I was cycling to work this morning, stopped at a red light, noticed a dark thing flying, almost got sucked into the engine of a massive truck. But then seconds later it fluttered towards me and landed on my knee... Look at this gorgeous thing!

I don't know much about butterflies, so I looked up this one and it's a male Eastern-tailed Blue Butterfly, a common butterfly species across North America.

“We found that the tipping point where the [AMOC] shutdown becomes inevitable is probably in the next 10 to 20 years or so.”

Fuck.

If you struggle understanding the link between #Palestine and #ClimateAction, or why #intersectionality is the key to humanity's survival, here is a great #ElPais article about the #NativeAmerican tribe that shut down #AlligatorAlcatraz.
Some of this will make your blood boil (the T-shirt sellers for one). But if you look deeper, it shows why the only way out for all of us is deep #solidarity: not because it's ethical but because it works.

What’s not to like?

“The solar arrays provide critical shelter during extreme weather events, protecting sheep from both intense heat and adverse weather conditions. This protection creates a more stable environment for the animals throughout seasonal variations. The panels’ shade effect helps retain soil moisture, which promotes healthier grass growth and more nutritious forage for the grazing animals.

Interestingly, researchers noted reduced parasite presence in the solar grazing areas, contributing to improved overall animal health. This unexpected benefit appears to stem from altered ground conditions beneath the panels, creating an environment less hospitable to common sheep parasites.”

Come on Aussie graziers, get on board. Not just for the sake of your animals, but think about free electricity and extra income year round… You’d have to be mad not to consider it.

#DigitalPublicGoods are driving critical aspects of digital transformation worldwide and facilitating the solutions needed to strengthen #ClimateAction, #Healthcare, #Education, #FinancialInclusion and much more.

As funding landscapes evolve, #DPG product owners have issued an open letter underscoring the essential role of DPGs in achieving the #SDGs, and reminding the global community why consistent support is vital.

The Met Office is currently looking for people to suggest up to 5 names for storms...

It would be great if thousands all suggested the same 5 names (in alphabetical order as that's how storm names appear):

BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, Shell.

Met Office page is: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-our-storms-call-for-names

Whilst the Met Office is unlikely to adopt any of the above 5 names, if they are suggested in huge numbers it may attract media coverage, as was the case with Boaty McBoatface but with more serious intent. This would be enough to make the point to the government and the wider British public, might even get some overseas attention.

After a week of learning and living together, taking action against fascism, and preparing our movement for the struggle against the new fossil fascists, Climate Camp Scotland 2025 comes to an end.

Climate Camp Scotland will return to take the fight to fossil fuels and their fascist allies. Stay tuned and join the fight.
