Because conserving INTACT primary forest is 1000000x more valuable than reforestation! 🌳😤
PRIORITISE IT!

Just because the air in Malaysia is now free from the haze, does not mean we have to stop talking about it. Keep talking about forest fires, keep demanding corporate accountability, keep asking for Clean Air Act for our country & keep protesting for justice.

These are the demands from the general strike in Spain. Pretty bold and radical in the context of Spain's housing situation and current political orthodoxy.

DID ANYONE SEE THE ”CLIMATE MORONS” LIFT A FINGER TO SAVE THE OLDEST RAINFOREST ON EARTH WHILE IT HAS BEEN BURNING FOR HALF A YEAR NOW?!?!!!
ANYONE?!?!?
The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident around the world. No country can ignore the challenges posed by climate change.
Today, I delivered Finland’s national statement at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye. In my statement, I highlighted three key messages:
1. We cannot solve the climate crisis without multilateralism.
2. Our actions must be based on science and innovation.
3. Climate action also strengthens competitiveness and economic resilience.

“… the salmon industry is also a microcosm of problems of sovereignty in Scotland itself ... farmed ‘Scottish’ salmon is 0% Scottish-owned …”

One difference noted here is the UK's labour laws, which prevent (in law at least) workers from striking unless in dispute with their own employer. The author makes a case for why this shouldn't stop coordinated action though.
🔑 Today, as a general strike takes place today in Spain over housing, we publish this article from Mara, a housing activist, analyses the differences between Britain and Spain’s movements.

The @ScotParl has just voted for the call to transfer broadcasting powers to Scotland.
We need a thriving national broadcaster that can be fully supported to represent our country, and it's time for the powers to be devolved to a Parliament that actually cares about it.

Huge drop in UK cereal harvest compared to 1984 - the first year of records
We have been able to make up shortfalls with imports, but as harvests are hit worldwide, countries will hang on to what they have

INDONESIA IS BURNING AND DEFORESTING 150 MILLION YEAR OLD OXYGEN PRODUCING RAINFOREST WITH MILLIONS OF UNIQUE LIVES IN THEM -
TO PLANT SUGAR CANES AND PALM OIL TREES FOR:
BIOFUEL
READ THAT AGAIN‼️‼️
DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THE ”CLIMATE” AGENDA?!?!
Biofuel is a central part of the project, not a side note.
In the Merauke Food and Energy Estate (South Papua), the Indonesian government is clearing large areas for sugarcane specifically so that the cane can be used for two things:
1Sugar (for national self-sufficiency)
2Bioethanol (ethanol fuel, to be blended into gasoline)
This is framed as part of Indonesia’s broader push for food and energy self-sufficiency, following Brazil’s model of using sugarcane for ethanol. Officials have repeatedly said they want Merauke to start producing bioethanol by around 2027.
Scale
•The sugarcane component is planned on a very large scale (hundreds of thousands of hectares, with some figures going up toward 1–2 million ha across clusters).
•The project includes integrated sugar mills + bioethanol plants (investment estimates around US$5–6 billion for major clusters).
•Bioethanol is meant to come mainly from molasses (a byproduct of sugar processing), with the overall goal of reducing Indonesia’s reliance on imported fuel.
Why it matters for the deforestation
The “energy” part of the Food and Energy Estate is a key official justification for the massive land conversion. Clearing rainforest, savanna, and peatland for these sugarcane plantations is directly tied to the biofuel plans.
In short: biofuel (bioethanol from sugarcane) is one of the main official reasons the Indonesian government is driving the large-scale clearing in Merauke, alongside rice production.
