[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump believes climate change is a “hoax,” and he and his Big Oil friends want more fossil fuel and carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, the planet is warming at dangerous levels and Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave.

We must break our fossil fuel addiction & save the planet.

[University of Aberdeen @aberdeenuni]

New University of Aberdeen spin‑out, Hychor, is on course to transform the future of clean energy with an innovative technology that produces green hydrogen directly from seawater, eliminating the need for freshwater and reducing the cost and infrastructure barriers that currently limit hydrogen adoption.

Founded by University of Aberdeen graduate Dr Jani Shibuya, Hychor aims to deliver low‑cost, on‑site hydrogen for off‑grid coastal communities and industries seeking to decarbonise. Following a successful equity investment round, the company officially spun-out and opened a new R&D facility in Aberdeen in early May 2026.

Hychor is now firmly embedded within Scotland’s growing energy‑transition ecosystem and is preparing to pursue global opportunities.

Dr Shibuya founded Hychor in 2024, serving as CEO, and he is now joined by co‑founder and COO Alex Colledge, along with three new staff. The company plans to begin industrial pilot projects in 2027.

Back at the Dalradian gold mine inquiry again this morning. After almost 50,000 objections to the plan, DfI called a local public inquiry which has been playing out since April. You can catch up on what's been happening so far here via The Detail

📣 James Sutton, Zero Hour Co-Director: “Blair’s interventions on energy policy would lock Brits into more instability and price shocks that line the pockets of his billionaire funders, not everyday people. This myth that it’s either clean power or cheap power may have been his policy in 2007, but the world has moved on, Britain can no longer afford to outsource its energy security to Blair’s friends.”

It was a beautiful occasion in London last night celebrating the life of my beloved friend Prof Len Doyal, who passed away recently last year.

A great person, friend, & philosopher.

Our shared adventures working on the #FreeCharlesByrne case came second to our friendship.

Another important column by Prof Jennie Stephens.

'Intentional obfuscation of the disastrous climate realities of AI is a necessary part of promoting the uncritical adoption of AI throughout society.'

Environmental groups say cap on recoverable legal costs - which comes into effect today - will have a chilling effect on environmental litigants and limit access to justice https://t.co/9oN5TCOXl8

My latest from the public inquiry into the Sperrins goldmine plans.

Striking submissions made around some impacts nearby residents fear this project would entail. There were also statements on harms that have already allegedly been caused.

It would be a good idea for the UUP never to mention this again.

Lovely being in Lund, #Sweden, again this week.

Last pic here I took of #AugustStrindberg's back window in the house where he wrote #Inferno, which I read after seeing a Belfast translation of his play "The Stronger" nearly 2 decades ago!
