“Project 2029 is only the latest example of a lobby group funded by dark money putting out rightwing talking points under the guise of education. It’s time for the Charity Commission to stamp out partisan propaganda outfits abusing their status as charities.” https://goodlaw.social/hgtk

At a 3 degrees warming (expected in my kids lifetime without urgent action) we expect half of all insect species to lose more than half of their current habitable range (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We won't just miss their uzzzzz. We need pollinators for our food. @nebriefing.bsky.social

Got to be honest, loosening sanctions on Russia before we’ve even tried any basic demand-side measures is not filling me with pride or joy

I think you forgot "and climate crisis" BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... www.carbonbrief.org/five-charts-...

200 attendees - not the usual 'bubble' 1st Conservative MP to support a national TV emergency briefing on climate & nature crisis & solutions 10 people offering to host screenings Everyone get to a @nebriefing.bsky.social screening, and/or organise one. www.ilkleygazette.co.uk/news/2611707...

Rising renewables limit gas and its price-setting role in #Britain’s wholesale power market 🔒💷 When gas is at its lowest, wholesale prices fall ☔ In 2025, 📉 hours with gas <20% of the mix averaged £60/MWh, VS 📈 hours with gas >50% averaged £130/MWh ember-energy.org/lat...

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Whilst the UN is developing a road map for single use plastic, people are trying to sell ( and give away) what as far as I can tell are sachets of flavoured water for your cat. There are times when I think humanity definitely doesnt deserve this planet we call home.

Is my local Eatate Agent offering help to those of us concerned by economic impacts of the Reform party?! ( it's reform of landlord rules...)

Great to see Ilkley Gazette covering our @nebriefing.bsky.social screening on Friday evening at Ilkley Grammar School. All welcome. www.ilkleygazette.co.uk/news/2608708... @ilkleychat.bsky.social @cleanilkley.bsky.social

You can get to a high-warming world without high emissions . That's the part of this week's "RCP 8.5 is implausible" discussion that's getting missed. A short thread on why the relief is premature 🧵

"The UK has avoided the need for gas imports worth £1.7bn since the start of the Iran war, as a result of record electricity generation from wind and solar..."

Poor reporting from @theguardian.com @dpcarrington.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... suggesting UK and Norway fields are comparable www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-ni...

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Wow, evidence that a well-placed scientific presentation with good graphs *can* make a difference.

Great to see my friend and South Devon Primary cofounder Anthea Simmons feature in this article. She's out on high streets and market places every weekend - and more - tirelessly challenging Reform's false narratives and finding common ground, in between editing @westcountryvoices.bsky.social

First Ilkley screening of @nebriefing.bsky.social film on Fri 15th May at Ilkley Grammar School with Climate Action Ilkley. MP is attending. All welcome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaI-...

Sea-level rise one important component of a global climate change risk assessment. www.nature.com/articles/d41..., policymakers might "neglect the possibility that parts of large cities such as London, New York City or Mumbai might have to be abandoned" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

Top experts at the National Emergency Briefing to MPs warned climate impacts are hitting the UK faster – and harder – than expected. Now that briefing is being shown in communities nationwide. Learn more and find your nearest screening ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Brexit not identified as a factor here, www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... but assume it still is? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Here’s a great podcast episode on the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, what it means for us and how to report on it, with my oceanographer colleague Willem Huiskamp @willemh.bsky.social ! 🌊 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

BBC seem to have missed an important word from this headline (something like "undisclosed"). This would not be a story now if it was disclosed, and I don't think the fact it wasn't disclosed is up for debate. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

According to the Lebanese National News Agency, these panels supply the town with electricity, which is needed for its water supply, and Israel destroyed homes, roads and olive trees as well.

Warming water affecting fisheries but a missed opportunity for BBC to state sea-level rise threat - article already points out "The highest point above sea level in Kiribati ... is two metres." There are no non-radical futures now @markpoynting.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Worth a read www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

Could the 'People's Emergency Briefing' be the key that unlocks a mass response to the #ClimateCrisis? @nowthenmag.bsky.social spoke to @richsulley.bsky.social to find out the motivations behind hosting the live film screening. Read here ⬇️ tinyurl.com/ymhs7mhp @nebriefing.bsky.social #PEBuk

In 1970, 20m Americans took part in the first Earth Day. Within years the US created - EPA, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act & more. Public pressure works. This Earth Day let’s take to the seats, not the streets to watch the People’s Emergency Briefing 👇 www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Communities are watching the People’s Emergency Briefing and discussing what to do next with neighbours and MPs #EarthDay Screenings www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

Good to see BBC report this . What it doesnt do is communicate implications, what it does to snowpack, drought risks, food, water. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And, despite being briefly on Radio-4 Today programme, new news on AMOC risk is not even on BBC news climate tab (which is no longer a visible tab by default). The ultra rich have their ways to influence the BBC

Fighting for fossil fuels and aginst renewavles is now doing Putins work for him.

Renewable energy has overtaken coal to become the world’s largest source of electricity in 2025, according to thinktank Ember. In this video, Carbon Brief’s @mollylempriere.carbonbrief.org reports on Ember’s analysis. Read the full report here ➡️ buff.ly/XtaYP1D

Had another planning meeting for the Ilkley screening last night. Should be a fantastic event - filling up, a great range of local groups and MP signed up. Great film. Check the @nebriefing.bsky.social website for screenings, and think if you can setup a screening - or help an existing one.

Good to see this clearly stating limits to our food supplies, "it must be acknowledged that there are the profound barriers & limits to adaptation", "there are also ‘hard’ physiological and ecological limits that no amount of adaptation can surmount." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Can't see why this isn't reported on bbc news website? @markpoynting.bsky.social

Fantastic interview. Well worth a listen. MPs were warned of this risk at the @nebriefing.bsky.social , but most didn't go. See if there is an @nebriefing.bsky.social screening near you. Ask you MP to go

Still silence from bbc news on this story I think?!

A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol

A reminder, the security services advised Theresa May Johnson was a security risk before she appointed him Foreign Secretary, they advised against giving Lebedev a peerage, he got one, Johnson misled (lied to you and me) about what he knew about Pincher when he made him Deputy Chief Whip.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... also has in big bold font "The hidden cost of clean power" before later in small font "While the cost of renewables plays a part, the principal driver for this [price increases] is, ironically, gas itself." without showing a figure like this @markpoynting.bsky.social

Shocking that BBC article www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... doesn't mention recent CCC report "Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock" ​https://www.theccc.org.uk/2026/03/11/cost-of-net-zero-by-2050-less-than-a-single-fossil-fuel-price-shock-ccc/ @markpoynting.bsky.social

We need politicians and the public to uderstand the full urgency of the climate crisis. And the fact the solutions are there. Supporting the @nebriefing.bsky.social is a good start www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Looking forward to Ilkley screening in May!

I'd been wanting a good analysis on what the alternatives are to gas setting price of electricity. As usual @carbonbrief.org has the answer www.carbonbrief.org/qa-why-does-...
