No nuclear spin / let renewables win
Our land / no nukes

The thing with nuclear is it’s a great “climate solution” if you want to spend more, get less, create dangerous waste, and harm people and communities.

Today at #COP31, @CANIntl gave an extraordinary sendoff to the outgoing Brazilian #COP30 presidency, awarding a Ray of the Day for their work on roadmaps to phaseout fossil fuels + deforestation.

Meanwhile, New Zealand received a Fossil of the Day for being generally rubbish.

⁉️ Voters across the country just rejected rampant data center growth, yet senators are preparing to vote Monday on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (#BAAJA), which would boost data centers and an unprecedented fossil gas buildout.

There is no climate justice without Palestinian liberation. Ahead of #COP31, Palestinian civil society is calling for an end to the fossil fuel flows sustaining Israel’s genocide in Gaza + illegal occupation. @BDSmovement @SOMO

Ah, yes, Chris Bishop, the former tobacco lobbyist who once spent a night drunkenly yelling at me that climate change was a communist plot "takes the future seriously" and is "practically Greta Thunberg".

We are learning today that New Zealand’s terminally online far right no absolutely zero anything about running to the point that they think doing a last minute bib swap and running a fairly decent 11km fun run is a conspiracy and resignation worthy scandal.

Though wait, they’re all calling an 11km a marathon. That’s the true scandal here.

As the Luxon govt waged a #WarOnNature, Greenpeace called them out on every atrocity.

Shane Jones found it hard. He became obsessed with Greenpeace and over the years used his oratory prowess to dream up every insult possible.

📣Tomorrow's UK budget is PM Andy Burnham's chance to show he's serious about climate action & a just transition. Instead of heat pump funding cuts to increase defence spending, his gov. should end the carbon capture fairytale and back proven solutions!

The Senate's proposed permitting bill would strip communities of protections, accelerate gas expansion to power AI data centers, and undermine climate action.

It's a gift to the fossil fuel industry.

Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?
