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/...

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.

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...

Police and federal agencies have found a controversial new way to skirt the growing patchwork of laws that curb how they use facial recognition: an AI model that can track people using attributes like body size, gender, hair color and style, clothing, and accessories.

Israel has announced Gaza's survivors will be driven into a concentration camp. They will be left with a choice: leave Gaza, or die. No genocide was so documented or confessed to as it actually happened 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/gaza-will-...

Why would the Tony Blair Institute possibly want to promulgate a report suggesting that “any strategy based on either ‘phasing out’ fossil fuels in the short term or limiting consumption is a strategy doomed to fail”? Oh
