A new @nature.com study by @ethz.ch with IIASA, @climateanalytics.org, @ox.ac.uk & partners traces today’s extreme heat back to fossil fuel & cement industry emissions. 😶‍🌫️ 180 producers = ~60% of CO₂ since 1850 ⚖️ Companies, not just nations, must be held accountable. 🔗 iiasa.ac.at/news/sep-202...

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

Joint paper with A Paulsson, R Raphael & M Islar on the provision of autonomy in #degrowth/#postgrowth circumstances, looking at democracy, work and education. Will talk about education part tomorrow at the @scientistrebellion.bsky.social summit in Berlin journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

#NameAndFame examples of #CoveringClimate *without writing about it directly*. Mention that newsmakers ride/take transit for local transportation or if it comes up that they are #plantbased or #vegan. No hard sell needed. Just casually drop examples and they will add up. cc: @coveringclimatenow.org

The solution is to tax meat - gradually but steeply. theconversation.com/a-meat-tax-i...

We need climate-realistic, non corporate captured, conservatives to come up and fill this obvious gaping hole. Farmers, workers and more with conservative views on immigration, gender, family etc still want a livable planet over nonce billionaires! #Conservatives, get at it, and get real!!!

The first time a birdsong has ever made tears fall from my eyes. What ever happened to us?

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay 🌍 #DidYouKnow Healthy ecosystems support healthy minds? IPBES #NexusAssessment confirms: biodiversity and functioning ecosystems improve mental health. Access to biodiverse environments facilitates recovery from stress, depression & other health-related conditions.🏡🧪

A rare moth that pretends to be a wasp to avoid predators has become the 10,000th species recorded at a UK nature reserve. The National Trust believe that Wicken Fen nature reserve in Cambridgeshire is the first in the UK to record so many species. www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/ar...

When I was reporting in Sudan several years ago, a driver warned me not to tell government officials when I was leaving because the airport is where they stop and detain writers. So, yeah, this is a very bad sign. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Grand stuff from @greenparty.org.uk and @zackpolanski.bsky.social youtu.be/b2rA0kA8LjU?...

It’s real!! I just got my first copy of Ghosts Behind Glass and it is beautiful. You all really need to order your copies. You will not regret it. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane! www.euroveg.eu/european-par...

this is the real legacy of Charlie Kirk

This is a scandal from our national broadcaster. De platforming a party surging in membership and council seats while uncritically staging long interviews with a absentee fascist bum Complain about this outrageous editorialising here: www.ofcom.org.uk/make-a-compl...

*gasp*

This is probably the best anti-take on climate eco crisis ever. The exact opposite is true Our ecosystem cant survive unless people learn to let go of things that bring them dopamine but are incompatible with the future. Simple as that The way we ‘enjoy’ life has to move on from this strange world

Uk government reached the “harassing lawyers who win cases against us” stage of opression. “Fahad is a senior solicitor specialising in cases involving national security and has a strong track record of holding the British government to account”

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

Rattled, much? A speech about unity, community and cohesion. About the 99% Vs the 1%. I'm not surprised the Labour Party didn't quite get that.... Join.greenparty.org.uk

The steadily growing population of rare lesser horseshoe bats in the shed (roughly 100) attests to the level of flying insect life in the forest outside, since each bat catches around 3,000 per night. Healthy nature depends on healthy, wild, functioning *ecosystems*. Rewilding delivers that. 🌏

They really ask not too much, but highly likely way too less From all what I collected over the years I would say meat consumption has at least to be reduced by 75% percent The consumption of diary products has also to be reduced at least by half What missing by 100% is the oceans #Earth

ACTION TO GO AHEAD AS PLANNED Today, the Metropolitan Police wrote to us to ask that we postpone Saturday’s mass protest in Trafalgar Square, citing “significant pressure on policing”. Our response in short: Don’t arrest us then. Our full response: defendourjuries.net/wp-content/u...

The world missed its climate target. What happens next? In 2015, governments agreed to limit global heating to 1.5°C. In 2025, we’re blowing past this How did we get here - and how do we navigate what’s next? Find out in Overshoot, a new 4-part documentary Episode 1 coming soon.

The construction transition was never so affordable. We have 9x passive house straw modules, all 2,5m x 3m that take too much space. Transport: You. Cost: A donation. I will support you with details, like corners, closing of the window openings (fits a straw bale,...)

They think this makes them ‘progressive’. But did they ask the schools if a library is their priority? Did they ask the students? Of course not. These ideas, like school breakfasts & family hubs, are from elitist think tanks & advisers. Never from the people. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Another reminder, were one needed, that nature already built a uniformly distributed, highly locally optimized form of carbon harvesting called plants. We just need to get in the way of that natural cycle of carbon release. Aka: biochar.

It's dumb that a report can be published in 2025 saying that 7 of Earth's 9 planetary boundaries have been breached, without ANY mention of capitalism or imperialism. Instead, the authors blame "human activities," as if all of us are somehow equally responsible. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

Saxicolous (stone) lichens, in some places thought to live for 11,500 years, challenge basic concepts like species, and some consider them more akin to actual ecosystems. Their symbiotic relationships can be viewed as metaphors for resistance, resilience, and interconnection.

On Friday, the EPA proposed killing the program that requires large factories, refineries, and power plants to report their carbon emissions. But its plan would also hobble the carbon capture industry & basically prevent anyone from using the tax credit. New from me: heatmap.news/energy/epa-g...

It is massively important to remember how powerful of an advantage it is that truth is on our side.

If there's one thing I wish I could get every earnest liberal to understand, it's that, from the point of view of an authoritarian psychology, efforts to persuade, to "reach out" & "find common ground," are *viewed as evidence of weakness*.

Media please shut the fuck up about deterioration of civil political debate. We have a massive lying and gaslighting problem that begins at the White House and ends with Kirk. That's what's making people desperate.

An authoritative group of #climate scientists have reviewed 5 prominent ideas to #geoengineer the polar regions. They conclude that these ideas are economically and practically unfeasible, environmentally dangerous & have major governance & ethics issues. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci... 🌊🧪

‘Ever since the dawn of the thing we call democracy, the contest has been between the public interest and the power of money. Money’s tools include the direct funding politicians, bullying by the billionaire media, misinformation, lobby companies, and junktanks whose affiliations are not disclosed’

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Absolutely delighted that my book THE LIE OF THE LAND has won the Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing! This week, one of the book’s recommendations, a ban on moorland burning, became a reality. Next, we need a Nature Bill for England… bsky.app/profile/wain...

they just decide what they think we’re like and proceed as though

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Charlie Kirk was a person. He might not have cared if I died, but if I don’t care that he died then I’ve already lost. I believe in the dignity of all human beings and I want to live in a society that treats each of us as sacred and ensouled.

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.

Now is the time for the “side that truly cares about every human” to show everyone that we truly care about every human, and every death. That doesnt take away from our movement, the fight, and our drive. Our drive has always been empathy!

The answer must be we need more guns.. and less healthcare🤨

About to start Watch it for an alternative view to immigration We are fed the divisive rhetoric constantly which fuels hate and violence … now hear the positives

The last 48 hours have been surreal here in Kathmandu! Nepal’s youth recently started a viral online campaign exposing and targeting corrupt politicians & their children’s lavish lifestyles while the rest were struggling! Rattled, they tried banning social media altogether and all hell broke loose!

The article itself www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I love it. And from his interviews, i can feel he is saying this as a call to action, all action, and not from insidious competition. Positive competition in any movement is a blessing, and one a left has been needing

🎺🎺We are proud to announce that the new @greenparty.org.uk leader, @zackpolanski.bsky.social will be joining our protest against Donald Trump on September 17😎😎
