Planets #Jupiter and #Venus are about to kiss. Look up. They are getting closer. Whispering sweet words. There must be a poet amongst us who can conjure something in tribute? It’s grim in the news so a bit of Black Joy would be welcome. 🙏🏾

Yves Sakila. #Lynched. www.rte.ie/news/2026/05...

Mr Sakila didn’t just become passively unresponsive at the scene - the video shows multiple men restraining him on the ground with their body weight, including one who knelt and then with his hands pressed down in his neck. Truly disturbing footage www.thejournal.ie/yves-sakila-...

So wonderful to hear you are Mayor @zoegarbett.bsky.social. A lovely person who is knowledgeable, caring and who understands that diversity is not just about nature but is what makes a community.

Let's face it, I'm back on twitter, because that's where the news and journalists and everyone are and everything is happening. Sorry bsky. Anyway, I wrote this thing. t.co/EOeCxoUK2l

This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication. I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement. Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven. Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025. Here are 12 real wins 🏆, one for each month 🧵⬇️

NEW REPORT! ⛽Shell's Queensland gas business is funding science lessons for hundreds of thousands of students and teachers, via the Queensland Museum. Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

Open letter from over 1,000 UK scientists urging all MPs to attend the National Emergency Briefing. A huge list full of highly respected names. "Without much more urgent and decisive action, we risk seeing these impacts overwhelm our capacity to respond." Please share with your MP #NEB2025

The National Emergency Briefing @nebriefing.bsky.social in Westminster today is a call to action for politicians. @chrisgpackham.bsky.social started with “let’s work on creating hope, where there isn’t much of it left”

9/ #Sudan is regarded as one of the countries in the world most vulnerable to climate change. The rapidly changing #climate is causing worsening desertification across much of the region.

"What makes Sudan's crisis even more alarming is its invisibility. The world is not watching closely enough" The Sudanese civil war is creating the world's worst humanitarian disaster with 12 million people now displaced This 🧵traces the deep connections b/w this conflict & the #ClimateCrisis 1/n

Has anyone else been dealing with some serious headline whiplash recently? Even for those of us who follow #climate and #energy matters closely, it can be hard to know what the hell is going on! So here's a thread to help climate communicators get a grip on how to deal with this 🧵

After a painful week for British Jews, it feels hard to share new work. But as #Shabbat approaches so soon after the tears of Yom Kippor, @michaellomotey.bsky.social reminds us: ‘Shabbat is ... the greatest environmental move you could do.’ youtube.com/shorts/msU_I... Links in Bio #jewsky

As #Shabbat comes in, we hold onto stories of resilience and belonging. This week @michaellomotey.bsky.social shares his journey — Jewish, Ghanaian, Black, Yorkshire, British — carried together in faith, family and hope. youtube.com/shorts/msU_I... Shabbat Shalom Links in Bio #jewsky

As the world rapidly heads into #climate #overshoot I've noticed a disturbing pattern in journal articles recently. I'll summarize it quickly in this thread 🧵

🙌 ✊ I’ll let @michaellomotey.bsky.social’s slides do the talking! 💥 (see ALT text)

Our new season of urban stargazing events starts on Tuesday 16th September at 6.30pm. Introduction to Urban Stargazing including an exclusive walk into the reserve to identify constellations (weather permitting - we’ll still go out but be wary of cloud cover). www.wildlondon.org.uk/events/2025-...

@benmsanderson.bsky.social hi. FYI.

In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why The public discourse is not keeping up. Here's a series of 5 new studies that climate hawks & journos need to have on their radar 🧵

#ShabbatShalom y'all Had an amazing conversation with @michaellomotey.bsky.social for @whojewthinkur.bsky.social this morning and can't wait to share it with you. He's such a smart, open, and centred guest. But I'm gonna take his advice and rest this Shabbat!

Proud to be part of a BTO trio joining other scientist friends at @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social today, and also had a really useful chat with @terryjermymp.bsky.social. Now let's hope the people with the power to tackle the climate & nature emergencies get serious, and fast! #NoNatureNoFuture

I’ve just been to Parliament with @chrisgpackham.bsky.social Sir David King and over 100 scientists to demand politics listens to science on the climate and ecological emergency. @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

Starmer's Britain. Not even subtle.

Went to great online q&a with inspirational scientists @stucap.bsky.social @michaellomotey.bsky.social @dremilygrossman.bsky.social who take action against the bioclimate crisis. Watch this excellent film about scientist protesters fed up with govt ignoring the facts - youtu.be/cNvk-qFN2Ww 23 mins

I shall be there.

If scientists will not go to politics, then politics will come for science. Today, the UK sees huge wins for the far right party Reform, led by Nigel Farage who wishes to cut climate costs. 🧵/n
