Life on a bike. Keen on cycle touring; Coast of Britain, Europe, what's next? Climate change & Environment. Humans are a part of nature not apart from nature.
@bbcquestiontime@BBCOne The question: Will we have to hide from machines? Ask the people of Gaza, Lebannon, and Ukraine. They already are having to hide from drones that are automated, controlled by AI. Horrific.
Reform on the rise, a threat to democracy & decency.
"These Reform MPs, multi-millionaires with their own agendas, have been emboldened by Trump's victory & his administration's radical, cruel policies. Like sharks sensing blood in the water, they are out to exploit & divide."
@EatSleepCycle@TimMcKenna01 Oh no, only just saw this. Devastating news. Met Tim a few times when he lived in Norfolk. Gutted, but thanks for letting people know Anna. Such a great person. I hope he can find peace now.
This is very fishy.
@energygovuk has refused an FOI request from @campaigncc, asking for the Gov’s 'Assessment' justifying why £22 billion of public money should be paid to oil companies for carbon capture.
Hiding behind ‘commercial sensitivity’.

“If they protest in a way that gets noticed, they go to jail” - @mrjamesob cuts through with clarity & truth.
Complicity in the politics of “don’t look up” is hastening ever greater #climate breakdown - we can’t say we didn’t know
Please consider signing - Petition: Run a public information campaign on the climate crisis - so needed when the media don't give the #ClimateCrisis the attention it needs, and neither do our MPs. Public need to know the truth and what we can do.

BOAT PROTESTS in Dhaka and coastal areas kicked off today in #Bangladesh to mark the "Global Days of Action Against Gas Expansion" ahead of #COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. They are the people whose health and livelihoods are affected by gas power plants #DontGasAsia#EndFossilFuels
Can we just be honest? Please?:
The administrative head of CoP29 is using the event to sell gas.
>This climate CoP is f*cked. The whole thing is corrupted and dangerous.
It’s time to throw over the whole farce of these CoPs.
>Please RT to agree.

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .
@RupertLowe10 Reform MP for Gt Yarmouth, capitalising on the Trump win to stoke fear and a populist agenda, blaming people who are themselves victims, often of our foreign policy and colonialism, for our own problems. Misdirection, half truths, and often lies. How very 1930s.
🧯 US EMBASSY PAINTED ORANGE AS WE REJECT FASCISM
This morning the world wakes to find it has slipped further into fascism as well as climate breakdown. Trump's win puts the lives of ordinary people at risk, everywhere.
Political systems that can be bought by big oil have no value as we face the biggest challenge of our time.
The only real winner of today’s election is the corporate power that controls the major parties in both the US and UK. They continue to ensure the interests of the fossil fuel industry will continue to be prioritised over the wellbeing of ordinary people.
It is only through people coming together to disrupt business-as-usual that humanity will stand any chance of minimising the effects of climate breakdown, and the social collapse that follows. In Spain this week, hundreds of bodies continue to be dragged from the mud – this is just a small portent of what is to come if we don’t change course immediately.
As long as democracy is hijacked by corporate interests and billionaires, it will fail to deliver the change people are crying out for. This will always leave the door open for fake populists like Trump to exploit the disaffection many feel.
It’s time for ordinary people to step up, organise and make change happen, because it should be clear by now, no political leaders are coming to save us. Just Stop Oil.
The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️
2 years ago right now I launched #TheFeatherSpeech
It's 💔to know how easy & vital mandating swifts bricks is; how this unique & urgent measure would help govt nature targets yet so far...no govt action.
Do we want our swifts to become extinct?
IRAN: Salute this brave women who was beaten by morality police for wearing 'incorrect' hijab
So she walked in public in her underwear to protest what the police did to her
She's now been arrested. Her fate is unknown. HERO

I mean, I shouldn't be surprised really, the headline makes you think @BBC might just mention #ClimateCrisis & how Governments failed to act to reduce emissions, or the sick profits & destruction by Oil & Gas companies. But no, not 1 mention. We're fucked -https://t.co/LKoT8KRFsU
