Data centres are springing up everywhere, using massive amounts of energy and water. I’ve signed Friends of the earth's petition calling for a pause on new data centres until the government gets a grip on the situation. Will you join me? https://t.co/RK77o9V20S

[Hillingdon FOE @HillingdonFOE]

I’ve just sent my MP a postcard to remind them our rivers and seas are a health hazard, using this Friends of the Earth social tool. Will you join me and ask your MP what they’re going to do to get us clean water? https://t.co/GtjX8dq3Yl

Still time to respond!

Heathrow expansion will increase noise, worsen air pollution & increase carbon emissions across London & beyond.

The Govt says it will consider all responses before deciding whether to designate the HENPS.

Your evidence & concerns can shape that decision. There's one day left to have your say!

Data centres are springing up all over the UK – using massive amounts of electricity and, in many cases, huge amounts of water

Tell the UK govt: put the brakes on data centre expansion until there's a proper plan to stop them draining our resources

Heathrow consultation ends 1st September be sure to have your say on air pollution, noise, 6m more tonnes of C02 being breathed in by millions of Londoners, failing Labours 4 tests, all this for a 3 runway that only boosts the economy by 0.05% @andyburnham @Heidi_Labour

The Government consultation is not a formality. It is a chance to say clearly that Heathrow expansion fails Labour’s four tests on growth, climate, noise and air pollution.

We need cleaner, fairer and genuinely sustainable transport investment instead.

Labour’s climate test must be meaningful. Heathrow cannot claim to be compatible with net zero simply by relying on emissions reductions delivered by other sectors of the economy. #ClimateCrisis #NoThirdRunway

Water-guzzling, monster AI data centres are coming to Hillingdon. Our community already suffers from drought and high temperatures. These data centres will make it worse. Sign the petition now to protect our community!

The true benefit Heathrow 3rd Runway is its overseas investors @Heidi_Labour @andyburnham @JohnHealy_MP

[Celia Richardson @CeliaRichards0n]

In the communications industry we often say ‘show, don’t tell.’ I’d like to congratulate the beavers of the Holincote River for showing the nation what drought resistance looks like. They got the lead story today. No showing off just getting on with it. https://t.co/dHQodDaErR

A massive plastic pellet spill is threatening North Sea wildlife. Coastal communities are stepping up, but we need action. Join us and ask @andyburnham

Wildfires touching every part of the UK . The first year on record to see three separate days where temperatures reached the 37C threshold .

SUNDAY TIMES: Heathrow slashes its 3rd runway noise reduction budget from £241m to £52m. Clearly a sign of their attitude to the local community. #NoThirdRunway

The evidence supporting Heathrow expansion is weaker than ever, yet the documents presented in this consultation (taking place during the summer holiday) limit proper scrutiny. Some might say deliberately so!

Make sure your voice is heard.

Honestly, this is an outrage. Enough is enough. These evil lying bastards at the @DailyMailUK @dailymail are endangering all of us.
This is a lie.

2026 is the hottest summer on record, beating last years record.

Extreme wildfires have more than doubled globally, according to NASA.

Wildfires have exploded across the Earth.

The USA, Spain and France have seen record wildfires.

The Mail never ever lead with the science of climate change.

Labour deserves everything it gets because the govt itself does not understand climate change and refuses to have a National Televised Emergency Briefing @nebriefing to tell the public what we are facing.

I am becoming very alarmed by the reckless disregard this government has for the climate crisis, the ongoing heatwave and drought, and threatened food shortages. They seem to have the attitude, ignore it and it will go away.

I am not merely talking about the Labour Party and the PM Andy Burnham, I am talking about the government. Because the attitude of other parties, like the Conservative Party, Reform etc, is even worse. In reality this is just a continuance of the uniparty, with their being little difference between the parties that follow neoliberalism.

Let me briefly explain. Food shortages, which are threatened globally, not just in the UK don't just mean limited supplies in the shops, they mean rocketting food hyperinflation. The UK gets roughly half its food from overseas. But as we can see, Europe and other parts of the world are being hit by heatwaves and exreme weather. The Super El Nino is building up and will probably peak in the winter, which is forecast to cause major disruption to food supplies around the world to 2028.

So it is not simply a matter of the UK making up for food shortages by buying elsewhere, as there are likely to be food shortages elsewhere. As we live in a free market economy and food is a tradeable economy, shortages in supply, mean rapidly increasing prices. Most reports about food shortages, fail to mention the possibility of food hyperinflation.

I see no evidence that the UK government or other Western governments, understand the implications of this. I will write another post about this.

Farming and other lobbying groups have been putting pressure on government for quite some time, to develop a food security strategy for the UK, but government has just refused and ignored these calls.
