Love this 👏👏👏 "Equinor, Equinor, we don't want your dirty oil no more" "Labour, Labour, you could be a life sa-a-ver." Sing along folks #StopRosebank

From cradle to grave, fossil fuels are making us sick. 🛑 This landmark report reveals the health toll at every stage of their life cycle—and why a just transition can’t wait. 🚨 Global Launch | 16 Sept @gchalliance.bsky.social Register >> bit.ly/C2GLaunch

Beautiful #Dungarvan good to be home 💚

Truly historic ruling that confirms governments and corporations have a legal duty to prevent further harm from fossil fuels, uphold the right to health, and safeguard future generations.

In 100 days the Government will deliver its climate plan - there's been a lot of talk, we need to start seeing some action - a clear plan and targets. And it needs to be bold. There's been way too much time wasted, this is a chance to really demonstrate action. Pleased to add my name to this letter.

#UK Parliament has a historic chance today: 🛑Ban fossil fuel ads. & sponsorship➕Protect public health! Doctors & health orgs from 5 continents are calling for action #BreakTheFossilInfluence @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @drelainemulcahy.bsky.social @jvipondmd.bsky.social @docsenvaus.bsky.social

Absolutely loved helping to plant this gorgeous rowan tree (although Lucy from @rcpch.bsky.social did pretty much all the digging and actual planting). Looking forward to visiting and watching it grow.

Pleased to see new gov guidance for oil&gas projects now requires companies to include emissions from burning oil&gas in environmental impact assessments. Bonkers they have NOT doing this until now, but great to see a positive move from the UK gov on this 👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Air pollution is costing more than £500m a week in ill health, NHS care and productivity losses, with 99% of the population breathing in toxic air doctors have said. Important report from @rcphysicians.bsky.social on #CleanAirDay Gov needs to act on clean air www.theguardian.com/environment/...

49% of NHS workers say services have already been disrupted by extreme weather. Our report lays out the actions needed across the UK to adapt our health systems to climate change. Inaction is not an option if we truly want an NHS fit for the future. ukhealthalliance.org/sustainable-...

The pathway set out by @thecccuk.bsky.social is deliverable, but we need to see some action. Done well it will achieve health benefits with cleaner air, cheaper fuel, better transport, and more nutritious diets.

What a day, big mountains, blue skies, beautiful Scotland. Good for the soul #benmore #stobbinnein

Very grateful for the opportunity to present at British Society of Lifestyle Medicine earth day event today and share the huge positive opportunities for transitioning to a clean energy system and nutritious, plant-based sustainable diets to protect our health and our planet. 🍃

In a word, insulation in UK homes is crap When we get 40C for a week rather than a day - as in 2022 - millions will be camping in the streets because their homes, and especially flats, will be unlivable A massive insulation programme is needed NOW www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Approving new oil and gas projects like Rosebank would directly threaten public health in the UK and around the world. Read the full letter: ukhealthalliance.org/news-item/he...

Really important intervention from health leaders writing to Sec of State for Health and Social Care today to call on him to oppose #Rosebank. You can also have your say in UK's energy future by signing this petition (almost at 1 million signatures combined) actionnetwork.org/petitions/ha...

A well-known time in history, but a story yet to be told. 13-year-old Billy Dunlop rallies the town behind a promise to his friend that he’ll save him from the poorhouse. Can faith and friendship overcome social injustice? Can a broken boat become a symbol of hope? #scotwriterpitch2025

Great start to the morning joining the @rcpch.bsky.social #RCPCH35 #RideForTheirLives cycle in Glasgow and checking out air pollution monitors en route!

Happy to have an informal chat with anyone interested in the @ukhealthclimate.bsky.social chair vacancy. Get in touch if you have any questions 👍

Turning away from net zero isn’t ‘dealing with the reality'...it’s ignoring the greatest long-term threat to a safe, stable future. We need leadership committed to cutting emissions, restoring degraded ecosystems, and protecting the future we leave for generations to come. 📣 (2/2)

Devastating results – @the-independent.com reports our recent poll with @warmthiswinter.bsky.social showing that 7 in 10 UK healthcare workers see patients unable to pay energy bills. Housing conditions are creating an entirely preventable public health crisis! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The @thecccuk.bsky.social carbon budget made me feel more hopeful than I have been recently. It lays out a path to a healthier, cleaner future that is achievable, I hope government takes the advice ukhealthalliance.org/news-item/th...

www.theguardian.com/environment/... analysis from CCC shows,without changing consumption,it will not be possible to create the low-carbon society, & it would be good for us:walk more,cycle where possible,take public transport instead of the car, & eat less meat would all improve most people’s health

Could you be the next Chair of The UK Health Alliance on Climate Change? Reflecting on his time in the role, outgoing Chair @Richard56 says new ideas, energy, and dynamism are needed, and perhaps you could be the person to bring them to the Alliance ukhealthalliance.org/news-item/wh...

“I have to face the fact that my life, and the lives of the people I love will become increasingly difficult and may well come to a premature end. Direct action has become for me an expression of care and a refusal to give in to the uncaring destructive world.” Very powerful interview worth a read

If Government is serious about protecting public #Health, they must address #WoodBurning from residential homes. Its an entirely unnecessary source of #Carciniogenic #AirPollution, & where the population spends the majority of their time live, play,go to school.. cieh.org/news/press-r...

A panel of women under a portrait of men at the House of Commons, and no question which are the more inspirational. Brilliant, passionate and motivating session on the unequal burden of toxic air. A clear stand out message - every child should have the right to clean air #EllasLaw

It’s a shame Scotland couldn’t go ahead with bottle return scheme last year when lots already set up and ready to go. Ireland went ahead. 980 million returns in year 1, 84% of public participating, thousands raised for charity. UK not starting until 2027…. www.independent.ie/irish-news/m...

Great to hear the Chancellor say there's no trade-off between economic growth & net zero - but this needs reflection in action. We know people want climate leadership from politicians - backing airport expansion risks undermining this leadership when we need it most. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg...

Governments need to do more to ensure everyone can afford to eat to nutritious food. Not doing so disadvantages the most vulnerable increasing risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pleased to see the hard work of @ukhealthclimate.bsky.social recognised. In times where it can feel like an uphill battle it is reassuring and motivating to receive such encouragement that we are being acknowledged and maybe even listened to. Onwards and upwards!

England currently has NO target to reduce car dependency, unlike Scotland (20% reduction by 2030) or Wales (10% car mile reduction by 2030). The new Integrated transport strategy is an opportunity to set some targets. Tell your MP 👇

"Equinor has retracted a claim that it stores about a million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually at its flagship carbon capture project after DeSmog obtained data showing the real figure was as little as a tenth of that amount" Wait what, fossil fuel companies aren't trustworthy?
