Trust @PrivateEyeNews to tell it like it is. Wood burning is disproportionately polluting. It may be aesthetic but it’s not ethical if you have alternative heating.
What if we all decided to give in to this fantasy?!?

Former Israeli Deputy Chief of Staff says, “The picture of reality must teach us one resounding lesson: We have no future here if we don't stop being afraid. And if we don't stop with the racism. We must no longer accept Netanyahu's racist division between Jewish votes and Arab votes.”
נתניהו הפסיד. אני יודע לספור עד 120. 65 זה יותר מ-55. ככה עובדת הדמוקרטיה הישראלית. נקודה.
תמונת המציאות חייבת ללמד אותנו לקח אחד מהדהד: אין לנו עתיד כאן אם לא נפסיק לפחד. ואם לא נפסיק עם הגזענות. אסור לנו לקבל יותר את החלוקה הגזענית של נתניהו בין קולות יהודיים לקולות ערביים.
הקול של אזרח ישראלי שמצביע בטירה שווה בדיוק כמו הקול של אזרח ישראלי שמצביע בגבעת שמואל. לא פחות. לא בערך. בדיוק.
מי שמנסה למחוק את הקולות של האזרחים הערבים, נכנע לנתניהו ומוותר על ישראל.
ועכשיו בואו נדבר על ציונות.
בגוש של נתניהו יושבים 16 חברי כנסת ממפלגות חרדיות לא ציוניות, שמקדמות השתמטות המונית בזמן שהילדים שלנו נלחמים ונהרגים.
אם נתניהו מתעקש לספור רק רוב ציוני, שיגרע קודם כול מהגוש שלו את 16 חברי הכנסת של המפלגות החרדיות הלא־ציוניות.
הם לא יטיפו לנו על ציונות.
לגוש השינוי יש רוב ציוני: 49 מול 39.
לגוש השינוי יש רוב ישראלי: 65 מול 55.
יש לנו רוב. יש לנו אחריות. ויש לנו הזדמנות להקים ממשלת שינוי בשותפות עם אזרחי ישראל הערבים. ממשלה שתשרת את כל אזרחי ישראל.
עכשיו צריך אומץ. צריך מנהיגות. צריך להפסיק לפחד ולהתחיל לפעול.
ממשלת שינוי עכשיו!

I’m super conscious that media people, the industry I come from, think it’s extreme to post and focus this much on climate change.
But science says this could potentially be catastrophic for the whole world.
There has never ever been a threat on this scale.
Even nuclear war - climate collapse in a worst case scenario, scientists say, would take significantly longer to recover from, potentially thousands of years.
How can it be that so few media folk understand, care, engage or speak about this?

Main Reasons Kalimantan Is Burning
Kalimantan’s recurring fires are driven by human activity, not natural causes. Almost all fires are started by people.
• Cheap land clearing by burning: Farmers and companies still use fire because it is far cheaper and faster than mechanical clearing. This is done to prepare land for oil palm, pulpwood, and other crops.
• Oil palm and plantation expansion: Large areas of peatland and forest have been converted into industrial plantations. Many hotspots occur inside company concession areas.
• Drainage of peatlands: Canals built for plantations lower the water table. Naturally wet, fire-resistant peat becomes dry and highly flammable. Once lit, these fires burn underground for weeks and are extremely hard to extinguish.
• Weak enforcement and land governance: Permits have been issued on vulnerable peatlands, and rules against open burning are poorly enforced. Illegal logging also leaves dry debris that fuels fires.
Dry weather makes conditions worse, but the fires are started and sustained by these human practices.

Alasan Utama Kalimantan Terbakar
Kebakaran berulang di Kalimantan disebabkan oleh aktivitas manusia, bukan faktor alam. Hampir semua api dimulai oleh manusia.
• Pembukaan lahan dengan cara dibakar: Petani dan perusahaan masih membakar karena jauh lebih murah dan cepat dibanding alat berat. Ini dilakukan untuk membuka lahan kelapa sawit, HTI, dan tanaman lain.
• Ekspansi perkebunan sawit dan industri: Lahan gambut dan hutan banyak dikonversi menjadi perkebunan skala besar. Banyak titik api berada di dalam konsesi perusahaan.
• Pengeringan lahan gambut: Kanal yang dibangun untuk perkebunan menurunkan muka air tanah. Gambut yang secara alami basah dan tahan api menjadi kering dan sangat mudah terbakar. Api bisa membara di bawah tanah berminggu-minggu dan sulit dipadamkan.
• Lemahnya pengawasan dan tata kelola lahan: Izin diberikan di kawasan gambut yang rentan, sementara larangan membakar tidak ditegakkan dengan baik. Pembalakan liar juga meninggalkan serasah kering yang memperparah kebakaran.
Musim kemarau memperburuk kondisi, tetapi api dimulai dan dipertahankan oleh praktik manusia tersebut.
Tangis dan rasa lelah menyertai perjuangan relawan saat kebakaran hutan dan lahan (karhutla) meluas hingga mendekati Camp Tanjung Harapan, Taman Nasional Tanjung Puting, Kalimantan Tengah.
Tiupan angin kencang membuat kobaran api semakin sulit dikendalikan, sementara tim di lapangan terus berupaya memadamkan api demi melindungi kawasan konservasi dan habitat satwa liar.

“Oh, that's the fire front. It's broken through. It's broken through, guys. The fire can no longer be held back. The wind is extremely strong.
This is the current situation at Gunung Leuser National Park, at the main camp, Tenting Harapan.
The volunteers have tried their best, but sadly, the fire has broken through. We can't hold it back because the wind is so strong, and the flames are getting closer to the post.
We and our fellow volunteers have done everything we can, especially the members of Pokdarwis Tanjung Harapan, Mas Marka Tanjung Harapan, and the relevant authorities.
Oh God, this is so heartbreaking.”

Another global Nature summit is underway, this time in Armenia. All countries must work harder to meet agreed targets, including the UK. Are we up for being leaders, or do we think protecting the web of life is too expensive, inconvenient and complicated? naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2…

Das Heizen mit Holz verursacht in deutschen Wohngebieten fast die gesamte Feinstaubbelastung im Bereich des Heizens (92%), trotz geringem Anteil am Gesamt-Energieeinsatz (16%).
Holzverbrennung ist die mit Abstand schmutzigste Art des Heizens.

Brazil’s vote was about more than politics. It was about Amazon, Indigenous rights, clean air & our planet’s future. With Lula’s re-election over Bolsonaro, Brazilians hv chosen between protecting nature & exploiting it for corporate profit.
Destroy nature & it will hit back!

Lula's election in Brazil is a lifeline for the Amazon. A Bolsonaro victory could have been terminal for the rain forest.

🔻🌳The world's remaining intact forest landscapes are shrinking. What's causing it?
From 2000 to 2013, timber harvesting was the primary cause of reduction. Yet since 2020, fire has become the leading driver.

What a relief! Lula’s unexpected victory gives hope for the Amazon. He has dramatically cut felling, while Bolsonaro’s plans would doubtless have taken it past its tipping point, ensuring total eventual destruction with huge global consequences.

🚨 This is getting seriously dangerous.
The @BBC is withdrawing educational material on climate change and migration following accusations of political bias.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A POLITICAL OPINION.
It's established science.
MIGRATION IS A FACT OF HUMAN HISTORY.
Its economic, social and cultural contributions are documented, as are the challenges it can create. Immigration policy is open to debate, but children deserve to understand the evidence, not have political uncomfortable facts filtered out.
Political impartiality must never mean treating established evidence as ideology.
Education should teach children to examine reality critically, not sanitise it to avoid political controversy.

Please don't leave Halloween pumpkins to rot in your garden, or dump them in the countryside. Eating pumpkins can make hedgehogs, birds and other animals poorly. Instead, dispose of pumpkins in a covered compost bin or council food waste bin.
