Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution? | George Monbiot The US attack on Iran has made the need for renewable energy inarguable, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“Greens who were long dismissed as “idealistic” & “unrealistic” now look like hard-headed pragmatists & true patriots. They’re years ahead of their rivals in demanding a transition that makes sense on every level: environmental, economic & political” - great article from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👇

We've now raised £50,000.

Anything you can spare, will go towards challenging this Labour Government and taking the fight to Reform.

And most importantly - to creating the hopeful alternative.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Amnesty International say what is happening in Palestine is a genocide.

The UN Special Rapporteur say it's a genocide.

Countless genocide scholars say it's a genocide.

How are we still doing this? And why is the BBC doing this?

What a shock. A grifter with whose only intent is to line her own pockets and has zero concern for the actual state of our country, flees her sinking ship to shack up with more grifters and snake oil salesmen. How any of them are taken even remotely seriously is fucking beyond me. #votegreen
