How about we end the year in style? See you there! 💚🎄

Israel has killed at least 400 Palestinians and injured over 1,100 others since the ceasefire began in October.

In the last 7 days, 300 million people have flown from UK airports. Today let's imagine a future where we put all our human creativity and intelligence to use in service of life and the natural world 🌎

A nice healthy economy for the wellbeing of all... 😢

💯 agree with this recommendation whether you are inside or outside the US. Watch this NOW! There is at least 3 more years of this ahead if not more. Be informed. Reference is made to the Anti-Autocracy Handbook see zenodo.org/records/1569... Read it!

XR's first demand: "Tell the truth!" "Despite the UK having a net zero target for more than 6 years, public understanding remains disappointing. Awareness of the term is high (around 90%), but actual knowledge is low: around 50% say they knew a little, hardly anything or nothing at all about it."

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

2025 is on track to be the UK’s hottest year on record, according to the Met Office, "beating the previous record set in 2022. All five of the UK’s hottest years have occurred since 2000, as the UN prepares to announce new global temperature figures." Jim Dale, Senior Meteorologist on LBC News.

Thanks to all that shared and contributed - they reached their initial target last night! The stretch target is still in play so please do what you can do spread the word. These fine folks face serious risk of being imprisoned for a considerable amount of time, such is the state of UK protest law.

The government is proposing to drop its restrictions on the designation of certain types of protected land as 'grey belt', removing a layer of protection from developers. What you need to know ⬇️

The data already showed facial recognition technology is racially biased. But police deploying the technology they knew was biased is even more alarming. This is exactly why strong safeguards are urgently needed.

Israel has approved 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, a move that further entrenches illegal occupation and fuels deadly Israeli military raids and escalating settler attacks across Palestinian communities.

The six hunger strikers have launched legal action against ‘justice’ secretary, with a ‘letter before action’ for a formal judicial review of the government’s treatment of the ‘Filton 24’ protesters jailed for more than 18 months without trial

This is a tragedy of UK Gov's making. "More than 800 healthcare professionals... expressing grave concern” "... David Lammy appeared to have no knowledge of the strike." “[no] hunger striker has received an adequate medical check-up, says NHS doctor" app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/71917/...

Have you also asked an AI chatbot about climate and found the answer to be quite good? Maybe that is because it was you who asked. Some AI (e.g. Grok) tailors their response to suit your beliefs. It’s called ‘AI sycophancy’ (a new word I just learned.) globalwitness.org/en/campaigns...

"Killing our wildlife for fun is no longer acceptable" @chrisgpackham.bsky.social on the govts newly announced animal welfare strategy #GMB

Their demands are reasonable, their treatment is disgraceful. The government's intransigence is killing the #PalestineAction hunger strikers. Just as its complicity has assisted the genocide in Gaza. It needs to wake up right now to the moral consequences. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Happy Winter Solstice, where we celebrate the returning of the light, on the shortest day and longest night. On the solstice, when the land feels closest to its oldest stories, we’re reminded how much of England’s past remains out of reach.

Thanks for highlighting this. It’s worth also flagging that beyond the immediate £22bn allocated, the Gov expects the total cost of #CCS to 2050 to run to many hundreds of billions. Partly public, partly private - but all paid by us. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/11/r...

Protest is not a privilege – it’s our fundamental right. But the Government’s Crime and Policing Bill will give police powers to shut down protests and criminalise people for taking to the streets. JOIN US in opposing this: https://secure.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/180398/action/1

The UK just committed £22bn to carbon capture and storage – a tech with an 80% failure rate that lets oil & gas greenwash their emissions. At this CCS conference, most speakers repped fossil fuel companies. Share if you think it's absurd we're funding tech that protects fossil fuel profits 🙃

This is more powerful than any school poetry class or church sermon I endured in childhood in 1990s Cambridge. (I still haven’t forgiven John Major’s Government because I can hold a teenage-era grudge like the elephant that never forgets! (I think it’s a neurodiversity thing))

Some proposed climate “solutions” just don’t stack up against an objective, evidence-based perspective. That’s why the Drawdown Explorer calls these “Not Recommended” climate solutions.

Chile is to create a 150,000 hectare national park at 'the edge of the world', with forests, peatlands, glaciers, and coastline. Protecting wilderness is by far the best weapon we have against ecological collapse. share.google/QqQvdJDwY5Mt...
