Merry Christmas! 🎶🥦🎄 youtu.be/_rUhvnhXMb4?...

Final show of the year and we couldn't go out without discussing the rise of eco-populism and @zackpolanski.bsky.social. Thanks to everyone that watched this year, stay tuned for more News from World in Flux with @claretotty.bsky.social & @charliejgardner.bsky.social in 2026! youtu.be/P-FU_zuS3dE

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population. The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined. Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.

A great discussion about how to build grassroots power. Essential viewing! 👀

😂

Why are jury trials under attack by the UK government? Let's look at some of the things juries have decided recently for clues. 🧵

With a potential rightwing authoritarian waiting in the wings, it is insanely short-sighted of the government to fix a funding issue by the removal of the fundamental check on power that juries provide. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

70 years ago today, Rosa Parks became a legend Tired after a long day at work & fed up with the injustice of it all, one day she sat on a ‘whites-only’ bus seat and, when asked to move, decided on the spot to refuse She was arrested, and her courage sparked an uprising Or so the story goes 🧵1/

Things are looking grim. Is it time to take geo-engineering seriously? @claretotty.bsky.social and @charliejgardner.bsky.social delve into this thorny issue in this new episode of News from a World in Flux. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c06f...

This is why a 1% wealth tax is insufficient. Yes we should redistribute their money, but more importantly we should redistribute their power. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Profoundly infuriating. Every single barrel of oil pumped moves us deeper into dangerous climate change. The science is absolutely clear about this: the carbon budget to limit to 1.5°C is practically gone. Tipping points loom. We need rapid fossil fuel PHASE OUT. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trial by jury, seen as the cornerstone of democracy and the rule of law in Britain for over a thousand years... Our rights are slowly and surely being eroded.

Treeplanter is an upcoming sandbox where you can build the woodland of your dreams! Each copy sold will help fund the planting of real trees in partnership with woodland charities 💚 Thank you #CozyQuest2025 for the feature!

Taking no chances in the blue zone. #COP30 😉

This is deeply troubling. Juries are a cornerstone of democracy. There should be more citizen involvement in the state not less. ⚖️ www.theguardian.com/law/2025/nov...

This looks cool 👀

Last few protest photos from inside #COP30. 🪧

I love the design and stark messaging of the Planetary Science Pavilion at #COP30 highlighting the interconnectivity of the planetary crises. 🌎🧑‍🔬

Some photo highlights from week 1 of #COP30. 1/ Blue zone 🟦

If it's not disruptive, it's not a protest! 💪 Another great episode of the Climate Deniers Playbook podcast from @climatetown.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_0L...

🎉 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great news for Bill Gates, seizing the assets of billionaires is a solution to both. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sate owned fossil fuel companies are going to be much harder to dismantle than private one - @hankgreen.bsky.social explains! 🛢️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj_J...

What a great protest design! 🔥

If you're curious about practical methods and in-depth critical takes on how to work on sustainability in and through games and play, have we got the book for you! Preorder now, with our full release November 17th: www.routledge.com/The-Game-Nee...

💚 A massive thank you to the ART FACTORY. They created so much, not only for XR, but for others in the ecology of movements too. Their generosity, skills and #imagination helped others too - they were always willing to reach out, helping many groups to achieve #socialchange. #Artivism

Greta Thunberg releases a video describing the conditions faced by Palestinian adults and children in Israeli custody after her release.

Just played Messenger! What a fun little free web-game for those that like delivering mail on Japanese themed tiny worlds. 💌🌏 messenger.abeto.co

Bit by bit the veneer of democracy continues to be eroded... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

A great video about Saudi Arabia's continued use of fossil fuel money to culture-wash its reputation. 🛢️🕹️

Want to know what climate sensitivity is and why it's probably higher than first thought? 🌡️ @claretotty.bsky.social and @charliejgardner.bsky.social discuss in this new episode: youtu.be/RhS7hOZRjtc

😙👌

Over 1.1m people have already signed a petition against Kier Starmer's terrible ID card scheme and it's only been a few hours since it was announced. lol petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

So we're putting in a mass digital id database immediately before a potential Reform government that will use it to deport and brutalise millions of people? Your local supermarket refusing to let you buy food without your id card in 2030 cos right to work checks morphed into right to eat checks.

Happy Southward Equinox everyone! 🌗

This feels like one of those books that all humans should read. With 12,000 years of case studies Luke Kemp lays out a compelling theory of civilizational collapse and what it means for where our current society is heading. Spoiler alert, it's likely nowhere good. www.penguin.co.uk/books/321192...

Great atmosphere in the climate block of the @makethempay.bsky.social march. Let's abolish the rich y'all (or at least make them pay for all the damage they've done). 🤑

I've signed up!

It's exciting to see that sortition and assemblies are going to be a large part of "YourParty". Are we on the verge of a shift in power away from the elites in the UK? Also great publicity for the sortition themed game I'm working on! 😀 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Some alarming current news🌊: "if carbon emissions continued to rise, 70% of the model runs led to collapse" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I have been catching up on the excellent Exploits of Play podcast from @maxhaiven.bsky.social . This episode on the role of playfulness in direct action is particularly worth a listen! weirdeconomies.com/contribution...

We had a break over the summer but @charliejgardner.bsky.social and @claretotty.bsky.social are now back with more hot takes on the latest news for the climate movement. 🔥🎙️ youtu.be/uXMfKCz_DOE

Focusing on bats and newts is a cynical attempt to reframe nature as nothing more than a triviality But nature is our life support system Conservation isn't just about helping other species - it's also about maintaining the conditions that allow us to thrive

It took some late nights, but I managed to get something submitted to my first game jam. Citizens Assemble! from @globalgamejam.bsky.social . Check it out here: alexorkid.itch.io/thekingssort... Would love to know what people think.

Big news for those that like gaming and authoritarian petro-states. 🎮🛢️ observer.co.uk/news/busines...

This is the worst Tory government yet.

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

Great explainer from PBS Terra on the latest wet bulb event research 🌡️🥵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hBM...

Happy Northern Solstice from the Prime Meridian! 🌇

WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION The suggestion to consider Palestine Action as a proscribed group is a gross violation of UK law, opposes the definition of what a terrorist actually does, and insults the memories of victims both of genuine terrorism and of the genocide in Palestine. 1/3
