Trump did not cause the climate crisis - it was already locked in. But he will massively accelerate it. On #politicslive yesterday.

Francesca is on point as usual.
Also, we need Western countries allied to Israel to stop reinforcing the Zionist belief that global opposition to Israel is related to the religious affiliation of the majority of Israelis, rather, it stems from distaste for the previous 75 years of military aggression and grave mistreatment of the native population whose land they now occupy.

Its a blessing to work in environmental conservation in a country where death threats are rare. Respect to Colombia's environmental defenders.

#ParisAgreement and #UNFCCC are facing a relevancy crisis:
1. We are likely past the 1.5 target
2. #COP29 being written off by world leaders
3. Trump will likely pull out of Paris (which is dumb, but whatevs).
This is not the most terrible outcome. Hear me out. 🧵

Israel has announced to the world that it has ethnically cleansed northern Gaza.
From the very start, it has been hideously clear what Israel’s intentions are.
But it’s those who have said so who have been smeared, while the apologists and deniers have faced no accountability.

America *now* poses a major threat to the planet? The US pumped more oil than any country did ever in history during the outgoing administration.

America is a failed Democracy.
Our media failed us, our institutions failed us, our people failed us.
Worst of all, we now pose a major threat to the planet.

Second offshore wind auction announced for 2025.
A new, second, offshore wind auction will be run in 2025. This is additional to the announcement last week that an auction for the Tonn Nua site, off the coast of Waterford, will take place early in 2025.

George Monbiot: “I’m not going to take lessons in climate from someone from Policy Exchange which is funded by the oil industry”
David Goodhart (Policy Exchange): “It isn’t”
GM: “I can demonstrate that it is”
DG: “Anyway, that’s not what we’re here to discuss”

Congratulations for spectacularly missing the point. You can write about who funds those groups because they disclose this information. But groups like Policy Exchange won't tell us. Only a few details have slipped out. All the most opaque thinktanks are rightwing.

If you fly to escape the British weather, be aware that flights make the weather worse for everyone else left behind – in real time, not just in the future.
Not what Spain needs right now.
