If/when #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) shuts down and it may have already passed a tipping point, it will be a global event. “Scientists predict an ocean swell that would flood the entire Eastern coast of the United States, and a disastrous disruption of tropical monsoons” 2/2

🚨Whitehall flooded with darkness today as XRUK say A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE #TheNationalEmergencyBriefing warned of climate threat to our food security and infrastructure yet #Labour have reopened the door on #Rosebank. 💚1.5 is dead but humanity is not. Will you walk with us and rebel for life?

7 years after XR first called for urgent climate action, a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, and citizen-led decision-making, none of those demands has been met. While we’ve been failed by this in power who’ve approving new fossil fuel projects while restricting climate protest.

This trend is alarming, as it not only undermines democratic freedoms but also hinders urgent climate action, highlighting the need for strengthened protections for environmental activists.

Uni of Bristol study finds repression of climate & environmental protest is growing with new legislation, novel uses of existing legal processes, police actions, vilifying activists, violence & killings. Repression will likely expand & intensify as authoritarian regimes roll back climate policies

We (@crossdale.bsky.social, Christina Pantazis, @roxana-pessoa.bsky.social, Tiê Franco Brotto and I) present the first academic peer-reviewed article, studying the criminalisation and repression of climate and environmental protest as a global phenomenon. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Young people are risking their lives for Palestine. Qesser Zuhrah is on day 46 of hunger strike, is very sick and literally dying. HMP Bronzefield is currently denying her an ambulance. Call them 0178442560 and demand an ambulance for Qesser. If you are near the prison, join the people outside it.

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

Protesters have been outside HMP Bronzefield since this morning, demanding an ambulance for Qesser Zuhrah, a 20-year-old in critical condition after day 46 of hunger strike. Police have: ‼️lied about an ambulance being called ‼️arrested a Black NHS doctor ‼️assaulted numerous people

Six young people, all aged 30 or under, have been held in abhorrent conditions despite not being convicted of any crime. They have reportedly been kept in solitary confinement and subjected to “psychological torture”. And when ordinary people stand up against it they’re met with police brutality.

🚉 On December 12th at 8PM, 13 pyjama parties took place in European train stations, following invitations by @back-on-track.eu and @staygroundednet.bsky.social. 💃The gathered groups silently danced to a dedicated playlist, celebrating night trains by swinging in their best night attire. 1/3

Our Energy from Waste solution only ensures that we recycle by burning plastics. This puts particulates into the Enviroment and ensures profits for the manufacturers like #INEOS It’s time we built proper infrastructure that turns plastic waste back into clean plastic, circular not linear recycling.

Today, 200+ activists from XR & SR are disrupting the Masters Expo (formerly Millionnaire Fair) in the RAI. Our message: the super-rich cost too much. Time for redistribution of wealth and a fair tax on their wealth. [1/3]”

Salisbury's 'Red Rebels' were out today for our 'SANTA IS AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE' action. Passers-by were asked to make a pledge to a child in their life to provide a more sustainable future – for a free mince pie!

It's ridiculous that the Government *still* haven't banned the sale of peat. Peat bogs are still getting dug up and used for compost and in horticulture. Ministers say they'll ban it 'when time allows'. Get on with it already! Sign the petition: actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

Londoncentric's investigation into untreated #sewage - including human waste, wet wipes & fungus - flowing from misconnected properties into London waterways. Misconnections occur when toilets, showers, sinks, washing machines etc are illegally plumbed into sewers meant for rainwater #WaterPollution

What if Thames Water aren’t always the baddies when it comes to sewage in London rivers? It’s hard to comprehend, so in April I challenged @rachel-rees.bsky.social to find a single example of a misconnection and chase it to the Thames. It became an epic quest: www.londoncentric.media/p/misconnect...

This is the weirdest company. Millenarianist nut jobs drilling for oil where there isn’t any.

Why have we seen such repression of climate activists around the world? Because activists were so successful in changing the narrative around fossil fuels

Ben van Beurden CEO of Shell in 2017: “If we are not careful, broader public support for the sector will wane. “This is the biggest challenge we have at the moment as a company ... the fact that societal acceptance of the energy system as we have it is just disappearing"

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four. I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation. 🧵

Remember those plastic “bio beads” that washed up on the beaches? These pellets have now been found to contain heavy metals, including lead, arsenic and cadmium. Poisonous to wildlife ☠️ #southernwater www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Today, December 13, we are at the door of the Masters Expo together with @scientistrebellion.nl—because “greatness” has little to do with even more yachts and champagne. We protest for climate justice, a fair capital limit and investments in healthcare, housing and climate. Join us!”
