"The Hague’s fossil-fuel advertising ban is more than a policy- it’s a signal. By rejecting the normalization of fossil fuel promotion, the decision to implement a ban locally can challenge entrenched norms globally... FF advertising bans present a compelling opportunity for governments to act"

International law is starting to reflect a growing global consensus on the need to recognise the climate effects of armed conflicts.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

The amazing research article "The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink" isn't getting enough notice, so I made a little video with the summary of key findings from the paper. If it's too fast at times, just pause and read. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

We have ****ed the climate. Dressing this up as temporary overshoot is indefensible. But this does not mean we are doomed, & it certainly doesn't mean there is no point in trying to turn off the fossil fuel spigot. It's time to get real with climate risks. www.technosphere.earth/derailment-w...

Do you think your MP is aware of the full implications of the climate crisis, across health, national security, food security and our economy? Ask them to attend the first National Emergency Briefing on 27 Nov: www.nebriefing.org

Biofuels were meant to reduce emissions — but recent evidence shows they’re doing the opposite. New data suggest that crop-based biofuels are worsening CO₂ emissions globally. 🧵1/3

Has anyone else been dealing with some serious headline whiplash recently? Even for those of us who follow #climate and #energy matters closely, it can be hard to know what the hell is going on! So here's a thread to help climate communicators get a grip on how to deal with this 🧵

Feeling like the discourse around around #climate change is broken? Tune in to this exciting new #podcast documentary, in which @laurielaybourn.bsky.social sets out a new story to make sense of our current moment. A narrative that can help us nativigate the storm ahead ⛈️

Silencing scientists who sound the alarm won’t stop glaciers from melting, droughts from deepening, or crops from failing. That’s not controversial: it’s physics.

As the world rapidly heads into #climate #overshoot I've noticed a disturbing pattern in journal articles recently. I'll summarize it quickly in this thread 🧵

What is more shocking? 1. Throwing soup on a glass protecting a Van Gogh’s painting 2. Destroying a Banksy mural 🤔 Destroying political art is on the slippery slope towards fascism. All of them have done it. They may be saying they need to protect judges, but this isn’t the way.

📢 Britain faces a climate & nature emergency. On 27 Nov, eight leading experts will brief 800+ leaders from politics, business, culture, faith & media. An unfiltered overview of the latest threats & solutions. Only by facing it can we rise to the challenge. www.nebriefing.org

I've set off to Bougainville,PNG, for another #NoFly journey. I want to complete my research there. Travelling the ~25,000km distance from Italy by🚢,🚅,&🚌,I'll emit ~10 times less than✈️ (computations to come).Here the long read on my motivations: gianlu777.substack.c...#NoFly1/🧵

As debates rage about where the Heathrow third runway will go, help us to remind the government that we shouldn't be expanding airports at all in a climate emergency: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... We need 2,000 more signatures for this to be sent to the government (deadline = 24th Sept)

The beauty of positive tipping points is that it only takes a small change to make a big difference.

After a summer of heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, genocide, the relentless rise of Reform, you know you want to do more; to try harder to stop this madness, in whatever way you can, however small. We are feeling like this too. Join our monthly call: Mon 8 Sep 7pm us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

So 10yrs after @arusbridger.bsky.social launched the #KeepItInTheGround campaign & 6yrs after @katharineviner.bsky.social's #climate pledge The @theguardian.com finance editor @nilspratley.bsky.social is still writing apologetics for the fossil fuel industry!!! Here's a short 🧵on how dumb this is!

This was said this in 1975... it could just as well have been said yesterday!!! 😬😮‍💨

Governments have pledged vast areas for new forests, but much of this land may be unsuitable.

I gave a speech in Wandsworth High Street about air pollution and the benefits of cycling Stay to the end to see a list of proposals to make the air cleaner and the community stronger @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social @wandsworthlabour.bsky.social @scientistsforxr.earth @londoncycling.bsky.social

One of our scientists has made a documentary about wildfires and the rise of the far right. It was made with minimal carbon and on a shoestring crowdfund. Would your local cinema show it? If you think so, send the name of the cinema in a reply to Pete’s post.

Pleased to announce that @tristramwyatt.bsky.social & I have a new article out in @uk.theconversation.com, based on work with colleagues from @scientistsforxr.earth We outline "How scientists can contribute to social movements and climate action" Here's a thread with some background & key points 🧵

Social movements play an essential role pushing for action on climate and nature, and it’s now widely recognised that support from scientists can make them more effective But not everyone can take to the streets or risk arrest That’s ok – there’s lots we can do in other ways 🧵1/

Imperial Zero Index is a “rigourous” new framework they have rolled out “to assess which companies have a strategic commitment to decarbonisation, and are taking concrete steps towards operationalising that commitment” Does this mean they will finally say no to toxic industries? 1/n

Universities like @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social defend working with Shell because they are aligned with these ‘Science-Based Targets’. Now they have abandoned them, these ‘science-based’ universities will try to find new ways to legitimise their working relationships with these companies, or not?
