millions in research and development, to create an advanced chatbot that spews hatred. The money could have been better spent on almost anything else.

Advances in technology should not come at the cost of human lives and communities. The language used by Grok is hurtful, insensitive, and offensive, and powering it with gas turbines without permits is downright disgusting.

35 gas turbines, no permits: Elon Musk’s dirty xAI secret - Climate and Capital Media In Memphis, AI’s environmental impact is invisible, until you turn on the camera

#USDemocracy #ai #grok #chatbot #environment #health
AI skyrockets pollution. For instance, Elon Musk's illegally-constructed xAI data center (that powers X's Grok chatbot) sends toxic emissions into Boxtown, a Black neighborhood in Memphis. The facility's emissions can cause lung damage and cancer.

🚨BREAKING: Yorkshire has declared HOSEPIPE BAN - as it recorded the hottest June on record.

£1,000 fines will be issued for using a hose - meanwhile, fossil fuel companies make BILLIONS polluting the planet and DRYING UP our water supplies.

Why aren't oil companies PAYING for this crisis?

Public dollars should always serve the public good. We’re proud to have taken a stand on behalf of our members and are encouraged that the court held the line on this unconstitutional appropriation of funds.

Legal recognition of humanist marriages We have long campaigned for reform of marriage laws – in order to gain legal recognition for both humanist and same-sex marriage ceremonies. Humanist marriages are now legally recognised in Scotland, ...

In Scotland, more couples choose humanist marriages than all forms of religious weddings combined. They're also legal in Northern Ireland and both Channel Islands.

In England and Wales, humanist marriages are not legally recognised, requiring a separate legal ceremony. humanists.uk/campaigns/hu...
