This is Mujahid. He was 7y old. We treated him in our #cancer department. This was his last drawing - a message of thanks for the #chemo he received while living in the blockaded Gaza Strip. Last night a bomb was dropped on his home, killing him and his entire extended family.

The moment when journalist Mohammed Farra receives news that his wife and children have been killed in an Israeli air strike.

More than 6,500 people have been killed in Gaza, including over 20 journalists.

CEO of biggest carbon offset certifier @VerraStandards has resigned after forest program exposed for fraud. @Disney @Shell @gucci among the mega-corps who bought into the lie. Companies must stop buying carbon indulgences, do the work & change from within https://t.co/gwxzqQP4M5

@euro_jet A private jet company claiming to be #sustainable because you've got refillable water bottles. 🤦 #BanPrivateJets

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

🚨URGENT: We are extremely concerned about the reports of excessive use of force against the climate activists at #EBACE2023 Europe’s largest private jet fair. We demand the immediate release of the 100 detained activists. Updates to come. #BanPrivateJets https://t.co/2XTJhImYsy

@Spriter99880 It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Superman!

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

It will never stop astonishing me that otherwise intelligent people in science, in policy, in the academy, at the center of international climate change negotiations, truly believe that fossil energy companies will willingly transform themselves into allies of decarbonization.

@elonmusk getting rid of you

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Imagine having an economic system where ecologically urgent and socially necessary things (renewable energy, public transit, affordable housing) are not produced simply because rich people cannot make enough profits doing so. Irrational barely begins to describe it.

[Matteo De Vos @mdvmatteo]

@GeorgeMonbiot but agroecology is as much a sociopolitical struggle for land rights as it is a set of agricultural practices. Let's not forget how important that is (2/2)

[Matteo De Vos @mdvmatteo]

@GeorgeMonbiot Like with all things, I bet the future of food will be a mixed bag of solutions. New food tech & fermentation replacing cheap meat, improved yield agroecology serving (richer) niche markets but hopefully also providing lower income communities with some food sovereignty (1/2)

[Daniel Bleakley @DanielBleakley]

How about jailing the people responsible for blocking this road?

[Matteo De Vos @mdvmatteo]

A snippet of good climate news a day keeps climate anxiety at bay ✌️💚

@Climate_issues Especially when the naturalistic fallacy or the locavore fallacy comes into play.

[Matteo De Vos @mdvmatteo]

This is why we need a call to arms to fight factory farms (and industrial ag more generally). There's nothing more frustrating than watching infighting between movements who share 90% of the same objectives.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

There's a myth being widely promoted at the moment (including in letters to the Guardian today), that we face a choice between precision fermentation and agroecology. But this is an entirely false dichotomy. They could and should be complementary approaches.🧵

Since Elon Musk refuses to stop talking about free speech, let’s look at his actual record on the topic.

Stellantis alone, (the European parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram) has bought more than $2.5 billion in carbon credits from Tesla. All those gas guzzling SUVs, trucks, and 800hp musclecars? Thank a Tesla buyer. They literally couldn't exist otherwise. 8/
