The govt is ignoring scientists' warnings about carbon capture. Take action now: 👉Join the #ScrapCarbonCapture webinar on Weds: eventbrite.co.uk/e/not-a-solu... 👉Write to your MP: action.zerohour.uk/carboncapture 👉Read Dr Andrew Boswell's guest blog: www.fuelpovertyaction.org.uk/the-264-bill...

Super cool initiative to bring climate science to everyday people, from the brilliant team at @climatescibreak.bsky.social 👏💪💚🌍

This is absolutely shocking news. Gas-linked Carbon Capture actually INCREASES emissions. Our government are either wilfully ignoring this and are set on destroying our planet for short-term gain, or have been taken in by the lies of the fossil fuel lobbyists. 😭 We need @zero-hour.bsky.social now.

I’m really looking forward to this! It’s on zoom and if you can’t afford the ticket price you can join for free! Great talks lined up from @fisherdanar.bsky.social @kuminaidoo.bsky.social @ghostpanther.bsky.social @annpettifor.bsky.social @kateraworth.bsky.social @tzeporah.bsky.social and more. 💪🌍💚

Really important campaign to educate and inform MPs and the public why we absolutely cannot rely on Carbon Capture to mitigate against the devastating damage we’re doing to our planet. Please take 5 minutes to write to your MP now asking them to Scrap Carbon Capture: scrapcc.org/CCS-ACTION-BS1

Also: Scientists need to step up. Comment from @chrisgpackham.bsky.social on the @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social rally outside Parliament

Very pleased to join over 100 scientists incl @dremilygrossman.bsky.social @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @paulbehrens.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social talking to MPs yesterday. Spoke to two MPs on the new #ScrapCarbonCapture campaign (see: tinyurl.com/CCS-CAMPAIGN) WATCH: tinyurl.com/SCI-TIK

“As parliament debated the controversial climate & nature bill to remove protections for the UK’s natural environment, scientists gathered in Parliament Square. This followed a stark warning from the UK’s Climate Change Committee that the country was “not prepared” for the impacts of climate change”

Want to know THE most effective thing you can do today to help bring meaningful action on the climate and nature crisis? Email your MP to ask them to sign the Climate and Nature Bill’s Early Day Motion! Follow the link below, it’s super easy & takes less than 5 mins. Please help spread the word!

Absolutely extraordinary day yesterday w/ @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @robinince.bsky.social Sir David King @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @zero-hour.bsky.social @sioldridge.bsky.social @rowhoop.bsky.social &more. Still processing it. More pics & reflections to follow. @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

We did it!!

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

A sea of lab coats outside Parliament today As scientists asked politicians to listen to the science and act rapidly to combat the nature & ecological emergencies #ActOnFacts #ScientistsForSurvival @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

Bring science to politics!

💯 😢

Wise words from the brilliant @katharinehayhoe.com - some simple ideas for how we can take action. And if you’re a scientist in London today, please come join me, @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and 150+ scientists in Parliament Square at noon to urge the UK government to bring science to politics 💪🥼🌍

😢

Important event!

Anyone free?

"It’s not going to be noisy. It’s not going to be naughty. We’re not going to be throwing anything, gluing anything, or shouting about anything... We’re asking them for an opportunity to tell them the truth, so they can act upon that truth." Who will join us? Tomorrow 12pm, Parliament Square 🥼💚🌍

Science news: Science professionals will gather outside Parliament to urge that government policy be informed by science.

For those in London 🇬🇧⬇️

💚

This is huge news! Let’s make sure it doesn’t get kept behind closed doors too!

Do you want our government to be doing more to address the Climate and Nature Crisis? Signing this open letter is one of THE most effective things you can do to help - and it takes literally 30 seconds. Please add your name ✍️ And please help spread the word 🙏 #ClimateAndNatureBill #CANBill

I've got a crazy day on Tuesday but am still really hoping to put in an appearance - please come too 🧪

Come on scientists! If you have a postgrad education in any scientific discipline or have ever worked in a scientific profession please join us in Parliament Square on Tues at 12pm to rally for evidence-based science-informed policy! The more of us there, the more likely we’ll be listened to! 💪🥼🌍

To all scientists in the UK or Greater London: Stand up and speak out for science-based policy! Water, air, and land - for our future hand in hand!

Calling all scientists / science postgrads! Can you spare even just half an hour next Tuesday at 12pm to join Chris Packham & 100+ scientists to urge that science shall inform government policy? docs.google.com/document/d/... via @dremilygrossman.bsky.social

if you're in the area (London), this looks like a good way to make sure people understand the importance of science.

Politicians need to act on the lastest unbiased scientific advice, not on papers funded by lobbyists. They need to act on the causes of our current challenges, not tinker with the effects. I can't make t to London that day, but I will be there in spirit!

Am going to try and get to this on Tuesday

If you're in the UK, try to get to this - on Tuesday!

💚

An important event – go if you can! It's more important than ever that governments everywhere listen to and act on science.

This is such an important demonstration by scientists to pressure the government to be informed by, and act on, science. If you are a natural or social scientist who wants to see a government acting on science, please come and show your support next week on 13th of May, at Parliament Square

Looking forward to joining with hundreds of scientists next Tuesday I will be talking about my new campaign supported by @campaigncc.bsky.social, @mpwatch.bsky.social, & @zero-hour.bsky.social demanding Govt applies science to Carbon Capture policy Watch out for more 👉 tinyurl.com/CCS-CAMPAIGN

This looks like a really important initiative exploring how to strengthen public trust in climate science. Please do spare 10 mins to fill in the survey if you can - and please help spread the word. 🙏

Calling all scientists, science postgrads & anyone who’s ever worked in a scientific discipline! Can you spare even just half an hour next Tues 12pm to join me, Chris Packham & 100+ scientists to urge for government policy to be informed by science? Let’s fill Parliament Square with scientists! 💪
