"[A]mongst those of us privileged enough to fly, and make decisions about energy policy that will impact others more than ourselves, we appear oblivious to the catastrophe we are seemingly complicit in. Cognitive dissonance or a deliberate attempt to maintain privilege and global inequalities?"

"what I find most disturbing is that the use of aviation remains typically unquestioned, placing increasing pressure on other industries to move more quickly, despite its dominant use by a privileged minority." - Prof. @aliceclimate.bsky.social

The first Swiss journalist to reach Gaza under the army of genocide lost his temper at the horror he witnessed, saying: “Humanity was destroyed here.”

We renew our call on international media and investigators to pressure the genocidal state to allow immediate access to Gaza.

The messages from conservation orgs are finally getting more urgent and more realistic in their language.

Climate change is rapidly outpacing conservation.

Grim reading.

New report highlights effect of climate change on UK nature reserves

The Wildlife Trusts have published a new assessment of the effects of climate change on UK natue reserves. The report, Resilient Nature, shows how much-loved species and habitats are faring across 2,600 reserves in response to the changing climate and extreme weather over the past year. Extreme changes in weather patterns have been the most damaging overall, reports BirdGuides.

Israel could get out of all the Palestinian land it is illegally occupying, stop stealing more land every day, return the 11000+ Palestinian hostages, stop controlling power and water in Gaza and hand over war criminals to the ICJ.

For starters.

The BBC still insists on including such lines as this in its stories: "Israel has repeatedly denied that starvation is taking place in Gaza, and Netanyahu has said that where there is hunger, it is the fault of aid agencies and Hamas."

That’s largely what Norfolk does but unsubmitted records (& NP records) remain in Birdtrack / EBird.

The data in online recording systems for my 10km patch are poor (Birdtrack is a shambles) but at least the official county record is pretty decent. 👍

Great one minute summary of the climate impact from decreasing maritime stratocumulous clouds.

Above warmer oceans, clouds evaporate faster, exposing the dark ocean to direct sunlight, leading to even more warming.

And decreased air pollution from ships reduces cloud droplets and their size:
