This may not mean much to some people, but it's utterly terrifying.
The oceans are belching up just some of the countless Hiroshima bombs worth of excess anthropogenic heating they've absorbed, into an atmosphere already hotter than humans have ever experienced.

To Dinefwr Castle
Three Beech sentinels stand even spaced, even aged, as placed and planted. Roots grip the outer rocky surface a mounded tomb like shape. Mossed like feet, rooting toes fan out, shaping a knotted vault. Sunlight seeps in shafts, from right to left, bleaching Beech’s green to yellow, that dissipates into bright white sky. Our view, looking up from castle path beneath a frame of branches, between & beyond their even spaced trunks into the light.

I was looking for a silent Sunday - not sure who was more surprised by being confronted by a whistling tree.

Who in their right minds would want Data Centres rolling out in Wales, or anywhere else?
I gave 4 years of my life to the core group of Frack Free Wales, @plaidcymru@toot.wales members, in Welsh Government now, campaigned with us, to win that fracking moratorium.
Our children will not look back and say ‘thank heavens for Data Centres’ 🔥🌍

‘If a billionaire disappears, does the world lose a scientist? No.
An artist? No.
A healer? No.
A teacher? No.
A farmer a horticulturist? No.
The world loses nothing of value,
because #billionaires produce nothing.
They consume.
They extract.
They pollute.
They destroy #nature.
They build empires on suffering.
Their existence is not a triumph of the economic system!
It’s proof of its failure.
There’s is a just an fair alternative, and it's called a #WellbeingEconomy

@tajavargen@mastodon.social Beautiful observation.
A satirical editorial cartoon, that depicts the galloping Four Horses of the Apocalypse, and their hooded black cloaked riders; but there’s an extra fifth!?
From left to right:
1. War
2. Famine
3. Pestilence
4. Death - looking at the fifth horse rider says “AND YOU ARE?”
and
5. says looking at their mobile phone - “MISINFORMATION”

In 2022 the Senedd required all Welsh local authority pension funds to get rid of their investments in fossil fuels by 2030. But still, over a £125m is invested rip off climate busting fossil fuel companies.
Now invest in community renewable energy & our children!

Palantir, the controversial U.S. company working with ICE and the Israeli military, has access to our private data via NHS databases. We need the Government to trigger the break clause on their contract NOW.
Keep your filthy, extremist hands off our data and communities!
https://act.38degrees.org.uk/act/trigger-the-Palantir-break-clause
We need The Greens in the Senedd not ReformUK, who’d dismantle Wales’ devolution, kill off completely any remaining Welsh community and culture - and throw our future generations and farmers under a climate change denial bus.

Me, front row in Green ✅🤔 wow 14 yrs since I first stood for The Wales Green Party.
Wales Green Party launches their Political Manifesto.
All other parties say they’ll tackle our cost of living crisis - how long did you need? We’ll tackle the climate, nature, and cost of living crisis
Hope is Here ✅ ⬇️ https://wales.greenparty.org.uk/manifesto/
Wales’ community wealth & future wellbeing sits with the ownership of renewable energy - not the dirty wealth extraction of fossil fuels!

@Mirjam_008@mastodon.nl in the English local elections they're going to see a ruck load of new Green Councilors.
Westminster is a way off yet - for things to shift.
Replying to
@deelion@mastodon.social they are appealing across the political spectrum- that’s what happens hen you speak to intrinsic values, more in common values.
Replying to
@cockneylaurie@mastodonapp.uk in the U.K. ReformUK have crashed for a polling lead of 40% plus - The Greens in the U.K. 9 months later are now equal lead at around 20% each.
Politics can shift fast, if you deliver the intrinsic values hearts and minds narrative really well that counters billionaires historic divide and rule propaganda. @ZackPolanski@mastodon.green has done this.
Replying to
@Simon318ppm@mastodon.sdf.org @ZackPolanski@mastodon.green @BBCNews@flipboard.com laughable headline though.
Replying to
The WFGAct neglects public buy-in, an understanding of an alternative economy that could deliver inclusively for all, & be exemplary.
The electorate do not understand that Economic Growth & GDP as our measure of societal success has failed & will permanently fail future generations.
Where’s the marketing of a #wellbeingeconomy - the storytelling of positive future visions - for the electorate to readily buy-in to? Policy alone will not cut it.
