Brilliant from @kevinclimate.bsky.social as always - making abundantly clear the inconvenient truth this Govt is forever trying to duck & dodge: expanding aviation capacity is fundamentally incompatible with the UK’s climate obligations

Gatwick expansion blows another huge hole in the UK Government's already perforated climate commitments. New article on Gatwick expansion with my @tyndallcentre.bsky.social colleague Dr Lois Pennington @loispennington.bsky.social climateuncensored.com/gatwick-expa...

Wtf is this headline!! Killed by whom, ghosts????

Re the final sentence bsky.app/profile/keta...

Currently, people pay NO TAX on plane fuel. This makes it cheaper than trains. There are consequences to flying, mainly the air/noise pollution for people living around airports & those who are flooded, burnt, starve, or forced to flee from climate change. Labour are shit @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Is air pollution keeping you awake at night? New international review from Johns Hopkins University identifies #airpollution as a contributor to poor sleep. Piece by me. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I have made a film that could be just what we need: ‘Fires and Fascism’ The causes of wildfires in southern Europe extend beyond climate change. They link to big business, organised crime, and the far right. The cure: community. @mrjamesob.bsky.social would you be happy to watch and support? 1/4

The summer is over - and for about 16,600 people across 854 European cities that doesn't mean autumn comes, but death. People who would still be alive if it wasn't for our burning of fossil fuels. - New study with @lshtm.bsky.social www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...

My new documentary Fires and Fascism shows growing wildfires are more than just an effect of climate change. It shows they’re linked to big business, organised crime, and the far right. Read my piece about it here: felixonline.co.uk/articles/fir... Screening dates: fires-and-fascism.co.uk

So 10yrs after @arusbridger.bsky.social launched the #KeepItInTheGround campaign & 6yrs after @katharineviner.bsky.social's #climate pledge The @theguardian.com finance editor @nilspratley.bsky.social is still writing apologetics for the fossil fuel industry!!! Here's a short 🧵on how dumb this is!

With both wildfires and the far right surging, I am excited to show my new documentary: “Fires and Fascism” at the ‘world premiere’ in a lecture hall at Imperial College this evening with @naturerecovery.bsky.social To watch the film, please see the info here: www.fires-and-fascism.co.uk

'This country needs migrants' Zack Polanski, the new leader of the Green Party in England and Wales, speaks to #BBCBreakfast about his views on immigration

I'm organising a screening of fires-and-fascism.co.uk in my local community in #Bridport #Dorset - I'd encourage all #CommunityEnergy and local @greenparty.org.uk groups to do the same. 5/

On that last point (how #CommunityEnergy is a "huge part" of, and is "essential to fight off the challenge of the right") see also this great new #Fires and #Fascism film by @peteknapp.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOLY... 4/

Who would have thought the Conservatives’ pro-oil narratives came alongside huge ‘donations’ from oil companies?

Romance (and fascism) is in the air!

How to keep track of the many wildfires that Europe is battling this year? These public and free-to-use sources provide insight into fire activity and the damage left behind...

fires-and-fascism.co.uk FIRES AND FASCISM is a documentary due for release at the end of 2025. It aims to link the increasing wildfires of Europe with past fascism, big business, crime, and the rise of the far right. by @peteknapp.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOLY...

I can fully attest to the quality of Pete's work - both as a scientist and as a communicator. I can't wait to see his film - if you want to too, then get in touch with him + your local Indi cinema 👇🔥

Wildfires are breaking records this year and the far right are also rising. Are they linked? I have just finished making a 59-min documentary called Fires and Fascism that explores these links Would your local cinema be interested in showing it? Reply to this with their name and I’ll message them

Cars don’t kill people. Drivers do. Poor headline from the BBC that removes the driver from the picture, which is all too familiar, sadly. @fuckcarsreddit.bsky.social @kentonline.co.uk

I usually support the @metoffice.gov.uk but sometimes they get the tone totally wrong. Celebrating ‘enhanced sunsets’ due to wildfires ravaging Spain and Portugal, rather than issuing health warnings from air pollution and expressing concern for the lives of those affected… it’s a bit dystopian.

Could this be why the UK has seen an increase in particulate air pollution over the past few days?

The weekly food market at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social now has a wood burning pizza oven 😬😬😬 What health consequences are there? Why is Imperial ignoring its own research on the harms of wood smoke by the ERG, @drgaryfuller.bsky.social and @imperialbrc.bsky.social?

If the BBC was doing its job, it would note in its coverage of Reform that 92% of the party's donations come from the fossil fuel industry.

Imperial Zero Index is a “rigourous” new framework they have rolled out “to assess which companies have a strategic commitment to decarbonisation, and are taking concrete steps towards operationalising that commitment” Does this mean they will finally say no to toxic industries? 1/n

Just heard that the University of Heidelberg @uniheidelberg.bsky.social has gone for fully plant-based catering! A huge win for student-led Plant-based Unis. With 33 Nobel Prize winners, Heidelberg is one of the most prestigious unis in the world, will @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social follow?

As wildfires burn in Greece and Turkey amidst record temperatures, guess which fossil-fuelled TV channel has a history of denying the role of climate change… 😖
