"Due to dysfunction in the military procurement system, billions of pounds more have been wasted over the past sixteen years on cancelled contracts — while private contractors continue to profit."

The assault on science at US universities began long before the Trump administration.

It was built on decades of efforts by libertarian donor networks, fossil fuel companies and think tanks to reshape university governance and increase outside influence.

In an attempt to cover up AI’s outsized environmental impact and justify the ongoing use of fossil fuels, Big Tech and Big Oil are making the case for Carbon Capture and Storage.

CCS is an expensive failure. We must see through this self-serving greenwash…

From Yemen to Gaza, successive UK governments have found a way to keep arms sales flowing to Saudi Arabia & Israel - despite overwhelming evidence they were being used to violate International Humanitarian Law.

The system is rigged.

The US eliminated measles in 2000.

This year the country has already suffered the highest number of deaths from the virus since the 1990s.

After a campaign of disinformation from RFK Jr and others a quarter of Americans now have doubts about the vaccine. 🧪

While the CCC argues this will push the UK's legal obligation to reach 'net zero' by 2050 further out of reach, the UK is actually set to exceed its 'fair share' of emissions much sooner...
