Terrorism is when you try to stop a genocide, free speech is when you try to start one.

I will give a crisp £20 note to the first person who asks Starmer if he applied the same rigorous decision process to appointing Mandelson as he did to deciding not to prosecute Jimmy Savile.

What does the new £1bn investment in community energy really mean? It’s the largest public investment in community-owned green power in the UK to date. But what exactly is being promised, and how can communities get involved?

UK £1bn investment in community energy to create opportunities for communities to take “a direct stake in a clean, green, more affordable energy future,” to deliver 8GW of locally owned clean energy by 2030.

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents is weakening and closer to collapse than thought, new studies find | CNN New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would have catastrophic impacts on the planet’s weather and climate.

New study: most climate models underestimate the decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC. The AMOC is on course to slow by more than 50% by the end of the century. 🌊
Very likely the AMOC will then be past the tipping point for full shutdown. 😨

Tiny Microbes Hiding in Soil May Help Pull Rain From The Sky, Study Reveals Tiny organisms on the ground – bacteria and fungi – have a "superpower" that allows them to reach up into the atmosphere and pull down the rain, according to a recent study.

Bio-precipitation cycle with fungi: "As wind kicks up, their ice-making proteins are launched into the clouds. They act as powerful "seeds".

And industrial agriculture relies on extensive use of fungicide. We need to #Unlearn it

Gessen writes about the important legal decision in France to hold Corporations and their CEOs responsible for aiding terrorism. Would that American justice system could do this! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/o...

One point against this theory is the war planes over Baghdad about an hour ago
