โI thought climate change only happened in big cities.โ โ Bahati Emmanuel shares how our training changed his understanding of climate change, helping him recognise that it affects communities everywhere, including his own community.

I keep coming back to the shade. Forests cool entire regions for free, every single day. Bulldoze that for servers and you trade living shade for dead heat #Environment

It's hard to believe that some experts aren't aware that El Niรฑos have a step-change (ratchet) effect on global climate.
El Niรฑo warming is categorically not temporary.
It is irreversible, permanent, forever.
El Niรฑo is the engine that heats up the planet in apocalyptic surges.
This might be the single most important thing to understand about our situation.
For clarity, I added the steps to the graph... via Mark Cranfield
Climate Ratchet to form a Super El Nino into a El Padre:
'This is normally temporary, which is why we think of El Niรฑo as an event rather than a climate. The intriguing possibility raised by Earthโs geological past is that the background state itself can change.'
El Padre: When El Niรฑo Becomes the Climate - by Peter Dynes substack.com/home/post/p-216โฆ
'a terrifying systemic pattern has emerged: temperatures no longer drop back down to the pre-existing trend line after the event concludes. Instead, the climate system undergoes a step-changeโa warming ratchet that locks in a higher baseline.'

What I find insulting is that many of the people running Google claim to be fans of Tolkien. If they were, they would know itโs generally not a smart idea for wizards of tech and industry to attack an ancient forest.
ALT Guardian essay describing how Google illegally felled 250,000 trees to build a datacentre.
250,000 trees. Each one was habitat, carbon storage, and shade for the forest floor. A pause changes nothing for the species that lived there. This should cost them far more than a fine #Environment

EAM Dr S Jaishankar visited historic Ateshgah Fire Temple in Baku, Azerbaijan.
He also met with president Ilham Aliyev earlier today.
This makes my blood boil. Someone stealing your hard work, then blocking you so you have to chase them through a copyright form? Ridiculous. Hope the takedown goes through quickly, your marine shots deserve proper credit
I grow my own tomatoes and this one hurts. Fresh local food beats server racks any day. Why trade food security for datacenters? #Sustainability #FoodSecurity

The deer deserve that moorland far more than quads tearing it up. And National Trust land no less, they should be protecting it. I'd rather photograph wildlife than chase it. Solidarity to the sabs out there #KeepTheBan
Successdlful day! No kill for the Devon & Somerset Staghounds at Dunkery. Usual disgraceful behaviour and cruelty witnessed though. Plus hunting and driving quads all over @nationaltrust Holnicote estate. No hunting for the Quantock Staghounds who were in court! @mendiphuntsabs

250,000 trees felled illegally and the assessments weren't even done. Actions speak louder than words, and these actions are indefensible. I hope Finland holds them to account #Finland

What is buried there remains highly radioactive. Among the contaminants are isotopes of plutonium, including plutonium-239, which has a half-life of around 24,000 years.
Runit Island itself remains uninhabited and has been treated as off-limits since the cleanup.

Actions speak louder than words, and Spire finally acted. The real credit goes to the people out filming this cruelty. I've photographed wildlife for years and footage like this is sickening. Well done #FoxHunting

Spire Nottingham Hospital has confirmed that it has withdrawn its sponsorship of the Quorn Hunt's Ingarsby Chase following serious allegations arising from drone footage filmed by @NhantsHuntsabs.
In an email sent today, 20 October, the hospital stated:
"๐๐ป ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ค๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป ๐๐๐ป๐, ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ต๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ป ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ."
This follows our exposรฉ this morning showing Quorn Hunt staff repeatedly encouraging hounds to seize and tear at a fox, before pushing the body underneath hay bales after one of the terriermen spotted the drone.
