Lord. What have y'all done.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

The Guardian view on EV charging: China took the right lessons from Britain’s past | Editorial Editorial: Megawatt fast EV charging reflects a coordinated grid strategy the UK once used. Privatisation and fragmentation now make that infrastructure far harder to build

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Yep. Cut out shareholders, nationalise strategic infrastructure. This would support the electrification of industry as well as citizens' domestic bills. Win-win!

Nutrient pollution in UK rivers is ‘widespread, persistent and in some cases worsening’, report finds A major citizen science project has found worsening levels of nitrate pollution in UK rivers, with anglers calling for stricter regulatory limits.

On English rivers:

“Excess nutrients translate into algal blooms, fish without oxygen. Ecosystems have spent thousands of years finding their balance, but just a few decades of mismanagement &profiteering at expense of the environment, and the impacts are clear"

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.

It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

While people feel the foundations of their lives are shaking, this deep crisis will continue | Clive Lewis The partisan debate since the Gorton and Denton byelection risks blinding us to the truth. People are rejecting wholesale the way our politics has developed, says Labour MP Clive Lewis

Can't disagree with this, @labourlewis.bsky.social
It needs saying, by lots of people. But do we have confidence that the current @labouruk.bsky.social have the self awareness or the political courage to change? No, not under current leadership. That can change..

It's incredible to me that the embrace of fossil fuels is not considered deviant.

If you want a breakdown of how US LNG imports are just not going to bring down our electricity bills, & greenhouse gas emissions are baked in if we turn ever more to LNG, this is the account to follow 👇🏾

Really not convinced they have sorted the income against costs ratios...

If you understand the implications of this, I don’t know how you’re not terrified for our kids.

Trump assumed a war would be helpful. It would justify emergency powers. It would deflect from his failures. It would make him seem larger.

But it is making him smaller, more hostage to what’s occurring than leader, more Netanyahu’s patsy than partner, another president sucked into a forever war.

There are problems with a geoengineering techno-fix for the climate crisis | Mike Hulme Geoengineering does little to defuse most of the risks that really matter for people – and it runs the risk of making some harms worse

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.
