Antarctic Sea Ice loss could be a tipping point after all. A new paper investigating the likely return of sea ice following CO2 removal shows that under some circumstances, the sea ice does not return. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... #antarctica #seaice #tippingpoint #stratification

"If it were not clear already, the biggest far-right protest in UK history is a reminder that the battle for a fair and habitable planet cannot be fought solely in the silos of science or environmentalism." shorturl.at/NKQTL

VICTORY: citing "lack of evidence", prosecutors have dropped the trial against the Drax 15. They never had a case, but they kept defendants waiting for a year to somehow justify an astonishing £3 million police operation. This is yet another example of the repression of protest rights in Britain

We are hearing rumours that some CCA folks went for an early morning stroll in Liverpool today. And just look at who are now urging MPs at #LabourPartyConference to #StopRosebank 😁

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1/ The Wild Bird Indicators, using BTO data, have been updated today by Defra! ⬇️ Sadly, the ‘all bird species’ index, comprising the population trends of 130 species, has been in a slow continuous decline in the UK since the 1970s, down by 18% and by 4% in the last five years. 📉 #Ornithology

We had an incredible time marching with you all at the #MakeThemPay rally this weekend. The super-rich, fossil fuel companies & big corporations profit while our communities are pushed deeper into poverty. It needs to end now. Take action: secure.waronwant.org/page/175504/...

Make. Them. Pay! On Saturday, we brought together thousands of people and hundreds of organisations to demand a better future for us all. Check out our video 👇 And sign up to our mailing list to get involved in what comes next 👉 makethempay.org.uk/get-involved

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Activists have climbed England’s LARGEST gas power station to demand lower energy bills 🚨 (1/4)

ICYMI last night in Marseille: www.youtube.com/shor... Background heating: 12-month running mean (Sep 2024-Aug 2025) +1.52°C above preindustrial. We are *firmly* on track to cross 2°C of heating. We are utterly unprepared. #ClimateCrisis

Across the political spectrum, people are calling for protest rights to be protected. Together we must resist laws that silence dissent - and stand up for freedoms that underpin our democracy.

In case anyone still doesn't know: Drax gets *perverse* subsidies. It's greenwashed as sustainable yet is anything but: www.clientearth.org/projects/the... And it wants more subsidies! See webinar hosted this Thursday by the excellent @biofuelwatch.bsky.social: actionnetwork.org/events/the-e...

A hate-driven agenda stoked by some in the media, social media companies and politicians has fuelled violence, intimidation and division. The UK government must protect our human rights and the laws that underpin them - not undermine them. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I’ve said it before and will say it again— anyone who says climate change is not relevant to people’s day-to-day lives is either lying or simply not paying attention

Humanity "on track to produce 500% more coal 31% more oil 92% more gas in 2030 than the level required to adhere to the 1.5°C warming limit" says @sei.org / productiongap.org "The quotation said "the world" but I prefer to say "humanity". Other species in the world didn't contribute!"

The #ProductionGap grew since the last analysis in 2023. Planned #FossilFuel production in 2030 is projected to hit 120% the level needed to hold to the 1.5°C warming limit and 77% more than that needed to keep to 2°C (over 2023’s findings of 110% and 69%, respectively).

Recognition is no doubt significant but it will be a hollow gesture if the UK does not also seek to end Israel's genocide, illegal occupation, and system of apartheid against the Palestinian people. 🧵1/3

Farage’s policies are a moral abomination and I will fight them with every fibre of my being. We must build a popular front against the rise of fascism in Britain that spans parties and communities. bsky.app/profile/shoa...

"The more than 1.5 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide humans have emitted into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution are expected to cause enough warming to disrupt this long-term glacial cycle." www.newscientist.com/article/2470...

Those who’ve made trillions from destroying the climate must foot the bill for the damage they’ve caused. The economy should work for the people who keep the country running, not corporations and billionaires. #MakeThemPay #SystemChangeNotClimateChange #ExtinctionRebellion @makethempay.bsky.social

...Whilst a new report shows that globally, plans to extract more fossil fuels are increasing rather than decreasing - thus going against Paris agreement, etc. shorturl.at/xLECO ...and the UK government has just approved expanding Gatwick airport www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The juxtaposition this morning of a report showing planned fossil fuel production through to 2030 is far in excess of that needed to stop warming spiralling above 2C and the UK government approving Gatwick expansion is quite the thing.

Disaster for the planet, for local residents and for wildlife as Gatwick second runway is approved. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

This is in line with the govt's commitment to climate action, in much the same way me eating a massive fucking cake every day is in line with my commitment to lose weight. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've just received 👇 Prof Lenton, a top expert in climate change & earth system science - and friend of XR - promotes powerful positive tipping points, incl. the adoption of more plant-based diets. It's essential, it's win-win-win, and could easily spread by social contagion. Let's make it happen?

Climate warming could cause much greater soil carbon losses in the tropics than previously predicted, with potentially dire consequences for the global climate, according to a new study published in Nature Communications.

"Antifa" is a state of mind and a willingness to act against fascism along the spectrum from incredibly mildly to defensive physical activism. It is amorphous, without a structure or organisation. An idea, incorporeal. Creating an 'enemy' is classic fascism.

The economic losses from climate chaos caused at ~1.5ºC are coming into sharp focus. This is looking at the situation in Europe. There is a 97% certainty we will pass 2ºC (UNEP, 2024) and at the current heating rate of ~0.3ºC/decade this will be reached in ~17 years. www.eea.europa.eu/en...
