Thoughts and prayers tonight with Israel 🇮🇱, a tiny beacon of light and democracy battling for its survival in a difficult and scary neighbourhood; attacked relentlessly by Hamas on one side and Hezbollah on the other, and now threatened directly by the puppet-masters themselves…

This is fascinating – on what it’s actually like to come under attack and have to run for your life from murderous jihadists whilst tripping on acid, MDMA, ketamine or whatever.

In the 1920s, Le Corbusier, funded by a car producer, dreamed of sweeping away the boulevards of Paris & replacing them with 60 storey concrete towers, zoned by class & linked by fast roads in open countryside . It never happened…..

The US government runs a program named “wildlife services’’ which exists solely to kill wildlife, from black bears to beavers to coyotes, at the behest of agribusiness interests. I wonder how many US taxpayers would approve of this if they knew about it. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-r…

Please, I beg you, check out the replies here. I’ve hit a seam of conspiracy-peddling madness the likes of which you cannot believe 😂
(Who knew the extent of the overlap between climate denial nuttery and Jew hate? This must be where hard Left and far Right meet)

This is a great analogy, except he’s got the characters the wrong way around. It is the climate scientists that are Galileo, who was in favour of evidence and reason, surrounded by wingnut conspiracy theorists like Vivek who are the religious zealots of today.

Prominent climate change denier James Delingpole had a column in The Telegraph for a long time to tell us all how stupid we are for imagining that anything humans can do might change the climate. It’s sort of funny, in a dark kind of a way, to see the mental gymnastics now.

You could not make it up. A magazine called pig world which squeals the views of the intensive pig industry is sitting down with APHA - who may well be in their poke and the FC who should not be - the future of wild boar in Britain. No other orgs can input. Just the killers.

‘Communications campaign to be launched to highlight dangers posed by wild boar in Forest of Dean’

The war on nature rolls on and on because politicians and officials think voters don’t care, so they just do the bidding of boneheaded vested interests. pig-world.co.uk/news/communica…

Cows are herbivores — why are they being fed chicken?! It's obscene that this is allowed.

Industrial agriculture is catastrophic for all life on this planet.

I’m so proud to have helped build up Pakistan Environment Trust these last years. I can’t believe how much has been achieved already. My greatest rewilding dream for Pakistan is the return of Asiatic rhinos - and we are inching closer to this goal! Eid Mubarak! pakenvironment.org
