Important letter in @theguardian.com from @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social "This is not alarmism. As the @thecccuk.bsky.social report shows, our high-grade farmland in England & Wales could collapse from 40% to just over 10% by 2050, striking at our ability to feed ourselves."

IT’S A STITCH-UP Today in Edinburgh, a motion from the UK Govt to pause the Scottish judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action was approved. This means the case will not proceed until proceedings in England have fully run their course. www.thenational.scot/news/2614530...

What's it like to know the #climate crisis better than anyone? I interviewed climate scientists about the weight of knowing, and how they navigate the gap between understanding and action. 🎥 New talk presented at @gsiexeter.bsky.social last week. Kindly hosted by @jamesgdyke.info.

Civilisation Runs on Electricity, Water and Cat Pictures. A short blog about heatwaves, climate breakdown, energy, Westminster, AI, and Gideon demanding emergency Dreamies aid packages. So, you know, light reading for a Bank Holiday evening. selfpropelled.life/2026/05/24/c...

A great blog from @jamhar.bsky.social here. Thank you 💚 Explains my feelings perfectly, and why I get told everything is always political with me. Facing of all of this, how could I not be? We're going about it the wrong way. Also makes me wonder if Caroline Lucas might be right re. Burnham.

One of the biggest mistakes by the government was to tolerate and pander to this group. Far right extremist thugs posing as patriots, who should have been clamped down on from day one www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I’ve written a blog called Politics is Killing Us, about climate breakdown, inequality, democratic failure, AI, authoritarianism, Citizens’ Assemblies, billionaires, media manipulation, rage, hope, and Gideon the cat passing judgement on humanity. selfpropelled.life/2026/05/15/p...

It’s incredible to me that we allow a nation committing Genocide, whose leaders talk openly of Ethnic Cleansing, whose army routinely targets and murders children, aid workers and journalists - are allowed to take part in something like Eurovision. www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/isra...

No thanks Wes. You’re part of the problem, not solution.

1/🧵 🌎 #CarbonReckoning - taking forward a legal project to get a UK carbon budget that truly aligns with international science and law 🤔 This isn't just about numbers ✅ It's about your life, your home, your future 👀 Here's why 🧵👇 www.crowdjustice.com/case/carbon-... @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Climate breakdown is here now, not in some distant future. Legal challenges can force accountability when politics fails. That matters because urgent emissions cuts still are not happening fast enough. I’ve supported this case for future generations. www.crowdjustice.com/case/carbon-...

Urr, Reform, yeah, they’re fine, no issues here at all. Thanks for Ben Goldborough MP for highlighting this racism and fascism from a Reform member. Disgusting. Could we deport them, maybe to America?

"We conclude that the balance of multiple lines of evidence strongly supports a past and ongoing #AMOC slowing in response to global warming." #ClimateEmergency #ActNow

WATCH - Trudi Warner arrested, handcuffed, and carried for holding a placard with the law written on it outside Woolwich Crown Court. “There’s a High Court Ruling about this law” Trudi ought to know, because the case was “the Secretary General vs Trudi Warner”, and Trudi won.

New study: most climate models underestimate the decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC. The AMOC is on course to slow by more than 50% by the end of the century. 🌊 Very likely the AMOC will then be past the tipping point for full shutdown. 😨 us.cnn.com/2026/04/16/c...

I see @nilspratley.bsky.social is still peddling nonsense! I hope @katharineviner.bsky.social examines this given the @theguardian.com's #Climate pledge Its incoherent for their finance editorials to take this line, it undermines the excellent climate reporting by @dpcarrington.bsky.social & team

A Government of lies and u-turns. And a failure to end rip off Britain. In May millions of people have a chance to vote for something better. Hope and a plan.

If you have time, please take a moment to tell Allianz (world's largest insurer and until recently Elbit shareholder) to drop their civil suit against activists. 🙏🏼🇵🇸✊ actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought. This will be really bad when it happens, which on our current trajectory it will, and maybe sooner that we expect. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My letter in EDP today, which I didn’t think they were going to print as it’s very long, but maybe the EDP wanted some balance. Open letter to Foreign Secretary on Gaza.

While people at home are dreading the next energy bill landing in their inbox, fossil fuel bosses are filling their coffers We need a permanent, tightened windfall tax to claw back every penny of excess profit being made on this crisis and put it towards supporting households

"In one scenario at CO₂ concentrations of 450ppm —last experienced by Earth several million years ago, when polar ice was significantly reduced—Antarctic temperatures rise by 6°C while Arctic temperatures drop by 7°C due to #AMOC collapse" We're now at ~430ppm & rising 🙈 #ClimateEmergency

“He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.” This would be funny… if they didn’t actually believe it. We’ve reached the point where political branding now includes miracles and divine anointing. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

“Angela Rayner ‘dodged’ paying the correct amount of tax. Her position is morally indefensible. If she had any integrity, any moral decency she would resign.” (Dick Tice, Reform Ltd)

BREAKING: Massive Attack musician Robert Del Naja defies the unlawful ban on Palestine Action. He said “the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic, because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes, and breaking international law."

BREAKING: Police wrongly arrest and cart off an unresponsive elderly woman under the Terrorism Act. They did so because she held a sign saying she opposes genocide and supports Palestine Action.

I’ve written to the Foreign Secretary to ask a simple question: are we upholding international law — or helping to break it? This is my open letter on the UK’s role in Gaza, Lebanon and beyond. selfpropelled.life/2026/04/08/u...

New blog. Protest criminalised. Civilians still dying. It just gets worse. At what point do we stop looking away? Are we the baddies? selfpropelled.life/2026/03/29/a...

This brave woman was arrested under the UK Terrorism Act on Saturday for holding a cardboard sign. “Palestine Action should never have been proscribed. The courts have ruled that they shouldn’t have been proscribed… this is political and this is about continuing the genocide.”

How can the BBC justify how much coverage they give other marches which are significantly smaller in size? The bias is so obviously blatant. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

1/🌡️ Global warming passed a milestone on 17th Nov 2023 that barely made the news For the first time ever, the world's daily average temperature was 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels Here's what the data says about when that becomes the annual norm, & whether it's coming sooner than anyone expects🧵

"the findings indicate that hundreds of millions more people — particularly in Vietnam 🇻🇳 , the Philippines 🇵🇭 , Indonesia 🇮🇩, the Maldives 🇲🇻 and other Southeast Asian and Pacific nations — are living closer to sea level than widely assumed by Western experts and policymakers."

Handouts to oil and gas firms while people face likely bill hikes. Reckless and irresponsible at a time when we should be doubling down on renewables not cutting tax to fossil fuel fuel giants. We need a plan to protect people from the coming price shock.
