It rained.... And as predicted on @LBC with @HenryRiley1 not 48 hours ago. Anything in brown is sewage being dumping into the environment right now, in real time, anything in red is sewage dumped over the last 24 hours.

New noise cameras in New York City's Upper West Side will snap a pic of cars and motorcycles exceedig 85 decibels (like being next to a lawnmower). Fines are $220 for a first citation, and up to $2.625 for repeated offenders. theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

Honk honk! Can noise cameras reduce ‘potentially fatal’ sound pollution?

As noise detectors are installed in a rich neighborhood of Manhattan, experts worry they will punish people of color

The idea that #Rosebank is part of some 'just transition' to #NetZero is utterly absurd And this, from a Govt that has totally failed to do anything meaningful about UK having some of the most heat-leaking homes in Europe, meaning our bills are far higher than they should be

For anyone thinking, “Summer this year in Britain hasn’t been hot and sunny enough; think I’ll fly abroad next time”, do remember to ask yourself, WHERE?: Rhodes? Hawaii? Greece? Spain? Majorca? Florida? California? Everyone and everywhere is now on the climate frontline.. Pse RT

Tories are going to pollute our rivers even more, Only 14% declared "good" ecologically now Michael Gove! AND confirmed they'll force taxpayers to pay £140m bill for pollution caused by developers We're PAYING for more pollution! Loathsome DREGS of a govt theguardian.com/society/2023…

Scrapping housebuilder water pollution rules in England to cost taxpayer £140m

Under Lords amendment, developers will no longer have to offset nutrient pollution from new homes’ sewage

35,000 evacuated in British Columbia 30,000 more on evacuation alert 20,000 in Yellowknife evacuated 26,000 evacuated in Spain. Historic heat, historic floods, historic wildfires. How many more signs do we need before we #ActOnClimate? #climate #wildfires

Enough @Siobhan_Baillie. You did not create a GCSE in Natural History, nor win the fight for it. This is an insult to those of us who worked so hard to make this a reality. Post-truth, alternative-fact, utter fabrication. siobhanbaillie.org.uk/campai… @BBCGlos @EdwardRowe @BBCr4today

In China, the worst floods in modern history have driven a million people from their homes. In AZ, the temperature was over 110 degrees for 31 straight days. Maybe the U.S. & China should work together to combat climate change rather than combatting each other in a new Cold War.

No, @RishiSunak. The UK is missing climate targets on nearly every front, even the gov’s own advisers & your colleagues say so. Only oil & gas billionaires stand on your side. You need to take more than lectures on your record. You need to take real climate action NOW.

Rishi Sunak somehow thinks that by sucking more oil and gas out of the North Sea, the UK will DECREASE its reliance on fossil fuels???

Replying to @grantshapps @JustStop_Oil
@grantshapps, I hope you’re reading all these comments. You’re quite literally signing a death warrant to the planet as we know it. When will it hit home for you? When your neighbours house is on fire (it already is), or when yours is? Please wake up and smell the smoke over the money.
