The Greenland ice cap is losing around 30 MILLION tonnes of ice an hour due to the climate crisis - 20% MORE than what scientists originally thought.

You are being fed misinformation by the BBC.

Former BBC presenter @KarishmaPatel99 explains how.

No one talks about the garbage island in the Pacific.

But it’s larger than France, Germany, and Spain combined.

And it’s leaking toxic chemicals into the fish you eat.

Here’s what you were never told about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

We are going to wait till 100s of thousands die in a single event before we face climate change.
When that happens, these are the people you should blame: politicians, the fossil fuel industry, bankers - but most of all the media for not fully informing the public

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in Washington.
The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust.
Here's a giftlink to my report from ground level about what the shutdown of USAID means: https://t.co/tbgKk7ESqj

How vile. The UK or Scottish Governments should step in and fund the team at Yale doing this incredible work.

Nothing to see here, just a 49-page UN report documenting Israel's "genocidal acts" in Gaza and its systematic use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. https://t.co/SpEM8opnjn

Lincoln talked about a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

Today, with Trump as our president, we have a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.

This is an evil thing from the American fascists.

We British need to say so, clearly,

Putin cannot be trusted, Trump is a fool to betray Ukraine and betray everything my father and his friends fought for in WW2.

It is wrong to steal someone else's land.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

[John Sweeney @johnsweeneyroar]

And Putin? When will he have a fair and free election? Ask @navalny

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

Pass it on.
