Britain’s Climate Wake-up: Inside Westminster’s National Emergency Briefing – I speak with co-organiser Nick Oldridge. Is Your MP going? youtu.be/hDu88eJI3ps @nickoldridge.bsky.social

3C of global warming means many feet of sea level rise, fundamentally altering coastlines and swamping megacities home to 100s of millions. It means heatwaves that in humid regions could become, literally, unsurvivable for those outdoors without access to active cooling. [11/n]

🥳🎉 “This is a major step forward. It’s a relief to see the Court recognise... that new oil and gas fields threaten our most basic human rights. Requiring governments to assess the global #climate consequences of oil &gas combustion before approving new fossil projects is common sense,& long overdue"

In a historic first, working GP Patrick Hart has been suspended from the medical register for 10 months for his actions to sound the alarm on the climate crisis and its threats to health. Read more here: healthforxr.com/historic-fir...

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson. Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks. Piss him off instead and Join.greenparty.org.uk

too much textual bibliography for one day.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

perhaps Israel could show a bit of respect by stopping the killing of civilians?

Brilliant speech from @zackpolanski.bsky.social - investing in climate, stopping the boats thro safe & legal routes, introducing a wealth tax on the very wealthiest, challenging privatisation, building community & spreading a #PoliticsOfHope @greenparty.org.uk #gpconf

"the prosecution refused to agree to any facts on the #ClimateCrisis to be included... Agreed facts exist precisely to establish the uncontested backdrop against which actions are judged... by excluding them the CPS is not only stripping away essential context but effectively denying reality itself"

"We can no longer pretend that we are sleepwalking into climate catastrophe. We are doing it consciously, with our eyes wide open." @profbillmcguire.bsky.social focuses on politicians, but what about the rest of us? Or did we open our eyes briefly, then decide we'd rather just keep them shut?

“To be a good scientist, I have to take emotions out of work. Still, I would say looking at this data, when I allow myself to connect to it emotionally, then I am afraid. This really scares me” - Dr. Levke Caesar, co-lead of Planetary Boundaries Science Lab

The US president said of the UK: “‘They have tremendous oil left that hasn’t even been found yet. And what a tremendous asset for the United Kingdom, and I hope the prime minister’s listening because I told it to him three days in a row – that’s all he heard: ‘North Sea oil, North Sea’”

“With current trends suggesting warming up to 3°C this century, using all of the safe geological storage wouldn’t even get us back to 2°C,” said lead author Matthew Gidden, research professor at the Center for Global Sustainability at the University of Maryland.

Despicable propagandists in the billionaire media howl that oil + gas workers hate action to tackle the climate crisis. But a major new survey shows that UK fossil fuel staff are DONE with their dying industry. They want out — and they want a worker-led #JustTransition to another world🧵

The Trump administration appears to be trying to make a global war on renewables. I spoke to @mkblyth.bsky.social for @drilledmedia.bsky.social about the strategy of carbon dominance, how this is shaping politics not just in the US but everywhere, and what that means for the future.

In a parallel with the devastating destruction of the Aral Sea, Lake Urmia in Iran -- once one of the world's largest saltwater lakes -- has now also been completely destroyed by overpumping, #water diversions, and increased evaporation from climate change. www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/862...

The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...

Anyone NOT see the trend? #ClimateCrisis.

This would be laughable if it wasn't so serious: yet again, the Tories are claiming that we can get "all our oil and gas" from the North Sea and that we should be doing even more to support the industry to extract. There are several reasons why we should treat this with maximum scepticism:

"An analysis... of 25 different #climate models shows that the #AMOC could begin to collapse by 2063 (2026-2095, 25th-75th percentiles) under an intermediate emission scenario... When the AMOC collapses, the NW European climate changes drastically & this will likely induce severe societal impacts"
