Congrats @greenpartyhan.bsky.social you’re going to be a brilliant MP! 💚 Yesterday was inspiring, knackering, and felt like being part of a monumental shift. Today is relief, hope and optimism 🌈

The only thing keeping my nerves at bay watching the #curling final is speed knitting. Reckon I’ll have a whole cardigan by the end of the match. C’mon Bruce and the boys! 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥌

If you're into any kind of #climatecomms, you could treat yourself to a new book from the Climate Fiction longlist, to end your week. Can confirm or deny that more books are en route to my house, and no, I don't know which overfull bookshelf they will go on either.

Climate Change, hey? You gotta laugh! A new wave of climate comedy is helping climate messages reach audiences without the doom. www.channel4.com/news/using-c...

When people believe that reaching 'net zero' is a good idea, but too expensive, we need to ask, 'Compared to what?' Yet more hidden costs of fossil fuels that we all pay the price for.

Any #greenparty members want to join me for this? Climate Outreach always have great insights into what voters feel and how best to talk with them.

“We can’t be shrinking away from this space,” say the scientists combating misinformation by taking strategies from the influencer playbook. Good feature on what's involved in getting very online by @catrionaclarke.bsky.social @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I’m taking a positive unifying view on this important research: We have more in common than that which divides us! Big majority of Brits enjoying pancakes today - the style and topping are just details.

Offering community: deep canvassing research says it's the key to help shift people's opinions. Is it the key to switching our energy industry? Life After Oil is trying to do just that. Offering community, support and storytelling for people leaving their oil industry careers. lifeafteroil.net

This is my home. I have friends who work in the paper mill that’s suspected of being the cause of forever chemicals in our local river… that I sometimes swim in. And we risk falling behind EU nations in setting limits on these chemicals in our water and soil. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On my way to Manchester to help get @greenpartyhan.bsky.social elected as our next Green MP 💚 Spreading love and hope on Valentine’s Day.

Do you think the same org that handles military data, and handed over personal data to ICE in the US, should have your health data? Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

So, peanut butter? If butter is a protected term in the same way as milk, we’re going to need to come up with an alternative name. Pulverised peanuts. Peanut mush. Peanut gunge. Feel like this needs to be a collective effort. Please add your own! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

2 weeks ago I posted this: “Could you take one step up? 💚 If you vote green - join us If you're a member - go to your local group If you go to meetings - take on a role” Tonight I appeared to have volunteered to be on the committee of Kendal #GreenParty and to launch new social channels! *gulp*

The thing no one tells you about fighting the far-right? It can be really fun - and you meet proper lovely people. Looking at you @richiebryan.bsky.social 💚 Gave @greenpartyhan.bsky.social an energy boosting Kendal mint cake from the Kendal greens! @greenparty.org.uk @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social

Comfy shoes ✅ Shoulder bag ✅ Thermos mug ✅ Battery pack ✅ Spatular for letterboxes ✅ Green beret ✅ Hope not hate ✅ Got everything I need for some @greenpartyhan.bsky.social campaigning tomorrow!

Stories are how we understand the world we have, and the worlds we could have. Great to see such diversity in the Climate Fiction Prize long list… and in unrelated news it’s my birthday in a coupla months. And no, my to-read pile isn’t *that* big already.

What really motivates people to take collective climate action? Other people to have fun with, and evidence that this kind of thing can create change. sustainability.stanford.edu/news/how-mot... #climatecomms #greensky

We urgently need a parliamentary debate on Palantir. Please sign this & share with your network. Via @the-citizens.bsky.social & @change.org. www.change.org/p/hold-a-par...

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Could you take one step up? 💚 If you vote green - join us If you're a member - go to your local group If you go to meetings - take on a role Reform have cash. We have people. We need feet on the street, hands posting leaflets, and smiles and ears to listen to people's concerns on their doorstep.

As an NHS clinical psychologist, I can say pretty much everything here is contributing to the distress people are feeling. It's so validating- to feel heard & understood. This is not the usual 'political spin', this is a presentation of reality that so many people live every day. Thank you.

Scary? Yes. Vital to understand? Yes. Made for a chilling afternoon at work yesterday? Also yes.

What we read about corporate climate action in the media, and what’s actually happening, aren’t the same. Climate action is also cost reduction, risk management, and staff & customer loyalty and retention.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share: “Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.” (link below)

This is an excerpt from Carney’s speech today. Without context, these same words could be applied to those of us (countries, companies, institutions and individuals) who know the reality of the impending climate crisis. Name reality and face the enemy of fossilstates and fossil actors.

The High Seas Treaty came into force today following ratification by over 60 countries. Multilateralism is not quite dead yet. www.businessgreen.com/news/4524322...

Say it with me: 90% of people alive today will be better off if we phase out fossil fuels. That’s what the economics actually shows.

Shocker. Tech, mainly built by men, doesn't adequately reflect the experience of women. This is why diverse user groups are vital, in all projects, in all industries, in all endeavours.

Research by Oxfam has found that the world’s richest 1% have used up their fair share of carbon emissions just 10 days into 2026.😵‍💫 It's time the biggest polluters, like fossil fuel companies and the super-rich, paid more for climate action.✊ @oxfamgb.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It may be hard to see now, but I'm telling you: he fundamental tenets of 21st-century competitive authoritarianism are the denial of climate change, the promotion of an economy based on fossil fuels, and the abrogation of human rights and the rule of law so as to manage tenets one and two.

That feeling of 'not being where you think you should be in life' certainly resonates with my circle. But should we call it the 'cost of living crisis'? Or a 'growing inequality crisis'. The money is there to pay for higher costs, it's just that fewer people have more of it.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Ok 2026. Channeling peaceful and bright winter sun vibes today. Pic from a walk last week in my village, always love the sun sparkling over the sea.

Last year's landmark briefing in London, was a major success. Now it's time to take it to the people.... Help us raise funds for a film that will shown across the UK from March. It's time to take the National Emergency Briefing to the people... www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-people...

2026: The year #climatecomms says goodbye to greenhushing and gets LOUD! Who's with me?

#ClimateComms good + bad news: Good news: Climate Comms works best with wide appeal messaging. "Mass appeals comfortably beat nano-targeted messaging and can increase support for climate policies from sizable pluralities to clear majorities." blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

Closing perception gaps is how we create social tipping points in favour of the green transition. And we can all play a huge role, so simply... Just talk to people you know, about how you feel about clean energy. People need to know that people like them, like renewables. Simples.

It is incredibly sad that the BBC is a place for Robbie Gibb, Fiona Bruce and Laura Kuenssberg, and not Robin Ince.

In otter (mostly good) news: "The otter could become a symbol of the change that many are demanding. If we can use otters as a sort of charismatic ambassador for river health, that can be really quite a powerful thing.”

Follow-up Q: When do you *want* to start feeling Christmassy? For me 1 Dec is waaaaay too early for all the festive feels. I can't maintain that specialness for a whole month. I plan to start feeling Christmaasy this weekend, tree + decorating + mulled wine = festive for sure. How about you?

Phew! That explains my red face after a pathetically short, slow lunchtime run. It's not me - it's above average temps.

What do you love most about circular economy? (it's not all about saving the planet 💚) 1️⃣Business + jobs 2️⃣Saves money 3️⃣Higher quality items 4️⃣Community connection 🧡 5️⃣Good for the planet - people don't want to throw away, don't want more stuff, but do because it's easier

+ Follow All and up your #climateComms content on BlueSky. Climate is no longer a technical problem, it’s a communication problem. These are the people that will help.

How does change happen in society? It's rarely everyone agreeing and doing the same thing at the same time, which the COP model aims for. Most often it's building a coalition, with a few being first adopters, leading by example and allowing others an easier path to follow.

Just got woken up with the the house shaking slightly. Earthquake in Cumbria!

I saw a duck today on my local estuary that I've not seen before. Just found out it's a Goosander Duck (Mergus merganser). And that has been the best bit of my day today. www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wi...

For a major oil and gas-producing nation, a G7 member, and a country with significant historical responsibility for driving the climate crisis, ending oil & gas exploration is a significant decision. Now the govt needs to follow through by refusing consent for Rosebank.

If policy makers use climate models to help inform them. Those models mostly miss our climate impact on our wellbeing. "If wellbeing is not represented, the benefits of climate action will be undervalued because the models cannot account for them." theconversation.com/climate-acti...
