Yup, this is the good news narrative that should be behind growing national pride - look at the UK leading the way in this new energy revolution!

My holiday memories as a kid are long drives through France. Buying cute stationary in the hypermarches and then burning up getting back into a boiling hot car. Solar covered car parks = Happier customers + lower bills Adaptation + mitigation Would you like this at your supermarket?

Why don't we chat about climate more? Even for those us concerned about climate change, we also value friendships and social norms, and not being a bore, because climate change isn't a one-off news item, its all day, everyday... #climatecomms es.britsoc.co.uk/not-talking-...

Public control and investment in water, energy and public transport could help UK climate adaptation & mitigation massively. Nationalisation has significant public support. And it doesn’t matter why, if the co-benefits gather majority support.

Images have power. How would you think about the heatwave if this image was of elderly people in a stuffy care home, roofers or builders sweating at work, or a hospital ward with nurses helping patients sip water?

This is the kind of numerical literacy that we need to be shown on TV, in classrooms, on that huge screen in Piccadilly that shows expensive ads. Most of us really have no idea what a £million or £billion looks like compared to our wealth. Shout out to the infographic designers 👏

Reporting on climate means encountering audiences with varying levels of understanding when it comes to climate change and the science of it. This question is for climate journalists, but curious what climate scientists would say, too. Tell us in the comments!

My almost-teen always wants IRL friendtime > screentime. “The young people we’ve spoken to crave more social connection and places to go,” he said. “It’s no good saying ‘get off your phone and do something’ if they don’t have anything to do nearby.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If you need some climate solutionist optimism this week (I certainly do) then imagine walking to the sea on a really hot beach, and your feet burn? Imagine sand that is 500°C. And there's a giant sand box 13x15m. Ouch - yes! Shared home heating with your neighbours - yay!

Hey @lizzicollinge.bsky.social I know you're a supporter of the @nebriefing.bsky.social - would you be able to sign this EDM asking fora nationalised television briefing? It already has cross-party support and 26 signatures! edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

Most people care about the environment ... when its THEIR environment. Their water? Their power supply? Their local woods and farmlands? They care. My stickers back in the 80s 'Think Global. Act Local.' But 'Think Local. Act Globlal' is also true. If we ALL look after our local environment.

Human-centred comms. Brilliant.

88% of millionaires are proud to live in the UK and three quarters are willing to pay higher taxes to defend what makes them proud. Why won’t our politicians listen, pick up the pace, and get on with what is welcome, common sense, and necessary? It’s time to tax the super rich.

I need a word. A word that describes the tummy-hollowing disappointment and confusion of reaching for your last few sips of tea - and finding an empty mug. I need a word for that. And I may need more tea… 🫖

If you want to stop Reform at the next GE, there really is now only one option #VoteGreen 💚

If you want to see more Green wins, we really need you to join. And if you’ve joined - go to your local party meetings. We need people on the streets, knocking on doors, having conversations. We don’t have £millions, but we can spread hope!

Hi @lizzicollinge.bsky.social - would be great to see your signature supporting the call for the @nebriefing.bsky.social screening to be broadcast to the nation. Lots of screenings happening around Morecambe and Lancaster too! www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

Who should you vote for this week? youtu.be/IFj6J0i0CpU

We have the technology and ingenuity for a clean, pollution free world, exhibit #32716 We just need our political institutions to force business practise, not business forcing politics.

No notes.

A lot of #ClimateComms pros say we should focus on Co-benefits, like cost - everyone likes to save money, right? Seems like solar panels are winning more and more fans, thanks to lower panel costs, rising gas prices and fear of supply disruption. No need to talk about climate at all!

So many places to put solar panels that are already connected to grids AND to where power is needed. Factory roofs Car parks Railways Outdoor swimming pools… (ok, so that’s a personal wish but why not?!) Where else would be good?

Emissions. Some you control. Some you influence. And the Ad industry has an outsized influence through what we all see and hear everyday on billboards, tv, our phones. The brilliant @vikiharvey.bsky.social quoted here: www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

Santa Marta is giving hope because unlike the unworkable consensus that COP requires, this is building a new social norm based on an active minority - the way big social tipping points work. www.euronews.com/2026/04/30/t...

This is great news. OF COURSE our flight emissions should be counted in the UK's carbon footprint. But full consumption-based footprints would be better 🧵 "Ignoring emissions beyond the UK’s borders is no way to tackle climate change." Toby Perkins MP...

Those tie-dye eco-warriors at... many of the world's largest companies... are calling for a rapid clean energy revolution again. www.businessgreen.com/news/4528804...

This is MASSIVE in carbon emission calculations. MASS.IVE!! And also kinda, yet so what? Because we all presumed that emissions from planes and ships were already counted, right? Right?!

When is a chocolate bar more than a chocolate bar? When it can tell stories about agroforestry, climate emissions, fair trade and child labour (peak inside your Tony’s Chocalony bar for that episode). The best climate stories are relatable. And boy do I relate to chocolate!

Younger and female investors more likely to accept lower returns for more sustainable investments. Interesting that this also matches demographic of voters most likely to vote Green. Investing "without sacrificing their core values".

Sounds like the scientists worked their butts off, for free, because they are desperate for polititicans to act. 'A “very rapidly evolved process” that relied on the “goodwill” and “enthusiasm” of the academics involved.' As ever, people-power vs fossil-fuel £££s.

The best bit about the People's Emergency Briefing? The clips of Chris Packham sharing a sofa, and taking in their reactions as they watched. The best bit about *hosting* a screening? Our audience sharing their feelings. Facts don't change behaviours - feelings do!

One of those weekends when the weight of the world feels overwhelming. So starting with actions I can control: Yoga. A walk in nature and cooking a family dinner. Oh and plotting the Green surge in Kendal by designing leaflets for @kendalgreenparty.bsky.social 💚

When you send out invites and hope people show up... 200 did! 200 people sat in silence as the film ended. 200 people processing how they felt. 200 people who talked & want to take action. Hosting a screening is rewarding - ask me Qs! Going to one is easy: www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

1 a year to 1 every 12 hours - killer data story telling!

This is a huge part of getting our silent majority to be louder. Great to see membership orgs like Nat Trust and RSPB using collective voices like this.

*Gulp* - that’s a lot of lost calories.

We’ve got new neighbours! Started trimming this shrub when we discovered a Song Thrush mum and her 3 babies in a nest. Been sending this pic to friends & family, because we all love nature stories - and we can all be nature story tellers. Knowing and naming are part of caring and saving.

Kate tells a heartbreaking story of her years in NASA, and why she and 1000's of other scientists are being pushed from US science.

Insurance and investors are often pushing industry sectors to move before policy does. Why? Business risk. "Air pollution from road vehicles should be seen as a material business risk for freight and logistics operators"

“Oxfam estimates that perhaps $3.55tn is still shielded from tax – worth more than 3% of global GDP. Estimates from previous research suggest 80% of this wealth, or > $2.84tn is likely to be owned by the richest 0.1%” Illegal? Maybe not. Immoral? Feels like it www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

What do you think of this? Trying to get 1000s of people to sign the UK's biggest ever thank you card - to everyone who helps out in local communities. The aim is to generate press coverage of unity and kindness. Will it work? Worth signing to try: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/si...

You don't need to be a perfect green to make a difference. Organising with others is the way to bring about change, not recycling that one soya yoghurt pot. Real hope, real change. Come and meet people just like you. 13 April, Edington Centre, Kendal, 7pm. Bring your own drinks, snacks and Qs!

#ClimateComms needs GreenShouting! There's no climate action retreat. Business is just quiet. To customers quiet = no action. That's the greenhushing risk. This @creatives4climate.bsky.social toolkit shows the art of GreenShouting = commercial success. www.creativesforclimate.co/greenshouting

#Lancaster you are invited to see the People's Emergency Briefing with Lancaster Arts & @mikebernerslee.bsky.social holding a discussion about how this affects us and what we can do. Pay what you wish. 📍Great Hall, Lancaster Uni 📆Tue 14 April 🕖 7 - 9 pm 🎟 www.lancasterarts.org/youre-invite...

We need to talk about gases. Carbon is not a lone criminal. It might be the one on the Most Wanted Poster, but it has a gang of lessen-known villains doing just as much damage. Meet methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases, nitrogen trifluoride and sulphur hexafluoride.

Another food crisis report that was buried 🤦 This new one comes thanks to the fantastic work of @rupertread.bsky.social and @ben-cooke.bsky.social in The Times this week. A quick thread 🧵: www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

“The first rule of advocacy is to open your mouth” - Jonathon Porritt. Let me tell you a story about connection. Stories. Passion. And a banana. I’m sitting at our stand with a few bunches of bananas on the table. They make perfect sustainable give aways, link to Mike’s book, and start chats…

Your MP might not believe in climate change. You might not really believe in climate change. But your insurance company does and so do other house buyers. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
