Deep sea miners thought it would be easy to start mining the Arctic seafloor… 🤨 But thanks to campaigning, Norway has just halted all deep sea mining development! Wherever this industry tries to start, it fails. We can protect the oceans from extraction 💪 www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

“We should be focusing on water reuse, using less water in the first place, separating drinking water from those recycled waters that we could use, using nature-based solutions, and thinking about the way that we’re building developments” UK needs adaptation www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Professor of Biodiversity Nathalie Seddon @biology.ox.ac.uk says only 7% of our forests are healthy, and depleted marshes and soils put over 5 million homes at risk of flooding. @wwf.org.uk showed over half of voters think the gov is not doing enough to protect nature.

Director of Policy Solutions @angelaisfranc.bsky.social says Gov needs to change the rules to shift away from destructive industries, eg big agriculture, and create transition. Fossil fuel economy is doomed. 0.2% of UK GDP to meet CCC recommendations, and fast transition is cheaper & essential.

Lt Gen Richard Nugee says climate is a threat multiplier. Iraq, Afghanistan, and other wars created and affected by climate. Conflict in Arctic Sea likely, and food shortages/floods to create civil unrest in UK. Cuts to fossil fuels essential for national security and reducing global wars.

Prof of Medicine @hughmontgomery.bsky.social says climate is biggest risk to health. “I am scared” he says. Web of impacts of climate lead to wars and societal collapse. Plant-based diets and cuts to new oil and gas are among the tools Gov needs to promote.

Food security scientist @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social says farmers don’t know how to get through the next floods and droughts. Gov needs to support plan-rich diets to support farmers and health and reduce food waste for cleaner air & water for healthy people, soils, nature, and climate.

Professor of Climate Change Tim Lenton @exeter.ac.uk describes tipping points cascades. Coral reefs appear to be doomed. AMOC collapse will both freeze and superheat UK, and halve wheat and maize globally. Positive tipping points, eg death of oil & gas from policy are essential for survival.

Extreme weather scientist @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social says fossil fuels will make 8 million UK homes at risk of flooding by 2050. Heat will bring more UK wildfires. Healthy people can die within hours of extreme heat in eg. India. Permanent crisis management avoided by urgent cuts of fossil fuels.

Climate scientist @kevinclimate.bsky.social says “we need to eliminate fossil fuels”. Societal and ecological collapse at 3-4C warming. For <2C, the UK has 7 years of current CO2 emissions. Drax and CCS are delay tech. Heat pumps, good public transport, and deep cuts of aviation are essential.

Environmental lawyer @tessakhan.bsky.social says only 7% of our forests are healthy, and depleted marshes and soils put over 5 million homes at risk of flooding. @wwf.org.uk showed over half of voters think the gov is not doing enough to protect nature.

The chair Tim Berners-Lee @timbl.bsky.social said we need to be brave, and to celebrate the MPs who attended the session who showed steps of bravery by stepping into this space

The National Emergency Briefing @nebriefing.bsky.social in Westminster today is a call to action for politicians. @chrisgpackham.bsky.social started with “let’s work on creating hope, where there isn’t much of it left”

9/ @tessakhan.bsky.social - I have huge respect for your work with Uplift - deep thanks. You have been totally pivotal in the good news story in the NSFP. However as above, there is also a bad news story which keeps fossil lock-in, and is a win for FF lobbyists influencemap.org/report/The-U...

8/ I also submitted evdience to the NSFP consultation itself tinyurl.com/SIG-NORTH-SE...

7/ FYI, I have made submissions based on the latest science on many of these gas/LNG based CCS schemes coming forward and supported in the NSFP eg: Acorn in Scotland scrapcc.org/PETERHEAD ; Keadby gas/hydrogen co-firing plant scrapcc.org/KEADBY-RR ; Teesside blue hydrogen plant scrapcc.org/H2T

6/ ... The fossil fuel industry have won with this aspect of the NSFP, and the Government have failed us, and also not listened to scientists warning on this www.theguardian.com/environment/...

3/ ... so the plan is not climate friendly at all. It transfers most of the problem away from UK sources of O&G, but massively increases it via ex-terriorial supply chains. Read more here: scrapcc.org/BLOG

2/ However, the North Sea Future Plan still promotes carbon capture and hydrogen in a big way. Where these are based on gas supply chains (ie gas with CCS, blue hydrogen or hydrogen co-firing with gas), they still lock in fossil fuels and genearte large upstream emissions ...

🧵 /1 Hi @tessakhan.bsky.social - Thank you for your work. You and Uplift have succeeded here - you deserve huge credit 🙏🙏 Think you are right on North Sea O&G exploration and extraction now ... as long as there is still not a way for Govt to sign-off Rosebank in the small print (still a concern)

🔔 It’s budget week! 🔔 The Mirror has published polling that reveals the truth: most people in the UK *genuinely support tax rises to fund public services*, provided tax is done fairly with _the ultra wealthy footing most of the bill._ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

“It isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.” Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

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

"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"

Yesterday, Southern Water admitted to losing millions of plastic beads after initially denying it. Helena Dollimore MP now calls for them to clean up the coastline; disclose contents of the beads; fund nature restoration; and investigate how the spill happened. @dirtywatercampaign.bsky.social

The large increase from 2018-2021 was driven by #Climate activism. Lesson: The widespread mobilisation of the climate emergency movement ( @fridaysforfuture.bsky.social @xrglobal.bsky.social, @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social @endegelaende.bsky.social ) was crucial for creating political salience

It is not clear who has dumped the enormous mound of shredded plastic waste, but it is believed to have been dumped by an organised crime group or groups.⬇️

The field where the dump is located floods regularly, prompting serious concern from Thames21 that tonnes of plastic could soon be washed directly into the River Cherwell and on into the River Thames, polluting hundreds of miles of waterways and damaging ecosystems.⬇️

🌦️The UK is increasingly breaking heat and rainfall records due to the climate emergency, the Met Office has warned.🌊There’s no doubt that our rivers will need to become more climate resilient to cope with these changes. 🧵⬇️

👀 While the fossil fuel industry sells carbon capture as a means of “cleaning up” their carbon emissions, more than 70% of captured carbon is used to extract more oil. Carbon capture 🟰 More #FossilFuel extraction.

What is the big deal? #CarbonCapture could worsen the #ClimateCrisis. Polluters push carbon capture and storage as a means of trapping their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, transporting them, and burying them underground. The technology is: 👿 dangerous, 👿 expensive, and 👿 proven to fail.

The number of Carbon Capture and Storage #CCS lobbyists infiltrating #COP30 🐍 is higher than the combined national delegations from the G7 countries (481).
