This really is quite something. In the 15 years @carbonbrief.org have tracked UK media, 2025 was first ever year where more newspaper editorials opposed #climate action than supported it. Meanwhile, the *actual* climate crisis deepens by the month. Go figure.

It’s obvious that almost all media organizations are failing to cover the biggest threat to humanity. And there’s no improvement in sight. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #climatecrisis

🌎 The world's first ever conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels concluded yesterday in #SantaMarta, Colombia with a clear message: 📢 Countries calling for a fossil fuel phase-out are no longer fringe, they are the future. 📢 1/6

“There's now a small but very real risk of 4°C by the end of the century. The prospects of three and four degrees centigrade of warming are absolutely dire" Professor Kevin Anderson. This is a stark warning about the #climatecrisis and the radical change needed in our lives to avert catastrophe.

"Nature is critical national infrastructure. When we destroy it, we increase floods, heat deaths, food insecurity and economic instability. When we restore it, we reduce risk, save lives and strengthen the economy." Professor Nathalie Seddon. Time to act on the #climatecrisis #UK. #Emergencybriefing

@carbonbrief.org @daisydunne.carbonbrief.org thanks for raising awareness of progressive leadership in fossil fuel transition following #COP30 in #Brasil I doubt this would make main stream media, but on a day #Earth Day no less that renewables overtook coal power, time to be hopeful, and positive.

The question we should be asking is not whether alignment with EU standards to cut red tape and allow farmers to sell to Europe is a betrayal, but why British fruit and veg continues to be treated with ‘toxic’ pesticides which are linked to infertility & cancer. www.thetimes.com/article/2069...

A quick note re the UKs water pollution problem - per C4s Dirty Business. It’s a broken system: Water companies are putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal & we need to pressure the Government to take action now!

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m.... Great listening to @brambuscher.bsky.social deconstruct the challenges faced by environmental activists in a post truth world. Definitely worth a listen. #climatecrisis #politics #capitalism #environment #change #convivialconservation

I think it is AMAZING that a post about the symptoms of climate change (Rapid Snow Melt in the West) gets 570 likes/reposts, but a list of actions that EVERYONE can take gets just 30 likes/reposts. Seems people want to complain about the problem, but very few want to take personal responsibility.😞

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’d forgotten about Bluesky until just now. Like opening a window on a sunny Spring morning I take a deep breath and I’m back in the moment. Thanks everyone. Stay positive.

I’m not promoting the face responsible for fuelling discontent explored in this prescient article. I’m sharing the views of the author that in spite of the rhetoric we live in a great country. Read:Violent, lawless, broken Britain?The facts tell a different story www.thetimes.co.uk/article/viol...

Take time to read Dr Luke Kemp’s timely and brilliant analysis of where we are going wrong as the human race - and why democracy, equality and importantly defiance might save us. And of course: Don’t be a dick! #politics #Tech #Crime

New research finds that trade is impacting biodiversity much more than previously thought. This is why consumption matters. “international trade has caused more than 90% of loss that occurred between 1995 & 2022 due to conversion of natural areas into agricultural land” phys.org/news/2024-12...

Don’t ignore the facts: What is the real toll of natural and climate disasters? Research has the staggering answers.
