Brazil’s state oil giant Petrobras has been cleared to drill near the mouth of the Amazon River, a move that threatens one of the planet’s most vital ecosystems. A ticking environmental time bomb. What will Lula say when he faces the world at COP30? www.reuters.com/business/ene...

So now we know why #Starmer and his cronies have so quickly backtracked on their c#climate promises. Worse than the Tories. Shameless bunch. #Labour Vote #green #fossilfuel #climatechange

🚨BREAKING: fossil fuel reps met government ministers 500+ times in Labour’s first year in power. 💀 That’s two meetings every working day, overshadowing the meetings held with climate and social justice groups by three to one (1/5)

Great! In 20 years cows might burp & fart out 40% less methane! But cattle farming will still drive deforestation, pollute rivers, erode soil & kill off countless species. So, in 20 years we’ll have less windy cows - but not much else! The simpler solution… STOP FARMING COWS!

A reminder.

The homes of a quarter of the animals that live in our oceans. Gone forever. We should grieve & know that these tipping points are gonna fall like dominoes. Now is not the time for ‘carrying on as normal’. All our homes are at risk.

From this piece by @billmckibben.bsky.social "If you grow an acre of corn, it will produce 900gal of ethanol, which will get you about 25k miles for a Ford F-150 pickup ...But let’s say we put solar on that same acre. It will produce enough electricity every year to drive my Lightning 550k miles”

Utterly beholden to lobbyists, staggeringly ignorant and dismissive of the natural world: Rachel Reeves might not look or sound like Donald Trump, but she is behaving very much like him. This government is even more of an ecological hazard than the Tories were. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

Remember that time when we lived through the three hottest years in around 125,000 years & no one was talking about it?

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

The brilliant @georgemonbiot.bsky.social at Stop Trump tears into this government. ‘By bringing the fascist in chief here, they dishonour us, and they dishonour themselves. By rolling out the red carpet for Trump, they roll out the red carpet for Farage.’

Over the weekend, the world's richest man appeared on screens in central London to call for a race war and for the UK government to be overthrown. No arrests were made in connection with that communication.

My son was 1 when leaders gathered in Paris & pledged to keep warming BELOW 1.5C. He’s now 11, & we’re spending our second year ABOVE 1.5C. They’ve doomed all our children because preserving a suicidal economy is more important. We. Should. Be. Furious.

Dear Prime Minister... "It is critically important that you and your Government stand up to President Trump and challenge him about his dangerous and irresponsible approach to #climate change, which is damaging the best interests of current and future generations in this country.”

hours after the government condemned racism and hate speech on the country’s streets, it welcomes the world’s foremost racist and user of hate speech

News nobody cares about: MP nobody has heard of leaves party nobody thinks about for party nobody likes.

Make it make sense! The only conclusion I can reach is that the Australian government is selling out the people it is supposed to represent.

Keir Starmer appoints new spokesperson to tackle the far-right & Elon Musk after he calls for the overthrow of the government

Far right organisers in this country consistently side with foreign billionaires over our democratic institutions. They are not patriots. They are quislings.

The people marching in London today are very obviously the ideological descendants of the Mosleyite BUF fascists of the 1930s. The mainstream news and media are too timid to point it out, but that's what they are - and we normalise it at our peril.

This is how you protect your democracy. The US is a demonstration of what happens when you don't. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Secret Report Undercuts U.K. Condemnations of Pro-Palestinian Group. The British government banned Palestine Action under an antiterrorism #law, but an intelligence document said most of its activity “would not be classified as #terrorism.” | #protest #dissent | www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

Men will build giant floating walls to prevent warm water from reaching ice shelves, and scatter microbeads onto sea ice to increase its reflectivity before just stopping the burning of fossil fuels www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

He massively admires Tommy Robinson... He was with Tommy Robinson the previous evening... Tommy Robinson gave him the flags... But this is a grassroots movement apparently

Opinion | Do we believe that Mandelson “acted with integrity” when he wrote “yum yum” on that card? No one could say it with a straight face. It was a travesty that Mandelson became US ambassador 🖋# @iandunt.bsky.social Read more: trib.al/4bDjC0A

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.

£2.3 million donated to Reform from #climate science deniers and #fossilfuel interests. About 92% of the party’s funding (2019-24). No wonder Nigel opposes #renewableenergy.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

Whatever CCS *could* be, it is and always has been a fossil fuel industry technology, designed to extend the lifespan and expand the scope of the combustion of coal, oil and gas, and worsen overheating. New @lindseygulden.bsky.social paper here -->>> www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Let's be clear: The flood of hatred sloshing across Britain right now is 100% a product of the political and media elite scapegoating minorities for the harms that those elites have visited upon the country.

1912 - it’s there in black & white! But 110 YEARS LATER governments subsidised the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $7 TRILLION! Billions of people will die not because climate collapse is unavoidable, but because elites decided our lives are less important than fossil fuel profits.

...of (often violent) anti-immigration protestors, compared to much larger numbers of peaceful climate protestors, makes it clear that coverage has nothing to do with tactics It simply depends on whether the protest is against the interests of the ruling class, or useful to it

Our kids currently face a future of 4C+. A future defined by hunger, civil unrest & societal collapse. Many refugees have already lived this future. And those profiting from stoking hate & anger towards the world’s most desperate people will not stop when our children are these people.

CO2 levels are 15ppm higher because of climate feedbacks impairing the ability of the land and seas 🌊 to take up some of the extra CO2 we're pumping into the atmosphere, according to ‪@pfriedling.bsky.social‬ 🧪 This was expected, but it's still not good www.newscientist.com/article/2492...

Deforestation decreases shade, reduces rainfall, and increases fire risk Where forests have been cleared, more people die

I don't know about you but I never had wildfires on my 'things for London to worry about' list

Reminder: people fleeing abject poverty in the hope of being able to work and send money home to support their family are not economic migrants. Rich people taking up residence in Monaco or Dubai are economic migrants.

Surely #bbc should rephrase this: ‘how much will climate change screw customers?’ Interviewing thick posh boy Tice? Seriously, ask him how much he personally has invested in fossil fuels. Shoddy journalism. Wrong side of history.

“…over half a million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic conditions characterized by starvation, destitution and death.”

Since #Brexit, UK now has lower standards than EU in: * protecting nature * water quality * air pollution * methane control * pesticides * chemicals * deforestation supply chains * waste reduction Only on marine protection does UK have a better story to tell www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Can't wait for the wall-to-wall media coverage of What This Means, the endless thinkpieces about Green Party dominance in a working class community meaning Labour has to take their concerns seriously and pivot towards them, you know like we'd get if Reform had won.

A policy that benefited the richest and cost the UK £100bn: it’s long past time to end the fuel duty freeze, writes Larry Elliott - Chancellors frozen the tax for motorists for 15 years, but this should be a no-brainer for cash-strapped Rachel Reeves www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Huge thanks to the dozens of climate scientists who sent us their rebuttals to the catalogue of outright falsehoods and misleading claims in Trump's new 'critical' climate report. This factcheck is the longest article CB has ever published - 27,500 words already and likely to keep growing...

The recent DOE climate science report misrepresents the work of many researchers. Carbon Brief asked those cited to review the parts of the report where their work was used, and we collectively found 100+ misleading or false statements: interactive.carbonbr...
