“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

So which path are we going to take? The one where we protect our planet? Or the one where we destroy it through greed and wars and climate change?

Top Scientist: We Can’t Adapt Our Way Out of This Climate Crisis. “If we continue with business-as-usual…, there is no adaptation that is possible.”

Question: As we hit the limits of adaptation, will large-scale geo engineering be the only tool left in the box?

Labour’s clean energy plan will not only cut emissions but lift hundreds of thousands out of fuel poverty | Ed Miliband The party’s agenda is about energy security, lower bills, economic growth and good jobs

Cue the usual naysayers claiming that Carbon Capture doesn't work.🙄
In fact, Carbon Capture *does work* & is in commercial use (eg Germany). It uses electricity - but *that can be from renewable sources too*.
Thousands of jobs are *already being filled*

Promoting green growth does not make you an ‘eco-nutter’. It’s the only way forward Heading off the environmental crisis and growing the economy are not at odds. They are two sides of a coin – as our politicians should realise

Will Hutton: "The American and British right are plain wrong. Growth, cheap energy and averting the civilisational threat of the climate crisis are all possible. Labour should recover its convictions and find the courage to act"

Doomsday Clock moved closer to midnight: What is it and how does it work? The Doomsday Clock is now at 89 seconds to midnight. Sky News looks at the meaning behind it, what it is and how it works.

So, now we’re at 89 seconds to midnight. I remember that optimistic time in the 90s when the Doomsday Clock was at 14 minutes to. But war, climate change, AI & disease have edged our species to the brink of disaster. This isn’t a gimmick; it’s real science & hard data.

Farage and Truss attend UK launch of US climate denial group British arm of Heartland, which has taken fossil and Republican funding, to be led by ex-Ukip head Lois Perry

Darn it, the #climatechange denial numpties are gaining ground here in the UK too. Question: Do they REALLY believe that all the science is wrong or is this just an expedient career/political move? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I accept the probability of many of your fears, but I have to believe that common sense will prevail if not in the USA, in other democracies. It may be hopeless optimism on my part. The key thing is that we must speak out and not accept your outcomes as inevitable. Thank you for continually doing so

Gisele Pelicot walks past hundreds of cheering women, some holding signs saying "Merci Gisele", outside the court where her husband and 50 other strangers were tried for raping her while she was drugged.

A headline in the UK Times newspaper, which reads: "The vegan staples that are worse for planet than meat or dairy"

🚨☣️!Climate Misinformation Breakdown: Dietary Edition! This headline in The Times *completely misrepresents* a new Oxford Uni study into plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, suggesting the *opposite* of what the study actually found.

Circular Khadi - Khadi London Circular Khadi Circular Khadi is a collaboration between Khadi London, Where Does It Come From?, Conserve India and Khamir Crafts. The pilot phase of the project completed at the end of September 2024...

Creating new fabrics from old is a key way to reduce the huge amounts of waste textiles. I’ve been working on a project to recycle cloth into new using heritage hand crafting known as khadi. This also supports rural livelihoods plus low carbon.
