"Asad Rehman, chief executive of Friends of the Earth, said:
“Kemi Badenoch’s desperate attempt to sound like Donald Trump on climate change is taking her party further away from the interests of future generations, businesses, and the needs of ordinary people.
"Millions of lives are already being ruined and nature is being pushed to the brink. An act of political vandalism of this scale will not be easily forgiven or forgotten."

Replacing Climate Change Act is political vandalism that would abandon future generations | Friends of the Earth
Kemi Badenoch’s plan to replace the Climate Change Act is anti-science, anti-business and turns its back on those at the sharp end of climate breakdown now and future generations, says Friends of the Earth.

How I Became a Populist
My time at the Federal Trade Commission—before Donald Trump fired me—totally changed the way I see our political divide.

In the runup to #COP30, our friends at the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology are co-sponsoring this important event on science, spirituality, and ethics as they pertain to #climatechange.

For my birthday today… I deleted the Facebook account I created in September to access Marketplace. It served its purpose. I was going to sell other things but never got around to it. Then friends started requesting to be friends. It was awkward. I didn’t accept any requests and even made one post on my profile that I wouldn’t be friending anyone.. that it was only for Marketplace. People still requested…
Then a colleague/friend passed away and I missed an RSVP because someone sent me the message on FB rather than real life even though we weren’t FB connected and hadn’t communicated on there for years. This is what happens when people treat FB like the entirety of “the internet” and “communication”. I have a website with my name and phone! My address is not hard to search. Email!?
I was angry and sad about that. 😢
So ya… if I do the Marketplace thing again I’ll just make a temp account and delete it after use, like a single use plastic bag to pick up dog poop. 💩 🤣
In the meantime I’ll keep focusing on good people here on the #opensocialweb… and also connecting with people in real life.
Most of the 48 years I have spent on this earth have been without Facebook. I’ll manage :)
