Don’t know if you’ve seen this in today’s Grauniad?
It’s absolutely horrrendous & heartbreaking what the plundering US neoliberal profiteers are doing to the Gulf of Mexico and in poor Gulf states like Louisiana & Mississippi!

This conference from #GreenSoftwareFoundation is so frustrating to watch... They only talk about carbon emissions. They completely ignore the human cost! It's not just about #CO2 emissions! We're reaching the point where we're running out of resources. We're running out of petrol, rare metals (lithium, cobalt, etc) required to make batteries. We're running out of farmable land, which will cause a food crisis and famines.
