UPDATE : Nos révélations deviennent une affaire d’État. Les journalistes de @franceinfo ont enquêté et leurs investigations révèlent que l’affaire est plus grave encore que ce que nous avons identifié. THREAD 🧵

🚨Pillage des eaux africaines par la France, transfuge public-privé, collusion entre l’État et les lobbies industriels, destruction environnementale... nous révélons avec @anticor_org une affaire explosive et gravissime. Tenez-vous bien, c'est démentiel. RT sans retenue. 🧵

It is immoral for oil & gas companies to be making record profits from the current energy crisis on the backs of the poorest, at a massive cost to the climate. I urge all governments to tax these excessive profits & use the funds to support the most vulnerable people.

We know it's not always plain sailing at sea, but O2 was built to handle the roughest of weather, so we're still pumping out the #tidalpower 😲😃🌊⚡💚

Lors du reportage que j'ai pu faire en Islande, sur l'une des lignes de front du changement climatique, j'ai été très marquée par ce mémorial au sommet du volcan Ok, où a disparu le glacier Okjökull. Cela donne des frissons lemonde.fr/planete/article/2…

Letting millions get infected instead of keeping basic public health measures in place for a couple more months until the vaccination roll out is complete, is a terrible plan.

In all the time that @allthecitizens has been broadcasting @IndependentSage’s weekly briefings, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the scientists express such utter disbelief We are embarking on a massive herd immunity experiment. We are truly stepping into the unknown. Please watch.

A turbine installation that is super quick AND super low cost is an amazing milestone for O2. Great job Orbital & @leaskmarine crews on a safe and successful install of the worlds most powerful #tidalenergy turbine. 👍👏

"Currently only 9% of engineers in the UK are women, which completely baffles me." Orbital's Lorna Slater makes the case for why more women should think about getting into #marinerenewables and why it's a fantastic industry to be in: bit.ly/3jxDFaW
