Is industrial food actually the villain — or one of humanity's greatest achievements? This week @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social co-author of Feed the People: Why Industrial Food is Good and How to Make it Even Better. 📗Book available today. 🎙️Ep available Thursday.

Does tech offer hope or false promise? This week @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by @adamdorr.bsky.social to explore the tech revolutions reshaping our world: energy (solar, wind, batteries), transportation (EVs & autonomous vehicles), food (precision fermentation), & labor (AI). 🎙️Ep linked below

MAJOR WIN FOR CLIMATE ACTION! We've halted the demolition of Tihange's cooling towers! Why it matters: ✅ Prevents irreversible destruction of billions in clean energy infrastructure ✅ Keeps the door open for restarting Tihange 1 & 2 ✅ Protects Belgium's energy security & climate goals

The world is electrifying and clean energy is leading the way! A new International Energy Agency report forecasted that electricity demand will continue to rise by roughly 3.5% annually as industry and transport are rapidly electrified, and developing countries increase access to electricity.

Yesterday, we joined MEPs, farmers, & industry leaders in Brussels to discuss Europe's food future. Protein diversification is an opportunity to create resilience while ensuring space for all producers. We're committed to supporting a just, science-based approach to Europe's food future.

Special episode 🎙️ Bad Idea #37 "1.5 degrees" @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by his co-authors Kwesi Quagraine & Erle Ellis to discuss their groundbreaking new paper published in Nature that proposes a complete rethinking of how we measure climate progress. 🎧 weplanet.org/podcast

Europe this morning has made another step towards evidence-based policy on modern plant science. This is a big win for farmers, consumers and our environment as it will allow more efficient crops to be grown across the EU. At WePlanet, we have been working towards this outcome for several years.

Nuclear energy construction has been too slow in the West and needs reform. But nuclear energy still remains a key technology for clean, reliable and affordable energy as we transition away from fossil fuels.

📢Press Release: WePlanet appeals against permit for demolition of Tihange 1 and 2 cooling towers This permit is an irreversible step with far-reaching consequences for climate policy, energy security and affordability. Full release: www.weplanet.org/post/weplane...

WePlanet is now part of the European Food Forum! The European Food Forum brings together policymakers, scientists, farmers, entrepreneurs, and civil society to ground Europe’s food debates in evidence. 1/2

Is it over for nuclear? As the renewables + batteries electro-tech clean energy revolution gathers pace, do we still need those hugely expensive giant reactors? Join me and Bryony Worthington for our Season 2 ender podcast episode... we went out with a bang! www.weplanet.org/podcast/epis...

Is nuclear power too slow, too expensive, or ... too essential to ignore? In this episode of Saving the World from Bad Ideas, @marklynas.bsky.social sits down with Baroness Bryony Worthington to take on Bad Idea #34: “Nuclear? No Thanks.” Listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts now!

Today the European Parliament votes on the censorship of common food names, like 'burger', for plant-based food. Vegi explains what's at stake one last time. #veggieburgerfreedom

334,919 Europeans are refusing to be treated as if they can't tell the difference between a plant-based burger and a beef burger. Tomorrow the European Parliament will vote on the censorship of plant-based food names. Today we presented our petition to MEP Anna Strolenberg.

EU politicians will decide on Wednesday whether to go ahead with the ban on words like burger and sausage for plant-based foods. That means we have one last chance to show how unpopular – and absurd – this policy is. Act now and see what you can do on savetheburger.org

Two years ago scientists across Europe demonstrated to give genes a chance to be in Europe's agriculture toolbox. This week it looks like the EU listened! So, we're cautiously celebrating. We are currently studying the text, but for now thank you Europe for giving genes a chance!

Is the food industry slowly killing us? In this week's episode of Saving the World from Bad Ideas, Mark Lynas sits down with Professor Sarah Berry to take on Bad Idea #33: “Ultra Processed Foods are killing us” Listen to it to wherever you get your podcasts!

Have thoughts on nuclear energy? The EU Commission is asking for YOUR input! 🫵 They're currently running a 'Call for Evidence' until December 4th. So, if you could spare some time, your arguments can help forward the development of clean energy in Europe 🇪🇺 A short thread 🧵

This weekend, WePlanet coordinated a protest against the closure of Doel-2 near Antwerp. The owner, French energy company Engie, wants to get rid of their nuclear assets as they'll be more profitable selling gas for the foreseeable future, to burn when renewables don't deliver. Don't stop me now!

The EAT-Lancet report shook things up in 2019 by putting food systems at the heart of climate and health. Now it’s back. The 2025 update sharpens the science, adjusts where needed, and adds a crucial layer: social justice. Our breakdown of the report. 👇

Is climate catastrophism actually a bad idea? 🌍 In my latest podcast, I talk with Ted Nordhaus (@Breakthrough Institute) about why apocalyptic climate narratives backfire — and how tech + prosperity can drive decarbonisation. Don't miss it! www.weplanet.org/podcast/epis...

🚨 European Parliament votes to ban ‘veggie burger’ & ‘plant-based sausage’. Today in Brussels, MEPs approved restrictions on common names like burger, steak, and sausage for plant-based foods (355 for, 247 against, 33 abstentions). Read our full statement 👇

The EU Parliament will vote tomorrow on whether it should be illegal to call this plant-based burger a 'burger.' This is madness. Everyone can tell the difference between a plant-based burger and a meat one. Sign the petition now: weplanet.yourmovement.org/p/noconfusio...

European consumers can tell the difference between meat & plant-based foods. Yet members of the EU Parliament will vote on whether to ban the use of terms like sausage or burger for plant-based foods? Act to stop this attack on consumer choice: weplanet.yourmovement.org/p/noconfusio...

Is green hydrogen the silver bullet for decarbonisation — or a trillion-dollar distraction? @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by energy analyst, investor, and podcaster @mliebreich.bsky.social to unpack Bad Idea #24: “We’ll just use Hydrogen!”

The EU wants to ban words like “burger” + “sausage” from plant-based foods. So get ready for “protein tubes” + “alternative discs.” 🙃 Nobody’s confused — except Brussels. Consumers + the planet deserve better. #NoConfusion substack.com/home/post/p-...

Next week the European Parliament will vote on whether to ban the use of terms like “burger,” “sausage,” and “steak” for plant-based foods. This would be nothing short of government engaging in cartel behaviour with the meat industry. Just 6 days to act: weplanet.yourmovement.org/p/noconfusio...

After 50yrs of service, Tihange 1 nuclear power plant will shutdown for the last time at midnight. The Belgian government, despite reversing their disastrous nuclear phase-out law, is allowing ENGIE to shutdown this vital clean energy infrastructure! Last night we sent a clear message!

🚨 Next week the EU votes on banning words like burger, sausage & chicken from plant-based foods. This is nothing short of government engaging in cartel behaviour with the meat industry right as we need to transition away from animal agriculture to fix the climate crisis. Act now!

I really enjoy the wide-ranging (and often provocative) conversations Mark Lynas has on his @weplanetint.bsky.social podcast. So I was very happy to join him again to talk more about climate change and what we do to fix it. www.weplanet.org/podcast/epis...

Saving the World from Bad Ideas, is back for season 2. @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by data scientists @hannahritchie.bsky.social. Together they bust pervasive climate myths by drawing from her new book Clearing the Air: The hopeful guide to solving climate change in 50 questions.

Global standardisation & deployment are how we have successfully brought down the cost & rollout time of other clean energy. We encourage government, industry & civil society groups to increase cooperation for the deployment of nuclear energy to address the climate crisis.
