Let’s be clear. Carbon capture is mainly about giving a lifeline to the fossil fuel industry and tree-burning #Drax power station—and will actually worsen global heating. Good to see this reported by @edienet today. edie.net/bottomless-pit…

Shocked to hear @ReformUK stood a candidate against me in May's Lancashire County Council elections who recently attended an event organised by a group described as 'Britain’s largest far-right white supremacist movement.' People attending race hate events should be nowhere near…

Studies show: Trees are the true air conditioners. Under a tree, the temperature can be 15 C° cooler than measured in the ambient air. Shade and evaporation create the same effect as a conventional A/C, but without electricity. A tree produces about 20-30 KW/h, as much as ten A/C

It's a sunny Sunday and you probably have better things to do, but can you help us get to over £500 on our crowdfunder by the end of the day? avivacommunityfund.co.uk/p/sharing-the-…

Scientists have told us that climate change has the potential to kill billions of people yet the media have treated it like a fringe issue with no real urgency at all. The media should never be forgiven, ever.

Israeli has set fire to Taybeh — a 10,000-year-old village in Ramallah, Palestine. A place where Jesus once walked. Home to the world’s oldest living Christian community. And not a peep from Western mainstream media.
