World’s biggest offshore wind farm takes shape off Yorkshire coast, set to transform the region. A BVG Associates report says Dogger Bank will add £6.1bn to the UK economy over 45 years, giving an immediate boost to Yorkshire and creating thousands of jobs. www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2158...

In the #UK top experts held an official briefing for Members of Parliament on the latest science about the climate and nature crisis. Leaders in every country need to hear, understand and take action on the present and escalating risks. @nebriefing.bsky.social youtu.be/lpLxLp4j07Y?... 🧵...

Earth's Energy Imbalance was over 10 Hiroshima bombs per second for the 4-year running average (showing less variability) too.. This rate of global heat uptake is impossible for us tiny humans to fathom.

This is huge: For the first time since the early 1970s, coal power generation has fallen in both China & India. It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Important and timely wide-ranging interview with one of the world's most influential climate scientists. Some of what he tells @rtmcswee.carbonbrief.org is, frankly, breathtaking. A call to action for all scientists, not just those focused on climate change.

The world is losing more and more of its precious #forests to #wildfires www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Fine-particulate and ozone air pollution from fossil fuels causes 4-6 million avoidable deaths per year: 7-10% of all deaths worldwide. At an ~$11 million statistical value of life, this is a 44-66 trillion $/yr (38-56% of ~117 T$/yr global GDP) cost that appears nowhere in fossil fuel economics.

This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication. I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵

Australia & South Africa share similar latitudes, & similar climates. It's not surprising that both countries are experiencing simultaneous extreme fires & floods at the same time. 400,000+ hectares of bushfire in AU + tropical cyclone in one week. 🇦🇺 🇿🇦 🌏 ♻️ 🌱 #ClimateAction #SouthAfrica #Australia

2025 was the hottest year on record for ocean heat content. Unfortunately, we now say this every year. 🥹 "In addition to setting a new record in 2025, the global ocean continues to show sustained and intensified warming." + #OpenAccess Study: doi.org/10.1007/s003... + Data: www.ocean.iap.ac.cn

Europe’s forests are weakening under heat, drought & pests, yet climate targets rely on them. This is dangerous says PIK DIrector Rockström because "countries can use their carbon sink from forests to say they're net zero without fully phasing out fossil fuels.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hi @rory-stewart.bsky.social & @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social! Vital information was shared with over 1,200 people in Westminster at the National Emergency Briefing It now needs to reach a much wider public You could help open up serious national discussion on issue of genuine importance 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

These 39 are prisoners of conscience, who acted where governments failed, against #genocide, against #climate collapse and in defence of our right to #protest None should be in jail.

4pm today, in our borough. So if you can please join them in support of Kamran Ahmed who's over 2 months on #hungerstrike and near death in Pentonville prison. As we know #climate activists have also been subject to draconian sentences for acting to protect life. This is no different.

#fossilfuel #CO2 emissions hit a record high last year news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-e...

Meat-rich and wet dog foods are linked to significantly higher greenhouse gas emissions than dry options, with UK dog food production accounting for about 1% of the nation’s total emissions.

As everyone talks about Greenland, don't forget its actual global significance--a two mile thick sheet of ice that if melted would raise the sea level 23 feet (and long before that choke off the currents of the Atlantic) open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

🔥🌍 The biggest barrier to climate solutions isn’t just denial, it’s propaganda that shapes what we believe is possible. Fossil fuel narratives define what counts as ‘practical’ and subtly limit our imagination. 🎧 Listen, share, and help reshape the conversation. 🔄

Trump admits US oil execs were informed of the US attack on #Venezuela - called “brazenly illegal” by experts - prior to the coup. Meanwhile, his administration has justified not consulting US lawmakers beforehand due to concerns a leak would compromise operational security🙄 bsky.app/profile/comm...

Release: Greenpeace International Calls for Protection of Venezuelan People Amid Oil-Driven US Intervention “Venezuela’s future won’t be built on oil or military force. It’s time for climate finance and a just transition that puts people, dignity, and a fossil-free future first."

More wars and military intervention over the control of #fossilfuels when fossil fuels are destroying a liveable #climate and war itself has a hugely damaging ecological impact are the very last thing humanity (and any other species) needs.

Developers call it unused land. #wildlife calls it all they have left. #nature

Humanity emitted more greenhouse gases last year than any previous year ever.

This moment matters and YOU can be part of changing the story. The climate and nature crises aren’t distant problems but existential threats to our health, food, communities and future generations.

Many proposed climate solutions work well, and are ready to go *now*. Those are the ones to focus on. Others will take more time to develop. They might help a little, someday. And some don't make sense and are unlikely to work at all. How do you tell the difference? drawdown.org/insights/cli...
