So sorry to our Australia’s Lebanese communities who must think all we care about is the price of fuel. 😔
If you intend to vote Scottish Green this May, please be aware of potential voter confusion on the peach coloured regional list ballot paper.
Take care to mark your X next to the actual Scottish Greens and not another party which has 'GREEN' dominating their ballot insignia.
A bumper year so far for data centre commitments = a bumper year for fossil gas, from the same hyperscalers supposedly committed to rapid decarbonisation.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view.
Workers I spoke to are pissed.
This is a very interesting comparison for Australia 🇦🇺, which uses real-time petrol prices and Amber’s electricity prices, and makes the most of EV smart charging, to compare the running costs of popular combustion-engine cars with those of electric models

TONIGHT IN TEL AVIV: Ben Gvir’s police violently broke up an anti-war demonstration, arresting Standing Together co-director Alon-Lee Green & activist Nadav Oren.
No matter how much they try to silence us, we refuse to stop protesting against Netanyahu’s cynical forever war!

"Even an elaborate cheating scheme won’t be enough to deliver Orbán victory if the polls are correct." This is a big deal:
Israel just passed a law mandating death by hanging for Palestinians in rigged military trials voting 62-48 in the Knesset. Netanyahu turned up in person to vote yes. Ben-Gvir wore a metal noose pin on his lapel while the chamber erupted in cheers at the prospect of killing more Palestinians.
Such a critical case to ensure scope 3 emissions are considered in these decisions. Thanks for all your efforts - and so glad the science has reached a point where we can demonstrate the specific impacts of fossil fuel projects to local areas
This is one of the most important issues with the global food system, yet it is often ignored.
Put simply, we don't actually grow much *food* in our farms around the world. Instead, we grow grossly inefficient animal feed and biofuels.

Our comrades in France have a proposal and plan for nationalizing Total, ending its expansionary fossil fuel agenda, and enacting a just transition.
Instead the U.S. is paying this private corporation $1 billion to stop developing offshore wind and keep drilling for more oil and gas. Exactly wrong.
“Our main challenge now is securing enough EV supply to meet the growing waiting list.” No surprise? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Give how intermittent and unreliable oil and gas is proving to be once again, perhaps we should be looking to alternatives...
New report from @cleancreatives.bsky.social finds fossil fuels companies aren't bothering with ads pretending they're transitioning to clean energy anymore, they've shifting to selling us on the idea that fossil fuels are essential and permanent features of life: heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Fossil fuel price shocks due to the Strait of Hormuz conflict show the risk of oil import dependency 🛢️
Replacing imported fossil fuels in transport with EVs can cut fossil imports by a THIRD, reducing exposure to volatile oil markets.

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
so it’s ok to greenwash so long as a ‘reasonable investor’ would know it‘s greenwashing? Got it!
Trumps tax breaks last year allowed Amazon to reduce their tax bill by 87%, despite profits soaring by 45% to nearly $90 billion.
"As a Jew, I will proudly stand to be arrested, ostensibly for antisemitism. I did not spend my 20s active against a regime using violence to subordinate rights and silence its critics only to spend my twilight years watching Australian governments do the same." - Stephen Heydt, SMH today
