#ClimateDiary Facebook is a cesspit I know. I was not on it for 3 years but reactivated my account for local elections in May(stood as a #GreenParty candidate). Awful as it is, it is the best source of local news, including #Wildfires. 3 in last few days. I wouldn’t be aware of any of this without FB. Also the warnings and advice - none of it. 1/2

A) Political Ecology for understanding colonial-capitalist nature regimes – eg global palm oil agribusiness, how it arose, what it means for all of us entangled in it in different ways across the globe, plantations and all. 1/n

#ClimateDiary The world is using so much more energy every year that renewables can’t keep up: use of ALL energy sources continues to rise.
One case in point (#WorldCup and all): football transmission. Everything streamed all the time uses up masses of energy (a student doing her dissertation on this - that’s why it’s in my mind!)

#ClimateDiary In #Gaza too it is extremely hot now. People are living in tents in rubble, no fan or aircon. Israel continues to bomb, kill (“target practice”on children), and move the yellow line every day, squeezing people into 30% of (already small) Gaza by now. It also continues to limit access to water as s weapon of war. It is horrendous. 1/2

#ClimateDiary #GreenParty branch meeting yesterday evening in the sweltering heat- everyone red faced and sweaty. I joked: “I blame the legacy parties for this!”But of course it’s true, they are to blame. All other parties are completely wedded to capitalism, growth and fossil fuels. In fact, as Tim Mitchell showed so brilliantly showed in “Carbon Democracy”, fossil fuel extractivism is baked into the very core of how our political systems function. #GPEW

3/3 And hundreds of these political prisoners facing death sentence are children.
“On Monday 30 March 2026, the Israeli Knesset passed a law mandating the death penalty, by hanging, for Palestinians convicted of nationalistic killings. Executions are to be carried out within 90 days of sentencing. There is no right of appeal. There is no provision for clemency. And there is no age exemption for children.”

#ClimateDiary US sanctions on #Cuba are cruel and devastating. But Cuba getting its electricity going again reminded me of Cuba’s past successes in dealing with oil embargoes. This 2006 film, “The Power of Community: How Cuba survived Peak Oil”, shows how Cuba was able to lose more than half its oil imports and survive as a nation following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Long overdue catch up with #ClimateDiary and thinking about how, in history, there are always co-existing trends, each with their own momentum, inertia, infrastructures, material changes, discourses; like waves going in and out simultaneously. Perhaps we need to get better at seeing several simultaneously.
These 3 climate trends all co-exist and are all real:
1. Earth’s climate is now departing from stable conditions; we may be on a “hothouse trajectory” 1/4

Thinking about “civicmindedness”:
thinking and acting beyond your private life and work. Protesting, volunteering, participating in local politics, etc.
How some people have it and others don’t. How our whole Western individualist value system (more so now than even 30 years ago) works to erode it, but how important it actually is, in a deep, psychological way even. We are all part of communities and need to feel it.

#ClimateDiary. I am marking and marking - at the moment, blogs students wrote for Urban Political Ecology.
This final sentence just now is so good I have to share it here:
“The next time you are walking through a city on a hot day, do not just look for a tree. Ask yourself why it was planted there, who is allowed to sit under it, and who is still standing out in the sun.”

#ClimateDiary After a year or more of “post-activism” I have had a bit of a turning point this week: i became a “Relationships Officer” of my newly reborn local #GreenParty (Eastbourne), am part of the Exec and instantly linked into mobilising around the #gortonbyelection. Getting Hannah Spencer elected would be amazing!

Total, total #Dystopia. That it has really come to this - Trump’s plans for #Gaza unveiled at #Davos.
“I'm a real estate person at heart and it's all about location. And I said: 'Look at this location on the sea. Look at this beautiful piece of property. What it could be for so many people.'"
Which people? Who will live in there? What will happen to the people of Gaza? And the Western world goes along with this.

I am sick and tired of having #Trump in my life. Stupid MSM reporting every second of the day his latest stupid, exhausting antics, changes of mind.
Remembering a German phrase from the 1980s: “Stell dir vor es ist Krieg und keiner geht hin.” “Imagine it’s war and noone goes”.
Well, imagine all media just not reporting anything Trump says. Like, nothing. Wouldn’t that kind of take the wind out of him?
Forever. Or even just for a week or so. Just to have a break. That would be nice.

2/4 Also (more uninformed musings linking psychology and geopolitics with no expertise in either):
Trump is basically abusive, he is abusing/gaslighting all of us. Our times are so distorted that we have all become super quick to detect individual abuse (“he is gaslighting you ”; “you need to leave him”), but absolutely noone in MSM is calling out Trump in this way. They are all co-creating Trump world, gaslighting for him, reporting on him as if he is a normal person.

Dream team here, this “Board of Peace”
Have been detecting a new emotion recently triggered by news like this - same when Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump.
Barely an emotion; more like cold resignation to the surreal evil of our times; when you recognise there might have been outrage before but now it’s barely a flicker, like the last little flame when you switch off a gas cooker.
Need a name for it!

Aftershock: The War On Terror.
I just finished listening to this outstanding LRB podcast series and cannot recommend it enough. Like all of us of a certain age I remember 9/11 and its aftermath very well, and followed it all critically and angrily- but it is incredibly illuminating to be told the whole story of how 9/11 triggered an unprecedented expansion of US powers (surveillance, financial) especially now as it provides so much context for the #Venezuela coup.

I have nothing original or insightful to add but also don’t want to just stay silent when the US attacks its third country this holiday season (Nigeria and Iran before). The attack on #Venezuela is a bloody coup, breaking all international law. It should be condemned by all other leaders but many (Starmer) will not do that, of course.

#ClimateDiary i showed this in teaching the other day and it hit me all over again: how on earth did it happen that we all accepted #Profit having equal weight to planet and people? What even is this.
And yes, aware of origin and that now changed to “prosperity”. Also of the 17 UN SDGs etc. But there is no need for listing economic growth at all: planet and people wellbeing alone just fine. But we all accepted capitalism being inserted right into the heart of #sustainability

“Of course he abused pupils”
Really worth reading this account about not just #Farage but the institutional support he received, being made prefect despite his racist abuse and openly expressed far right views - he revelled in having same initials as National Front.
So important not just in view of Farage possibly becoming our next PM, but also because it highlights how public schools foster conservative and far right views. Today as much as then. 1/2 #UKPolitics

#Gaza Excellent piece on how, by attaching a military goal to each act of killing, Israelis of all stripes could partake in the slaughter without questioning the morality of their actions; and on the role of AI in this.
“AI has, in effect, enabled Israel to turn a cornerstone of international law — the obligation to attack only military targets — into a tool that legitimizes and accelerates the very slaughter it was intended to prevent” #Genocide

This is dirty work - don’t fall for this! This narrative here is so wrong. Yet, as ever, it is so much easier to put it out there than to dismantle it and show why it’s wrong, what is being done here.

To be honest i can’t stand how all these middle of the road people are now calling Israel’s two year onslaught on #Gaza a genocide.
Not hard now to see when so many thousands dead, millions displaced and starving, all institutions and infrastructure destroyed. The point is not what you call it, but to PREVENT it. That’s what the early calls were about. To stand by, say nothing for two years, then come out and look at the total destruction: “oh yeah, that does look like a genocide” - disgusting

“Palestinians would be encouraged into “voluntary” departure. Those who own land would be offered “a digital token” in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to finance a new life elsewhere.
Those who stay would be housed in properties with a tiny footprint of 323 sq ft – minuscule even by the standards of many non-refugee camp homes in Gaza.”
