"Straight from the playbook of tobacco". The Stove Industry Association has been pressuring councils to tone down their public health campaigns, telling them they were exploring options for potential legal action. This stinks even more than the burning they promote. #WoodBurning #AirPollution

I just watched @peteknapp.bsky.social's AMAZING film, Fires and Fascism. It's a detailed, well-researched, and personal reflection from people living through wildfires across the Mediterranean, and the link with the rise of the far right. If you're in the UK, go see it! fires-and-fascism.co.uk

Watched fires-and-fascism.co.uk by the wonderful Dr @peteknapp.bsky.social this evening. Very richly packed film and very he was very generous with his time afterwards. It did show an ugly elegance of revolving capitalism when times are good(ish) and authoritarianism when times are bad while the

Despite the Crown Prosecution Service saying "nobody is above the law", the jurors gave a unanimous verdict that the six medics who broke JP Morgan's glass were NOT GUILTY! This is extremely important at a time when the war on activism is squeezing us into submission. This gives me hope and courage

Go see this film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “It’s a tremendous piece of work” “A powerful, thought provoking and inspirational film” “Many, many people need to see this” “It’s your first film, and yet still better than most #climate documentaries I’ve seen!”

You may’ve seen coverage of a new report on the threat to national security from environmental collapse. A common response that’s got my goat is: “Look, it’s not just tree-hugging enviros saying this, it’s hard-nosed spooks!” A short thread on why this framing is bad history & bad politics🧵😡😉

"The climate doesn’t recognise pragmatism. If we want to effect meaningful change, we act as the climate science demands. Anything less is a waste of time" 123 days to go @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @matthewtodd.bsky.social @rogerhallam.com @juststopoil.bsky.social @scientistsforxr.earth

It's not hypocrisy, it's capitalism. The bizarre behaviour of Western states and leaders often seems to betray a moral double standard. But in fact it is all perfectly consistent with a single standard, namely, the objective of maintaining the conditions for capital accumulation in the core.

Some of us talk a lot about the connection between climate change and the rise of the far right. But Pete has made a whole film about it. Check out Fires and Fascism.

See this if you can, an eye opener on how wildfires are used to ferment hate and how answers can lie in traditional, small-scale, land management. Love for each other and the land both vital.

Jan and Feb tour dates for my film 'Fires and Fascism' announced! I’ll be attending each screening in person for a discussion afterwards about community, what might be drawing people towards Reform, and sharing ideas about what to do next. Trailer and tickets: fires-and-fascism.co.uk
