This is a really good (and important) article. Worth a read.

Hard to know which is more shocking - the dire warnings of the potential collapse of our food system in the UK or the fact that governments have tried to cover it up. Their complacency is off the scale. We urgently need to switch to growing more food domestically & to restore nature now

The phrase 'Climate Change Denial' needs to go. It's not denial and saying it is let's those involved off much too lightly. Climate Change Disinformation is better - it's a calculated plan to deceive and confuse in order to benefit financially and politically. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Definitely legit. 😂

As a proposed oil & gas project looks set to drill directly through a chalk aquifer beneath the Yorkshire Wolds supplying drinking water to 900,000 people, @sonofedd.bsky.social asks: Who is protecting our water sources? yorkshirebylines.co.uk/region/who-i...

This would be the biggest win for society and environment.

Climate, Pollution and Politics - why have we made so little progress in responding to climate change? If, like me, you would like to know then you might be interested in this: kumu.io/alex-morriso... With thanks to @kumu.io for the tooling and @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for the original insight.

How about nationalised AI? What is to stop the UK government (or any other) from setting up an AI company to provide public service to the nation. Given that intelligence is now another utility like water or electricity, why not make it a public good.

Even if global warming was not such a pressing issue, renewables are not only more affordable and less price-volatile than single-use fossile fuels, they also increase a country’s resilience in armed conflict. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Facial recognition in smart glasses to dox people? Yeah, a bunch of us warned shit like this was going to happen, and it's going to enable some really bad shit. We need to fundamentally reconsider what constitutes "public" and "private" in our society, and we need to have done it several years ago.

NASA Reports Record Global Heat - But Omits Reference To Climate Change "The US government is now, like Russia and Saudi Arabia, a petrostate under Trump and Republican rule" says @michaelemann.bsky.social #climatecrisis HT @carbonbrief.org www.barrons.com/news/nasa-ac...

It's inefficient, doesn't do what it says on the box, and "the vast majority of captured CO2 has been used to extract more fossil fuels" via 'Enhanced Oil Recovery' - using the CO2 to dislodge more oil from depleting fields, potentially resulting in a net increase in total emissions.

a study spanning multiple continents involving 50+ co-authors has found that the oceans added a record amount of heat in 2025—the energy equivalent of 12 atomic bombs going off in the ocean, one of the authors told me it's the eighth year in a row that the oceans have broken heat records like this

Hi @evernote.bsky.social Templates should be a great feature of the Evernote UX but instead they are super clunky and under-powered. I've just spent 15 minutes exploring and have yet to produce a single useful result. The build your own template feature seems to be completely broken. #UX #Evernote

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 🙃

A new United Nations report shows the gap between climate targets and climate policies is narrowing, but not fast enough to avert catastrophic warming of more than 2 degrees Celsius.

The amazing research article "The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink" isn't getting enough notice, so I made a little video with the summary of key findings from the paper. If it's too fast at times, just pause and read. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

A new report on the state of the world’s oceans paints a grim picture. The ninth annual Copernicus Ocean State Report finds “No part of the ocean is untouched by the triple planetary crisis, as pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change are putting pressure on the ocean worldwide.”

An @Age-Uk.bsky.social report shows healthy life expectancy has fallen by 2 years. Good food, warm homes and active and purposeful lives are out of reach for far too many in the UK — and it is a matter of emergency. #PublicHealth | #HealthJustice
