.@airindia have been absolutely appalling in dealing with an issue they caused - still hoping they will do the right thing but the impression we have had so far is very poor. But let's see - will update with full details once we have news...

The clean energy transition is unstoppable.

Unstoppable because clean energy is the route to energy security.

Unstoppable because it is the economic opportunity of our time.

And unstoppable because the climate crisis is here, and unless we act, things will only get worse.

UN sanctions monitoring team: Al Qaeda provides Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan with Afghan fighters & training camps, leading UN sanctions monitoring team to warn, “greater collaboration among Al-Qaida affiliates and TTP could transform the latter into an ‘extra-regional threat’”

This instalment of the Daily Hustle is the heartwarming story of Ruzi Khan, a day labourer from Helmand who has opened his home to a destitute widow and her 6 kids., even though its a struggles to provide for his own family. #Afghanistan https://t.co/rFPfA1C0HD

[SIGAR @SIGARHQ]

(1/2) Afghan women in & out of #AFG have been protesting morality law, especially its ban on women’s voices, by posting videos of themselves singing online. In an interview with #NPR, one woman said, “Every day the Taliban seeks new ways to restrict women.”

We couldn’t agree with this more.

What about you?

[AAN Afghanistan @AANafgh]

In our new report, @AliSabawoon1 hears from Ruzi Khan. When faced with a family in distress, he and his wife, even while struggling to feed their own family decided they could not stand idly by in the face of the suffering of others. #Afghanistan https://t.co/rFPfA1C0HD

Rich people dont understand what climate change means. It means food running out in shops - sporadically then permanently. Peoples homes becoming uninsurable after flood after flood. Collapse of law and order. Eventually it means police being overhwhelmed. And it wont get better

Taliban’s bans on other drugs have mixed results, & recent resistance & unrest due to opium ban show Taliban faces mounting challenges. Questions of how long Taliban’s opium ban will last, & whether Taliban will succeed…in ridding #AFG of its opium dependence, yet to be answered

@MrMatthewTodd Get on to bluesky!

44 scientists have issued a stark warning about the threat of a major ocean circulation change, causing a detrimental disruption of climate patterns lasting for centuries to come.
Check out this short video explaining what this is all about.

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

Words fail. Words fail. Today the World Meteorological Association released their annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin. Carbon levels have reached a level not seen since the Pliocene Epoch 3 million years ago - when sea levels rose an astonishing 30-60 feet. We explain:

Norway says Israel’s banning of UNRWA is illegal under international law and takes the case to the International Court of Justice.
“No-one should be above international law. Israel is obligated to enable relief for civilians in areas they occupy”. https://t.co/TecMdc86GN

Makes me feel sick how they casually reported a third of trees are at risk of extinction on the BBC news. We are monsters. We seem to think we can live without trees and animals and food and life. And now they’re onto the football. Sheer sick madness.

Over 130 journalists have been killed in Gaza. So many, in such a short time, in so small a territory. “Slaughtered like goats, like sheep, and nobody does anything” says a Gazan friend.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

“We’re heading to 3.2C and beyond. That’s a collapse scenario.”

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Carbon capture instead of stopping oil & gas

EVs instead of reducing car dependency

Ocean cleanups instead of stopping plastic production

Planting trees instead of ending deforestation

Ever notice how all the fashionable 'solutions' are all aimed at not changing anything?
