The Guardian needs headline writers, can someone volunteer? Come on guys, you can’t meet this moment?
“Hungarians have ousted their wannabe dictator by voting overwhelmingly to reject his links to child rapists and the Israeli government” is far more accurate and compelling.
"Solar overtook wind and drew close to nuclear power.
Ten years ago, solar was only a tenth of nuclear generation."

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Why do they like biofuels? Because it keeps the "we must burn things" crew in business.
It's great for refineries which are owned by the oil industry.
They love their tax subsidized biofuels for burning.
In the era of EVs, it's one more way to keep the US in the past.

As Ed Miliband seeks to 'double down' on the UK energy transition to clean power, this is a reminder of why that matters to consumers:
The highest proportion of fossil fuels in the energy mix leads to the highest prices according to Fidelity international

You gotta give to the GOP.
They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.
China: peace now, open the Strait of Hormuz now!
USA: no thanks we enjoy war and we want to destroy the lives of everyone on the planet
We all know why the IDF is taking this seriously. It's because most Zionists in the world, are neither Israeli nor Jewish, but Christians in the US. This will not go down well with Israel's core support.

FINANCIAL TIMES Russia Interview. Russian economy is faltering despite oil windfall, Sweden warns
Mainstream media finally connecting the dots.
When Ukraine destroys Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure, it doesn’t matter that sanctions are lifted and the world is gagging for oil and gas.
Why does it take so long for people to connect these basic dots?
Laura doesn’t seem to realise that the word “pledge” is not simply there for a temporary brain fart during an election campaign.
A pledge is something you say to the electorate is a holy and immovable promise because the previous government was so terrible.
Keir Starmer lied. Pure and simple.
Finland shows how cheap it is to reduce homelessness. It’s cheaper to give homeless people free apartments than it is to leave them homeless on the street or to round them up and arrest them like many far right governments (and Labour) enjoy doing.
THIS!!!
Our unsheltered humans need *and* deserve it!

Philip Wessling & Prof. Martina Bauer pointing out the scaling potential of the ridiculous amount of 50 straw homes per year in Germany to hundred thousand(s) under a climate + resource conscious regime.
This is the best tech out there for low to mid rise. Destructive that there's no political will.
And the US president is very clearly and very blatantly implementing fascism in the USA as fast as possible with the help of white supremacist billionaires that the Labour government want to take over parts of the British government!
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Labour is no longer a party on the left of British politics.
Under Labour the children of Holocaust survivors are being rounded up and arrested for daring to peacefully protest against Israel.
Far right fascism in plain sight.
