It beggar's belief But BBC News has now removed today's big climate story from its front page I can find out about mouse droppings discovered at a gym up here in Derbyshire, but nothing at all about the last 3 years being the hottest on record Is this some sort of sick joke? www.bbc.co.uk/news

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse. 🙋We asked its customers what should happen next. 54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector. Read the full results here.

I knew Tory ministers could be cruel, unfeeling bastards. But the insouciance, even mockery, by Labour ministers towards people convicted of no crime, who are at imminent risk of death as a result of an unconscionable period on remand is on another level altogether. They are revelling in it.

Once you’ve labelled someone a terrorist, it seems, you can do almost anything to them and get away with it. The silence on this issue across almost all the media is something to behold.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Q. How do you know a government has undemocratic tendencies? A. It calls those who challenge it terrorists.

This is also what Yvette Cooper, when she was UK Home Secretary, said about #PalestineAction. If you knew the secret stuff I know, you'd agree with me that they're terrorists. It's the cheapest and basest way for a politician to malign someone, and a clear sign of a flailing, undemocratic state.

Two leading councillors have supported calls for delays to the decision on plans for gas drilling and lower-volume fracking in the North Yorkshire village of Burniston. But the company behind the scheme, Europa Oil & Gas, has said a delay is not justified. drillordrop.com/2026/01/07/c...

Thoughtful piece by my @science.nature.org colleague Rob et al. discussing the implications of global autocratization for science. We face a clear choice, they say: keep our heads down and hope to weather rough political waters...or choose to actively support academic freedom + sustainability.

So frightening. ‘The list covers a wide swath of organizations and groups, including 31 UN entities, such as UN Water, UN Oceans, UN Population Fund, and the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.’ These apparently ‘no longer serve American interests’.

Israel has destroyed the hospitals in Gaza that treated people with cancer, they block the cancer drugs from entering the strip, and they refuse to allow people with cancer to leave in order to get treatment. Israel doesn't just murder Palestinians with bombs & bullets

Outrageous. Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices. ✍🏼 - @adamramsay.bsky.social abolishwestminster.substack.com/p/revealed-o...

BankTrack is calling on Santander to: ❌ withdraw from Carbon Measures 🤲 support the GHG Protocol framework 🛢️ exclude financing for fossil fuel expansion 💪 and commit to strengthening, not undermining, global climate accountability.

Carbon Measures proposes a framework focused on direct emissions. Downstream emissions (Scope 3) are removed and the responsibility for them is moved to the end consumer. This fundamentally alters who is responsible for emissions. Pretty convenient for banks and oil companies. 🤔

@wealdactiongroup.bsky.social is considering legal action over methane emissions from onshore oil & gas sites. We've written to DESNZ and the Environment Agency. Depending on their response, we may bring a claim for judicial review. Read more ⬇️ www.wealdactiongroup.org.uk/2026/01/new-...

The campaign group which won a landmark Supreme Court ruling over the climate impact of onshore oil and gas has launched a new legal action over methane emissions from the industry. drillordrop.com/2026/01/05/c...

Managing methane is crucial for slowing climate breakdown. Yet current policy allows routine venting and flaring at onshore oil & gas sites. Regulators must end this, to align with rules for offshore sites – and require robust monitoring and reporting. www.wealdactiongroup.org.uk/2026/01/new-...

We have taken the first steps in a legal action over methane pollution from onshore oil and gas. Our lawyers have sent a formal letter to DESNZ and the Environment Agency about failures in the Methane Action Plan, and long-running weak regulation at oil sites such as Horndean in Sussex.

7 years after XR first called for urgent climate action, a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, and citizen-led decision-making, none of those demands has been met. While we’ve been failed by this in power who’ve approving new fossil fuel projects while restricting climate protest.

The UK just committed £22bn to carbon capture and storage – a tech with an 80% failure rate that lets oil & gas greenwash their emissions. At this CCS conference, most speakers repped fossil fuel companies. Share if you think it's absurd we're funding tech that protects fossil fuel profits 🙃
