What I call climate 'appeasement' - the idea that climate breakdown isn't actually going to be that bad - is growing fast, and presents as great a threat as climate denial Climate appeasers denigrate reality as alarmism, so fostering inertia and inaction We are in deep, deep, sh*t - fact

There is no private insurance market willing to underwrite #nuclear risk in full. Not accidents, not waste, not abandonment, not war, not institutional failure, not the passage of centuries.

We just kicked off the People’s Climate Conference, a series of events on climate change in our Purple Houses across Israel. We heard from former MKs, researchers, and activists about confronting climate change – and how it intersects with the struggle for peace. (1/3)

Hanukkah is about holding onto light during the darkest part of the year. Thank you @ifnotnowmovement.org for inviting me to celebrate resilience, community, and hope with you all. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful last night of Hanukkah. May it be a lighter year ahead.

To everyone flying today for a weekend away: we hope you have an amazing holiday. *And* we really hope that next time you'll consider different travel options that are fairer & kinder to the world. (The two sentiments aren't mutually exclusive!)

I believe film can spark change 🎬 I am beginning to track protest cinema, radical storytelling & movies that move people to action. If you’re into film, follow me on Letterboxd for reviews & lists:

MAKE ETHICS A THING AGAIN

Read this feature on Standing Together and our National Co-Director Alon-Lee Green: It dives deep into the history of the movement, what gives us hope despite immense challenges, and how we’re moving forward after the most difficult two years we can remember.

“Humans will leave an endless sea of trash behind them even if they disappear, because this is what you do when you party like there’s no tomorrow. And this is why there won’t be a tomorrow” open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

The dirty scrubbers green-wash hiding crimes of dirty business included Barclays, who were branded “totally dishonest” after calling tens of billions of dollars for fossil fuel companies “sustainable finance”. ⚠️65 biggest banks committed $7,900,000,000,000 over 9 years to the fossil fuel industry.

Good to see this Depriving our young people of the opportunity to travel their continent was a classic example of shooting ourselves in the foot

I will be attending the lighting of the first candle on the eve of Chunukah tonight at Bristol's college green, next to Ciy Hall. If you are in Bristol, come and join us. 🥲 Heavy security assured->massive rise in global anti-semitism.

Old growth forests are irreplaceable. And now we're being told that the pollution on the air is so great that trees are struggling to absorb it all. Planting trees to offset our emissions isn't the magic fix airlines hope it is. Time for all of us to step up and go flight free.

A robust comprehensive Health Impact Assessment would stop this toxic infrastructure in its tracks.

For planetary and human health, #PopulationMatters

The richest 10% control 94% of total capital-ownership assets in the United States. They determine how to use our labour and resources, what we produce, and how our surplus is deployed. They determine the direction of our civilization. It is the antithesis of democracy.

This is down to us all. Government and city action is vital. And so is personal responsibility. #ActNow

Two thirds all electricity fed into Germany’s public grid between July and September 2025 came from #Renewables 98.3 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), wind turbines, solar panels and other renewables = 64.1% of electricity mix. reneweconomy.com.au/renewables-d...

'Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential' www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

Amazing sky as storm Bram sweeps over Bristol. (dramatic afternoon up on the #allotment!)

A new study in Eco Research Comms finds 99% of humanity is exposed to at least one violation of our basic environmental rights. Clean air. Safe water. A liveable climate. It's all being destroyed.

Study after study now says the quiet part out loud: Human civilisation is under threat! 99% of us breathe unsafe air, drink unsafe water, or live in an unsafe climate. Nearly half face three or more threats at once. And still our "leaders" expand fossil fuels.

Offsets are like a smoker paying a healthy person to go for a run, then claiming they’ve reduced their risk of cancer. The healthy person gains some benefit. The smoker gains nothing. And cancer rates don’t change. apple.news/AGbRqsgfcQWa...

“Humans may appear to be in charge of this supermarket disguised as a civilisation, but they are mere props in a movie where, as the plot thickens, the main cast disappears and society is replaced by algorithms”

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus
