Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere soared by a record amount in 2024. Weâve hit another high. Storm Amy hit harder than expected, 42,000 homes had no power. So why are we still stepping away from climate commitments? When those in power fail to act, we must stand and be counted.

Sheffield March for Palestine calls for Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions.
Yesterday's Sheffield March for Palestine passed two shops in particular that protesters say are complicit in Genocide. Lidl on High Street and Marks and Spencer on Fargate. The owner of Lidl is a Zionist and a huge investor in Israeli tech companies. Marks and Spencer stock various goods grown on stolen Palestinian land such as dates and have long supported Zionism.

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse.

Biodiversity Loss and Shifting Baseline Syndrome
By Darcy White Over the course of my life, Iâve had several stark wakeup calls about the profound loss of biodiversity we are facing. One was about 25 years ago whilst on holiday on the remote Llyn Peninsular in north Wales. Another was this summer whilst holidaying in Dumfries and Galloway, on the south-west coast of Scotland. In each place I experienced what felt like a throwback to my childhood in rural Suffolk during the late 1960s and 70s, amidst an abundance of wildlife.

Make Them Pay and Palestine protests at the weekend.
In a busy weekend for protests the Make Them Pay demo in London saw thousands take to the streets to demand the Government Tax the super-rich Protect workers, not billionaires Make polluters pay Make Them Pay is supported by more than 50 organisations and groups fighting for social justice in the UK including Extinction Rebellion, as well as individuals. As COP approaches we must make people aware that there are simple solutions to the many crises we face, if only politicians had the political will to implement them.

THE names of around 18,500 children who have all been killed in Gaza by Israelâs onslaught are being be read out loud at Sheffield Train Station today, Friday, September 5, 2025, in an event predicted to take at least 18 hours. Gaza-born Sheffield resident Musheir El Farra will be among those reading the names of the children, all of whom have been killed since Israelâs military began its bombardment of Gaza in October 2023.

Europeâs largest insurance brokers conference confronted with climate protests
A colourful and dramatic protest from environmental groups greeted delegates at Europeâs largest insurance brokers conference last Wednesday at Manchester Central Convention Centre. The demand was for the industry to stop backing fossil fuel projects. Without this insurance fossil fuel companies would not be able to continue polluting our planet. Sheffield was represented by the 5 Rivers Rising Samba Fusion band whose loud beats were a constant reminder to delegates that it is their duty to act now on the climate emergency.
