@CiaranCuffe Very sad to see you lost your seat. You can be very proud of the impact you had on advancing the EU Green Deal parts and I personally was so inspired by your boat-train commuting that I have started to do the same. 🙌

"Doctors are distressed. They are calling us crying...by the horror they are seeing…This has to stop.
We're operating on children without anesthetics.
We don't have morphine for them."

Amnesty International is issuing an urgent call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties to end unprecedented civilian suffering.

In the face of unfettered devastation and suffering, humanity must prevail.

Thinking of all those trapped in the terror of the last week & months & years, how impossibly dark it must feel & be. As someone who lost his Dad to war & division in Northern Ireland, a small space filled with so much deep rooted pain, & loss, @PatricKielty ‘s sign off…

[Luke 'Ming' Flanagan @lukeming]

There was a time when @vonderleyen thought cutting off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with winter coming - were acts of pure terror. What's changed?

[The Blindboy Podcast @bbboatclub]

Call me mad. But I think that British army terrorists receiving amnesty for murder is more worthy of Irish newspaper outrage columns than a load of pissed 20 year olds singing up the Ra at a festival for craic

TBH, this seems worse than having the road blocked by climate activists for a few minutes.

[Jonathon Porritt @jonathonporritt]

And how spineless of the BBC not to air this on BBC1 as the sixth in the series.

It’s starting: the KlimaSeniorinnen hearing in Strasbourg. Stay tuned for live tweets from the hearing! (1/x)

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

[Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway]

Another day, another ag sector in crisis. Why should taxpayers continue to bail out these unsustainable businesses? Why can't we see some of that money go to rewilding and supporting farmers in the transition?

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

When someone commits a crime, they should be punished. But it is a war crime -- collective punishment -- to punish their family members, as the Israeli government is doing by demolishing their family homes. https://t.co/QSV1thtEXu

"We learned last week that certain fossil fuel producers were fully aware in the '70s that their core product was baking our planet...Some in Big Oil peddled the big lie."

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

It is the scientific consensus that hundreds of millions if not billions of people will be forced to migrate due to climate change within the next few decades. A lot of those people will end up dying. The geopolitics of a billion climate migrants. Let that fucking sink in.

[Oxfam International @Oxfam]

Extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously for the first time in 25 years. Billionaire wealth is booming, while millions struggle to survive. Let’s end this era of #SurvivalOfTheRichest. It’s time to #TaxTheRich to #FightInequality.

Climate strike week 230. We are currently in Lützerath, a German village threatened to be demolished for an expansion of a coal mine. People have been resisting for years. Join us here at 12 or a local protest tomorrow to demand that #LützerathBleibt !#ClimateStrike

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am deeply shocked by reports that the Taliban have suspended women and girls' access to universities.

The denial of education violates equal rights and will have a devastating impact on the country’s future.

I urge the Taliban to ensure equal access to education for all.
