A major incident has been declared after a blaze engulfed a forest at a UK National Trust site three miles from Sizewell B nuclear power plant.
Nuclear climate casualty.

Scotland just lost 600 hectares of an ancient forest that has stood since the ice sheets melted 9,000 years ago. The Cairngorms wildfire is still burning after 12 days.

Yes, this is happening right now.

[Independent England.. Engdependence! @EnglishUDI]

Can anyone say what useful purpose the UK...the Union of our 4 nations serves? I can't think of anything. Surely 4 independent nations running their own affairs and catering for the various needs of their own people would be much better suited to the C21st?

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Tragically, this is no surprise. Goa & the Manali Himalayas are full of damaged kids, ex-IDF conscripts, high as kites, trying to live with the horrors they have been ordered to commit & find ways to justify things they've done which they know deep down to be profoundly wrong

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

Macron has vowed: 'We will rebuild'.
Shows how clueless politicians are
Every year it will get hotter and hotter
The more you rebuild
The more it will burn down again and again and again
How about some real climate action
Ration flying now
Ban private jets

One of the most ominous risks for Europe is that of a major change in Atlantic ocean currents.
Recent science suggests it has been greatly underestimated in the past -including by me, having worked on it for over 30 years.
Here my half-hour presentation in Vilnius a week ago!

@JTessandor56099 The rule of thumb is:

• Many will see 2°C.

• Few will see 3°C.

• Nobody will see 4°C.

So yes, humanity will be gone by 5°C guaranteed.

Re ‘No 10 North’: I appear to have caused some agitation in the troll community by pointing out Andy Burnham’s Anglocentric view of where the ‘north’ of the British Isles is. Here’s a map to help, with an arrow pointing to Manchester - in the south.

[C Roberts(tweets from a colonised Scotland) @CRobertsonUK]

It takes great cuntery to block 1500 jobs in a Chinese wind turbine factory locating to Scotland, citing national security concerns, when every electronic fucking device in your home, operating your cars, and including your phone being turned off would break the world.

[bawbagstauner @bawbagstauner]

What really fucking boils my piss is that we had the opportunity to change the world after Covid. The pandemic produced a fascinating real-world experiment. It demonstrated that human activity can alter emissions and local environmental conditions extraordinarily quickly

[Ally @dafckia]

So the Brit Nat press are in full anti Scottish mode (as usual) What they are not saying is that in the last 10 years Westminster has cut fire service budgets by 40% in real terms.. So Scotlands funding has also been cut through the Barnet formula! These idiots voted for this!

[Paula 🍉 @PaulaCoyscot]

It’s an indication of just how ridiculous the UK, Scotland included, has become when elderly people can be lifted for placards against genocide but not for literal Nazi salutes.

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

The decision by The Sunday Show not to cover the Sarwar peerage row was shocking, even by BBC Scotland standards. There is simply no justifiable reason for ignoring the biggest political story since the Holyrood election and one that has caused anger and fury inside Scottish Labour.

It raises legitimate questions about the impartiality of the team behind the programme and its presenter Gary Robertson. What input did he have? Was he in agreement? Did he raise objections?

Compounding the blatantly biased decision was the lengthy pro-Burnham discussion with two guests that heard several outrageous claims about the new PM and devolved areas.

BBC Scotland is broken and has been for some time. Episodes like this merely serve to confirm the extent of the damage an extreme BritNat culture has done to the station.

Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre.

Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement.

Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire.

Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas.

Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé.

Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin.

La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher.

Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés.

Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse.

Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage.

This is disgusting & brings shame on us all.
It is the result of muscular Unionism & not the ethos of Jock Tamson's bairns.
Scotland is at a crossroads & we must choose whether we stand with our neighbours.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

The world spent 80 years building an international court to hold those who commit the worst acts known to humanity to account.

Israel, a non party to the ICC "played an active role" in dismantling it.

Astonishing and terrifying

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: allowing the US to use British air bases for its illegal war on Iran is a catastrophic, historic mistake.

[Nature Unedited @NatureUnedited]

Today I learned rabbits can swim. Even better: their ears fold back into swim mode. I feel this information deserved to be shared
