Scientists warn we’re nearing a climate point of no return Politicians & corporations won’t act unless the pressure changes Hope is in protest & collective action. Together we must change the national conversation before tipping points lock in a hothouse Earth www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

NEW: NSO tried to hijack the Pall Mall Process to whitewash their reputation in the midst of ongoing Pegasus abuses. France & UK govs leading the process say: "Not so fast!" Submitting comments ≠ participation/compliance! By @suzannesmalley.bsky.social therecord.media/spyware-make...

We urgently need a parliamentary debate on Palantir. Please sign this & share with your network. Via @the-citizens.bsky.social & @change.org. www.change.org/p/hold-a-par...

Palantir’s stated mission is to defend America. Peter Thiel is a radical libertarian who does not believe ‘freedom & democracy are compatible’. Yet, the UK is overwhelmingly dependent on Palantir’s services. As a national security threat, this is off the charts. @thenerve.news 2/

Brits: you are nowhere near frightened enough of what's happening in the US right now and what UK politicians are promising with the help of Palantir and friends. From @ markmcposts on IG.

Europe’s water reserves are drying up - freshwater storage shrinking across S & central Europe, & parts of UK Satellite data on changes in gravitational field show changes in available water as it's heavy Climate breakdown can be seen in the data say scientists www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“The entire financial system, including government bonds and mortgages, is premised on the idea that tomorrow will look something like today. In a world that’s 3 degrees warmer, it assuredly will not.”

Voices in the Global South say that AI computing (whose producers remain principally in the Global North) is evolving as a new form of extractive colonialism. Some Indigenous people say it is time to question limitless technological innovation with its heavy environmental and social costs.

Today feels like a good day to remind everyone that there is literally no empirical evidence that economic growth will just continue if the world heats up to, say, 3°C by 2100. Continued growth is just *assumed* in every economic model of the relationship between temperatures and growth. 🧵

Important thread. "I don't think many folks, apparently including Gates & advisors, appreciate just how radically transformed a 2.5-3C warmer world would be." Indeed that is the key problem. They don't get it. But whenever we try to state it clearly, it's dismissed as alarmist. Catch 22.

“Derailment can result from climate impacts, like how worsening disasters…sap resources [for adaptation]…lead[ing] to more expensive disasters. Derailment can also result from the consequences of climate action, like how the impacts of green policies can be exploited…to drive a political backlash.”

🥳🎉 “This is a major step forward. It’s a relief to see the Court recognise... that new oil and gas fields threaten our most basic human rights. Requiring governments to assess the global #climate consequences of oil &gas combustion before approving new fossil projects is common sense,& long overdue"

Can’t think of any possible historical parallels at all involving starving your own populace…

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"...for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withhold—labor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer support—and to follow through if demands aren’t met." Glad to have gotten the opportunity to push this line in Time time.com/collections/...

When a collaborator is targeted because her scientific findings that attribute extreme weather to human-caused climate change is being used (effectively) in climate lawsuits against oil companies, you know times are dark indeed. ICYMI @davidho.bsky.social www.eenews.net/articles/cli...

“Oil companies may seem invincible but they are more vulnerable than you think” says climate justice litigator Melinda Janki Watch here: www.ted.com/talks/melind...

Securing access to minerals essential for the green transition will in the 21st century will be a resource curse, just like fossil fuels were in the 20th Century. Steve Rushton reports on the new mineral curse in our latest blog. ccccjustice.org/2025/09/25/m...

Each year >$550billion is invested in oil & gas. 90% of that is just to offset natural declines. If it were to stop, tight oil & shale gas production would decrease 35% within 12 months. We could be on track for Paris Agreement. What is stopping us? www.technosphere.earth/fossil-fuels...

They are literally canceling culture

See what you did there, Yvette Cooper & @teamlabouruk.bsky.social? Start proscribing protest groups you don’t like as “terrorists” in the UK… …And you encourage authoritarian governments to crack down on their own Is this what you think exporting British democratic values around the world means?

this this is ugly energy

Today we launch a major new report that reveals how British investors profit from the destruction of the third largest rainforest in the world, in West Papua. Those investors are implicated in a brutal campaign of political repression. Read the report here 👇👇👇 ccccjustice.org/publications/

“At 3C or more of heating by 2050, there could be more than 4 billion deaths, significant sociopolitical fragmentation worldwide, failure of states (with resulting rapid, enduring, and significant loss of capital), extinction events… there was no realistic plan in place to avoid this scenario”

Yesterday the police raided the houses of our close colleagues in Defend Our Juries. They are facing very serious charges just for protesting against a genocide. We demand their immediate release. Read our statement here 👇👇 ccccjustice.org/2025/09/03/e...

End the Genocide now End the Occupation now Isolate Israel

So this is what we call DEMOCRACY in the UK in 2025 Citizens with a CONSCIENCE arrested for calling out the UK Government’s authoritarian crackdown on a civil society group opposing Israel committing the international crime of GENOCIDE All while our Government openly supports a GENOCIDE !

People have embraced authoritarianism in large part because they've been sold individualistic explanations for social problems. If you think people are poor or unhoused because they've made "bad choices," then you'll see appeal in authoritarian leaders who promise to punish those who are "bad."

For this type of egregious SLAPP (strategic litigation against public participation), imho “Marzulla Law LLC” should be reported to their regulator for further investigation

For thousands of years, we have been parasitised, exploited and destroyed by elites. Our survival depends on overthrowing them. Fascinating article by @dpcarrington.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The ARAP scheme data breach has dominated debate in the Commons, the headlines and our new enquiries line in the last few days - if you or someone you know has been affected, here’s some helpful info from our Media and Information law team: www.bindmans.com/news-insight...

Lots of focus right now is (very rightly) on the use - and length of - the super-injunction. But this data breach is a sobering reminder of the extent to which gov botched the 2021 evacuation from Kabul and the impacts of it having done so. www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/afgh...

“Israeli forces and American security personnel have killed no fewer than 829 Palestinians and wounded around 5,500 others in less than two months near aid distribution points” Where are the sanctions on the US and Israel from the international community?

Rather than place sanctions on those slaughtering babies on an industrial scale, those calling out are sanctioned. We are witnessing the utterly unthinkable, and the consequences will endure far into the future. share.google/EuCluGNbBiLa...

A spokesperson for the trust said a number of contributing factors led to the patient's death including "a long wait for a blood test result". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There is no justification whatsoever for the US or UK to provide any support, material or diplomatic, for Israel's attack on Iran. It is a war of aggression, clearly contrary to international law.

Monika Sobiecki and Eduard Zelinschi have written an article for the Centre for Climate Crime and Climate Justice. They discuss how the legal profession is increasingly grappling with the ethical predicaments posed by the climate and ecological crisis. ccccjustice.org/2025/05/26/r...

I spent a day last January with biologists Dan Janzen + Winnie Hallwachs in Costa Rica. They told me that, even in the most pristine forests, insects, the basis of ecosystems, are rapidly dying off due to climate collapse. The death rattle of a living planet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up. Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food. Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.

The legal profession is grappling with the ethical predicaments posed by the climate and ecological crisis. Lawyers are asking how they refuse work that contributes to climate breakdown. Reas our latest blog from Eduard Zelinschi and Monika Sobiecki here: ccccjustice.org/2025/05/26/r...
