Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

Too many celebrities think that keeping honeybees addresses the #BiodiversityEmergency. Such a shame, they could do so much more with their money.

I urge all policymakers to attend this vital briefing on the climate & nature crisis, which brings the latest science from leading experts straight to the people in power. I’d like to see one in every country, & the organizers are open to sharing the model. More info: www.nebriefing.org

I'm not religious but - Is Trump the antichrist? "When power, wealth, violence, control, patriarchy or divisiveness become the main game of any Christian movement, we need to ask hard questions...... what we are seeing might really be evil, in apparently Christian guise" tinyurl.com/3zpj3vc8

Insects need all the help and understanding they can get ... so this would be a rewarding career... after all, insects are the bedrock of our ecosystem.

😡"Nimby opposition to #nuclear waste dumps in the English countryside could be bypassed as @Ed_Miliband considers scrapping the need for local consent. A review has been launched by @energygovuk which could scrap the need for public votes" #StopSizewellC www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Appalling, #Labour promised 'change' but it's more of the same! Ex Nuclear Minister, Lord Hunt, happy to trash environment to pursue 'growth' & endorses nuclear regulation hatchet job from right-wing thinktank, Britain Remade👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

D'oh! Pyke blames #Homer for nuclear's failings. Reality is Sizewell C is EDF's flawed EPR design that's already doubled in cost- to be built on one of Europe's fastest eroding coasts in UK's most drought prone region- a financial & environmental disaster! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good news- TACS’s JR claim for Sizewell C’s DCO to be revoked or varied has been granted a High Court permission hearing- our case: it's unlawful to delay for decades public scrutiny of 2 huge add’l sea defences kept secret by EDF since 2015 Plse donate/RT www.crowdjustice.com/case/sizewel...

This is the most anti-science thing I have watched today. What is most shocking about this is all of these statements are being made without any scientific evidence to back it up. There are very few safe options to treat pain and fever in pregnancy so this is also an attack on women's health.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Another cracking blog from Nick MacKinnon on craziness of windfarm plans on Walshaw Moor. Guest blog; markavery.info/2025/09/20/g... Nick & Ali don't put a foot wrong - unlike the developers who plan to put roads in impossible terrain. Our guest blogger is dogged in his dissection of the issues.

Hoop, hoop, hoop. Just sayin'.

@greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social Gatwick is a disaster - for the climate, yes, but also any remaining wildlife in the area. Please remember #biodiversity #bioabundance are as important as the climate - twin disasters

This petition has only 2 days to go and today's papers talk about approval of another runway at Gatwick @flightfreeuk.bsky.social @gpsshoreditch.bsky.social petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Southend Council is still using the controversial weedkiller glyphosate despite a pledge to phase it out. Read which places it’s still used: ⬇️ Christine Sexton reports.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Can’t get enough of this. @raskin.house.gov rubbing Nigel Farage’s nose in his self-confessed love of Putin as he’s forced to sit & watch is delicious beyond words

The point is that many can live quite normally under the thumb of authoritarianism. Yes: many suffer and suffer now but large swaths of the American public chooses to be clueless and it’s not difficult. This is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper. www.vox.com/the-big-idea...

"Having previously resisted calls to kick Musk out of the Royal Society, its president Adrian Smith has now written to fellows to say its governing council will discuss the matter at a meeting on 1 October." Should it have even got this far?

In June 2024, 80,000 of us marched peacefully to #RestoreNatureNow with hardly a mention in the media. Were we supposed to have thrown stones and fought the police to be noticed? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

As for biodiversity, a brand new study also confirms what's well established: overall ruminant meat, especially from grazing animals (which require more land, entailing more carbon & biodiversity opportunity costs) has the biggest 'extinction footprint' of all foods: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Photobombing the war criminals. In addition to backing Israel's genocide in Gaza, Trump's nukes in Britain put us on the nuclear front line of any war between NATO and Russia. Keir Starmer must make a public statement in Parliament and #KickOutTrumpsNukes!

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

We're going into a cosy civil nuclear arrangement with USA now? Labour really are blinkered on the subject of nuclear power @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social @stopsizewellc.bsky.social @sayno2sizewellc.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social

There. Is. No. Such. Thing. Cattle ranching is among the most destructive of all the world's industries. "Regenerative" cattle ranching is simply greenwash.

How do we fix this mess?

To stop Reform in their tracks and challenge this failing Labour government - we need to grow our team of MPs. We're planning to have brilliant candidates across England & Wales. Never been involved with politics before? That's fine. Often even ideal! Check out below. 👇🏼

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

Well… you have to say that, if Labour had started a year ago with anything like this kind of rhetoric & clarity, we’d be in a totally different place. Impressive start from Zack Polanski - & while it’s unlikely this will be seen by millions, it should be: youtu.be/1KsgxOrgbOA?...

Liverpool Central Library has an Audubon's Birds of America displayed in the Oak Room. In 2013 the Passenger Pigeon plate was on show on this day. What page is open today? If you visit - let me know, plz. Modern editions are in the library - the original in the case is worth $$$millions

I wrote a book about how the Passenger Pigeon lived, how it was driven to extinction, what other abundant species went extinct or had very close shaves in the conquest of North America by Europeans and why we should still care. Reviews of my book: markavery.info/books/messag...
