"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.

🌬️ Scotland’s first subsidy-free community wind farm is live!

The 2.5MW wind turbine is fully community-owned and runs without government subsidies, generating enough clean energy for 2,000+ homes and cutting 3,000+ tonnes of CO₂ annually.

The US is merely the latest to join the global rush to hoard critical minerals JD Vance is seeking to create a ‘trading bloc’ as shortages and climate crises mean a kaleidoscope of rare earths are increasingly jealously guarded

"This means recalibrating how we think about our economy: the new economic fundamentals today are resource constraints and climate and nature crises." Those of us with the privilege of choice must choose to consume less. That means flying less. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

The Herald article: Greens urge government to end Russian-linked gas contract

🚨The Scottish Government is sending taxpayers' money to a Russia-linked gas company!

Not a single penny of Scottish money should be sent to the Russian war machine. Greens are demanding the SNP cut ties with these war-profiteers immediately.

This is a map of total winter snowfall, so far. It’s crazy that Augusta GA and Myrtle Beach South Carolina have had more snow than Salt Lake City! Legend on bottom.

Update: According to Prism via @climatologist49.bsky.social the US had its 2nd warmest meteorological winter (Dec-Feb)! Folks in the East much really be shocked at this. But the entire West has been baking!

The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage.

So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.

When the climate shifts, it squeezes the safe climatic space of grasslands, says lead author Chaohui Li in @cnn.com interview. The researchers find that world's grasslands could shrink by half as climate change becomes more intense, threatening global food systems.

…overpowering the cold in the East - which was really only modestly cold compared to the period of record. The 3 month max anomaly was +10°F in the High Plains and the min anomaly was -6F in the Northeast.

Meteorological winter is done. It was top 5. Maybe top 3 warmest when the numbers are finalized. You wouldn’t know it or even believe it if you live in the East.
We heard lots about the cold and snow in the East, but the West BAKED as the warmest winter on record… 1/

How do the royals make money? Eight unanswered questions The taxpayer-funded sovereign grant goes towards the royal family’s finances each year — but how does Andrew benefit?

Good question: Why is there so little transparency over royal finances?

"The Palace line is that these royal financial affairs are “private”, although critics of this secrecy argue that this wealth stems from the public roles they were born into." (£)
