Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

Sheep are disappearing from our hills and our dinner plates Have we have passed "peak sheep" in the UK?

Great!!

Sheep are a *top* cause of nature loss.

Why have we seen such repression of climate activists around the world?

Because activists were so successful in changing the narrative around fossil fuels

The big problem with the “serious people should be left to do serious politics” thing is that the serious people doing serious politics have repeatedly fucked up for the past 40 years

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The planning and infrastructure bill is a "full-spectrum assault on nature protection"

So where are the conservation charities? Where is the resistance? Where is our 'nation of nature lovers'?

The nature NGO’s @rspb.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk should be mobilising an army!

Instead they are cowering in trenches with their millions (pounds & members)

We need something new.

A radical, grassroots movement that actually fights for nature.

Breaking: Group of women place CEO of Anglian Water under Citizen’s Arrest for one hour outside Coulsdon South Station this morning with evidence the CEO may be committing crimes of public nuisance.

When British Transport Police finally turned up they escorted Thurston away, but did not arrest him.

Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth | George Monbiot The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Soaring classroom temperatures harm exam results, climate board warns Committee calls on the government to plan for rises in global warming that far exceed those in the Paris agreement

The UK should start planning for high levels of global warming — at least 2C above pre-industrial levels by 2050 and 4C by 2100.

"We believe that can’t be ruled out,” said Baroness Brown of @thecccuk.bsky.social, on the risk of 4C by the end of the century.
