This is nuts. We shouldn’t have to be fighting needless battles like this. So annoying. Just like the coal mine farce, mad ideas like this just get in the way of sensible policy making for improving lives and dealing with climate.

“Imagine flattening an irreplaceable grade I listed building like the Royal Albert Hall, replacing it with karaoke machines in various towns & then telling the public this is a ‘win-win’ for architecture & music” - brutally accurate analogy from @ruthtingay.bsky.social @wildjustice.bsky.social

Welcome back to Nature or No Nature! Rachel Reeves, your own experts say nature-friendly farming is vital for our food security, wildlife, & climate. Yet we hear you're set to slash the very funding it relies on. With the clock ticking, and our future to play for, can you answer this question...

When warnings of Insectageddon were issued a few years ago, there was widespread denial. Less so now. It's devastating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great piece from my colleague @jamesdinneen.bsky.social on the state of the carbon removal industry www.newscientist.com/article/2482...

Bottom trawling isn't just hugely destructive – it’s also unsustainably expensive. 💸 A ban in the UK’s offshore marine protected areas could deliver up to £3.5 billion in benefits over 20 years, while being 3X cheaper to enforce! It's time for a ban 👉 act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

Following my recent appearance on #GBNews, in which I called out the corruption of the fossil-fuel-owned ‘news’ outlet, I thought it best to do a deep-dive on just why UK #energy bills are so high. Read now! rupertsreads.substack.com/p/so-why-are...

An easy way to get involved and ask your MP and the government to really protect nature action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/171483/...

🌊 "We wanted to make sure the sea would never be out of sight & out of mind." 🪸 Sussex Underwater is a group of divers, beachgoers & sea lovers documenting the remarkable recovery of Sussex's inshore waters since trawling was banned. Full interview: uk.oceana.org/blog/sussex-...

The warning couldn’t be clearer. ⚠️ Slashing the nature-friendly farming budget would be catastrophic for the nature and climate crisis, and for our long-term food security. What's more, it would leave the UK Government’s credibility on climate and nature in tatters.

Thank you to Cambridge Independent @cambridgeindy.bsky.social for publishing a smashing piece about our action to Bring Science to Politics Science is political. For those who believe it isn't, just ask the scientists in the USA now.

How many warnings do we need? Time to get serious about tackling emissions and adapting to the new reality www.theguardian.com/environment/...

You couldn’t make it up - this is the same government that promised to deliver significant nature recovery - yet once again they’re slashing key nature funding & massively undermining farmers in the process. Madness

We’re calling on everyone who cares about nature: write to your MP now. Show them we won’t stand by while vital protections are ripped up: action.rspb.org.uk/page/159517/...

❌ 20,000+ hours of suspected bottom trawling WRECKED UK marine protected areas last year. 🚫 It’s a scandal. A ban is CRITICAL.   Our Campaigns Director @alyxcampaigns.bsky.social explains why there’s hope, but only if we act now.   👉 Email govt to demand a ban: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

In 3 months, bluefin tuna will be migrating back into our waters, where they'll be met with a fleet of commercial and recreational* fishers. It's a horrible way to welcome these magnificent, charismatic creatures. Let's try to get this to 250,000 before they arrive. www.change.org/p/protect-bl...

A marvellous piece from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social It is hard to believe that Starmer can be quite this stupid, but all the evidence certainly points that way www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Amazingly, it comes from a Labour MP! There are still some out there who seem to care about people, nature and climate www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨BREAKING: Thames Water will pay its executives MILLIONS in bonuses using money from its £3bn BAILOUT. Why are GREEDY water bosses being rewarded for destroying our rivers?

So much for the idea that climate attribution could become part of our weather bulletins

Some of the scientists who gathered in Parliament Square today have told a personal story about their involvement in climate action in this lovely book. Some testimonies are poignant, some funny, some insightful - and they’re all inspiring. Highly recommended!

Over 100k of you have spoken up for nature-friendly farming! To everyone who signed and shared - thank you. This is a clear demand for action, driven by those who care deeply about our countryside, wildlife, rivers & climate. Next week, we deliver it to Downing Street.
