Urgent call to stop promoting pollution on London’s transport system. By @andrewsimms.bsky.social theecologist.org/2025/nov/06/...

Can we really offset our way out of climate breakdown?

By me for @theecologist.org: Carbon credits 'a free pass for polluters' Can we really offset our way out of the climate crisis? theecologist.org/2025/nov/05/...

Hurricane Melissa has caused catastrophic flash floods and landslides, and has claimed lives across the Caribbean

Watery ecologies, cultures and economies are closely linked – and are often affected by inequality and oppression in inextricable ways.

Humanity could become “too distracted by climate chaos to focus fully on climate action”.

We've missed the window to stop 1.5°C of warming. What next?

Rewilding the rivers after infrastructure leaves salmon populations stranded for decades

Coral reefs are being bleached out of existence for good.

Our democracy grew up alongside industrialisation and global capitalism as all part of the same system of class domination.

Forests purify and cool air for the world’s physical health, store carbon, and cache water, interdependent systems we cannot afford to let decline.

Who are the financiers bankrolling big fossil fuel projects?

He has been captive for thirty-three years: for more than twenty he has lived entirely alone.

Top story this week @theecologist.org: Banking on rainforest destruction. COP30 countdown: the banks financing the Amazon’s oil addiction. theecologist.org/2025/oct/23/...

“Large factory ships now plunder the ocean as if it were a bottomless pit of profit”

Who are the financiers bankrolling big fossil fuel projects?

“We need to stop the drilling. If not, we won't keep living. From the North Sea's Rosebank oil field to Greenland and the USA, we must keep it in the ground.”

In August, a tropical storm in São Vicente and Santo Antão brought more than a year’s worth of rain in less than five hours; wiping out infrastructure and costing lives

Vast tracts of land could become wild again.

The damming of the rivers with their spawning grounds left the population entirely reliant on fish stocked from hatcheries, totally removing any wild populations

“Sepsis research is still dominated by cruel experiments on animals that fail to deliver results for human patients.”

MPs have called for the UK to back an outright ban in its waters, and to work to halt the practice completely worldwide.

The flow of finance into oil and gas extraction across the Amazon shows no signs of slowing

“Trump wants us packing salt into the wounds of our planet to benefit him and his billionaire mates.”

Climate chaos is battering infrastructure and eroding resilience

Whose party is it anyway?

Their child members have campaigned for rights of refugees and asylum seekers, and against the invasion of Iraq.

More frequent extreme heat has crept into the lives of Britons, and we are beginning to see the realities of climate change quite literally in our back gardens.

The world has reached its first climate tipping point as global warming causes widespread diebacks of warm-water coral reefs

2/x Thesis: Emissions trading is & has always been complete bullshit, & is more akin to "creative accounting" than climate action. Confirmation: "Nissan is to team up with BYD in an attempt to offset their carbon emissions & avoid EU penalties for 2025."

Everything is a distraction from this.

Climate impacts will 'get in the way of action to tackle the underlying problem'. theecologist.org/2025/oct/28/...

Starting Oct 2025, China requires online influencers to have verified professional qualifications before discussing sensitive topics such as medicine, law, finance, or education. Influencers must show formal training or a relevant degree to post on major platforms like Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili.

What might it teach us about ourselves, our world, where we’ve come from and where we’re headed? @maryannochota.bsky.social discusses how we can act to repair the harm, and proceed with curiosity, humility and care. #archaeology #anthropology #history #wellbeing

"Our preconceptions are often challenged when we engage with people cross-culturally. What might we discover if we turn that same curiosity to the ancient past?" theecologist.org/2025/oct/27/...

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI. But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Nature struggles to cope in our rapidly changing climate – but we can, and must, intervene. theecologist.org/2025/oct/24/...

@theecologist.org digs into which banks are financing destructive oil and gas financing in the Amazon in the lead up to #COP30. $2+ billion in new financing deals since 2024 to expand fossil fuels in one of the most critical ecosystems on the planet. #greensky theecologist.org/2025/oct/23/...

"There is no doubt that her role as a defender of the environment and the territory made her a target”

“Large factory ships now plunder the ocean as if it were a bottomless pit of profit.”

Depleted soils, dry seasons and bad harvests are driving up the cost of basic foodstuffs

Brace yourselves

The University of Kent pledges to sepsis experiments on animals

Time to bring the lives of animals into the heart of decisions about designing the future

A trawler net can “scrape away the existence of all life in its path”.
