After a bit of a run of hen names - We have a sponsor for our first Rooster 🐓

When hatched, and reared, he shall be dubbed: "Mr. Chicken"

He'll be fancy. I just know it. Gunna have to get him muscular arms 3-d printed for the content.
If you want to sponsor a chicken by picking its name, and help me set up my little urban farming project near #Glasgow - then please get in contact for details of how.
Names take so far:

Roosters: Mr Chicken

Hens: Skeoch, Samhentha, Siobhen, Cherri Littlebottom.

📢 LEAK: Nächste Woche am 15.12. entscheidet die @KfW bei ihrer Verwaltungsratssitzung über neue Finanzierungs-Leitlinien u.a. für #Öl- und #Gas-Projekte. Darin verabschiedet sie sich vom 1,5 Grad-Ziel und vom #Glasgow-Statement. Thread (1/8). @Umwelthilfe @urgewald
First things first: Ganz explizit möchte die @KfW zeitlich befristet Projekte auch dann finanzieren, "wenn sie nicht kompatibel mit einem 1,5 Grad-Pfad sind." Und: "In dem Ausnahmezeitraum wird die Begrenzung auf 1,5 Grad-kompatible Zusagen ausgesetzt." (2/x)
Das ist starker Tobak. Gehen wir die Leitlinie einmal systematisch durch. Begründet werden die Ausnahmen zunächst wie alle fossilen Projekte in dieser Zeit: Mit dem Ersatz russischer Energielieferungen. (3/x)

1/12. 📜It’s week two of #COP27 and things are heating up! We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce some new language on #LossAndDamage finance that we are going to start using to support developing countries and would encourage others to do the same. Image
2/12.We've been following the discussions on “matters relating to funding arrangements responding to #LossAndDamage associated with the adverse impacts of #ClimateChange, including a focus on addressing #LossAndDamage” which we are calling funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage.
3/12. At #COP26 in #Glasgow, the G77 and China called for the establishment of the Glasgow #LossAndDamage Finance Facility. In support of this demand, civil society has been calling for a #LossAndDamageFinance facility ever since.

As part of this year’s #SmallBiz100 campaign, every Friday during the campaign I’ll be posting about my personal favourite small businesses from the #Southside of #Glasgow. Welcome to #PolkaDotBusinessLove part 9! 1/4
This week we’re talking music 🎵

I’m recommending a local guitar pedal-builder (and my partner) ABL Pedals (@AngusTheGreat) and Glasgow’s coolest record shop, @SGR_RecordCafe. 2/4 Image
@AngusTheGreat @SGR_RecordCafe What do I love about ABL Pedals?

1) @AngusTheGreat has great designs;
2) Sustainable approach with the repair service;
3) Not many local guitar pedal builders around

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Pendant des mois, l'administration #Biden a observé avec inquiétude #Poutine masser des dizaines de milliers de soldats le long de la frontière ukrainienne.

Le @washingtonpost livre un récit passionnant des mois qui ont précédé l'attaque.

Oct. 2021, les responsables du renseignement, de l'armée et de la diplomatie US se rendent à la Maison-Blanche pour une réunion urgente, munis de renseignements hautement confidentiels, compilés à partir d'images satellites, de communications interceptées et de sources humaines.
Sur des chevalets, le Gen. Milley montre, à l'aide de cartes, les positions des troupes 🇷🇺 et le territoire ukrainien qu'elles ont l'intention de conquérir. Il s'agit d'un "plan d'une audace stupéfiante" qui pourrait constituer une menace directe pour le flanc oriental de l'OTAN.

1/Rand Paul was PA born, TX raised, and groomed to take a Kentuckians job. KY elected Paul to the US Senate in 2011. Before passing a single piece of legislation to benefit Kentuckians, Senator Paul used his position to run for President in 2016. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #Kentucky
2/#Rand Paul pretends to live in Kentucky. The average home 🏡 size in KY is 1,750 sq. ft. He really lives in 6,000 sq. ft. Pittsburgh luxury villa with 6 Bedrooms, 5 baths and a pool. #Paulsnot4KY #Kentucky @winchestersun #fancyfarm
3/Rand Paul was never a Kentucky Wildcat, Cardinal, Hilltopper, or Colonel. Paul paid tuition to be a Duke Blue Devil with Christian Laettner. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #BBN #GoCards @WKUSports #GoBigE #waddy

In the follow up to the #ParisAgreement – UNCC Conference Glasgow (2021), #India did not sign the #Glasgow Declaration on Forests and Land Use. It has been endorsed by 141 countries covering over 90% of forests in the world. 1/5

A thread @TheLeaflet_in

theleaflet.in/india-will-fai…
The declaration aims to halt & reverse forest loss by 2030. Beyond its role in #mitigating climate change, forests also conservatively support the livelihood of 275 million (27.5 crore) people, and have one of the world’s most important #biodiversity hotspots. 2n
#ClimateJustice
India’s forests are continuously disappearing. Between 2017 and 2020, 72,673.03 hectares (726 square km) of forest land has been recommended for diversion. Another recent study showed that India has lost 122,748 hectares of prime forest in four years. 3n

The absolutely inhumane and incompetent practices of @ukhomeoffice have ruined my academics and mental health. I was supposed to be in #Glasgow to attend @UofGlasgow @UofGEngineering for semester 2 but my visa was refused.
The refusal wouldn't have hurt if u had genuinely made some mistake. But i had meticulously checked every detail and made sure that I had included all the required documents.
So, I had applied for priority visa through @VFSGlobal on 16th November, 2021 spending around Rs. 1,23,000 (~1230 GBP) and completed my biometrics on 22nd Nov hoping to get a decision within 5 days. I recieved this follow up email on 24th. Note the [insert relevant mailbox]

1/2 Just a quick one - Twitter is amazing for getting a message out and helping it get to the people it needs to. I'm hoping people can help with this.

I've got a few empty flats over Xmas/NY in Glasgow which are available free for those escaping domestic violence or homeless.
2/2 They are furnished and in the West End/City Centre.

I'm happy to provide food and clothing as well. There's just no sense on these places being empty and people having nowhere to go.

#Homeless #DomesticViolence #HumanityFirst #Glasgow Image
Immensely grateful to all of you - inside an hour tonight you've managed to help someone get a place already from 27th December. The spirit shown by everyone is massively humbling.

I still have a couple more places available.

Le @hc_climat s’est autosaisi pour formuler un avis et des recommandations sur les implications pour la #France des décisions prises à la @COP26
à #Glasgow. Petit résumé ⬇️
On commence par le bilan de la COP 26 :
➡️1. La COP26 a démontré que l’Accord de Paris est pleinement opérant et constitue désormais le cadre de référence des négociations internationales sur le climat. 👍
➡️2. La COP26 a finalisé les règles de mise en œuvre de l’Accord de Paris, et a permis de rehausser les contributions nationales tel que prévu à l’Accord cinq ans après son adoption, sur la base d’une confiance renforcée entre les parties 👍

.@vonderleyen und die EU-Kommission wollen die #Atomenergie als nachhaltig einstufen. Warum das die Vorbereitung eines Rechtsbruchs und Zielen nachhaltiger Entwicklung widerspricht: 1/7
Sowohl durch den Uranabbau, als etwa auch durch die Gefahr schwerer Unfälle während des Betriebs sowie die ungelöste Endlagerfrage steht Atomenergienutzung den Nachhaltigkeits-Kriterien der Taxonomie-Verordnung entgegen. 2/7
Eine solche Einordnung wäre anfechtbar und sollte als solche auch gerichtlich angefochten werden. 3/7

#Thread #Cop26 Die Weltgemeinschaft hat die Ernsthaftigkeit der #Klimakrise und die Notwendigkeit für Sofortmaßnahmen hier in #Glasgow zum ersten Mal klar benannt. Das Ende der fossilen Energieträger kommt näher⬇️
#COP26 Doch auf Druck der Öl-, Gas und Kohleindustrien vermissen die Beschlüsse nach wie vor Klarheit und Geschwindigkeit und wurden von Indien und China am Schluss nochmal verwässert⬇️
#COP26 Um die globale Temperatur noch unter 1,5 Grad zu stabilisieren und @ParisAgreement einzuhalten liegt nun in den Händen der Regierungen, die bereit sind, Verantwortung zu übernehmen⬇️

#Glasgow at night, tonight,I.E. Sunday. #cop26 had a day off today, it’s only one. Today it will return to its business, i.e. saving the world from human nature, this time with the participation of ministers from all over the world. ImageImageImage
It was a beautiful clear and still night tonight, nothing like Saturday which was windy with a cold westerly blowing in off the Atlantic.

The standard of musicianship in Scotland is out standing. A couple more clips. Here’s a Who cover.
