Antarctic lost 1,105,000 km, down to 3rd and at 14,065,000km and approx 1.2 million km below average. Arctic sea ice volume still worst ever.

Here is an excellent summary of last week's National Emergency Briefing in London. Well worth a watch and please sign the letter to the Prime Minister linked at the end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sa7... #climatechange #impacts #energy #health #tippingpoints #nationalsecurity #foodsecurity

Your 'doom quote' for today: "we offer this stark warning: if humanity fails to combat the great global crises we face today, there won't be an Earth--at least not one that we'd recognize." www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/micha...

Farage and his clownshow promised to audit councils and save money. The audits were a no start because of data protection. Would you want this racist scum having access to your data, and they haven’t saved a brass penny. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ken...

There are over 1️⃣6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ gas & oil lobbyists at COP30 👇 What a shocking failure. Would you allow tobacco lobbyists into a world health conference? There will be 0️⃣ lobbyists at the National Emergency Briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis on 27th November. Is your MP attending? www.nebriefing.org

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable cities.

Had a recoded “2 min time out” on Radio Sheffield this morning. Glad I didn’t have to go in as my recording was aired at 6.24am - very early for a Sunday morning. Although they cut it a little the opinion piece is called “HOPIUM, HYPOCRISY and HATE”. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This has been obvious to anyone paying attention for a long time, but renewables and electrification are destroying a lot of fossil fuel demand and will continue to do so. www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all. Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks. And every day we are growing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Yet more evidence corporate climate action saves money, which stands to reason when you consider it is primarily about doing things more efficiently and with lower risk. www.businessgreen.com/news/4521607...

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Last Saturday my little community raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they turn into 100,000 meals. I run a meme account and have done more for the hungry in this country than the president, who is intentionally starving women and children for no reason.

Ration flying now True impact of your flying several times higher than commonly used CO₂ calculators suggest For example current calculations for first class from Singapore to Zurich on B777 plane, say it emits 5000 kg when in fact its 14,000 kg #climate www.newscientist.com/article/2502...

Every minute spent convincing climate deniers costs one life. Millions die each year because we’ve failed to tackle the climate crisis: from floods, wildfires, and toxic air to deadly heatwaves and diseases. We urge the EU: stand firm at COP30. Don’t bow to fossil fuel giants.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

Post 334 (incl posts on X): Cryospheres - worryingly trend developing? Arctic gained 897,000km, down to 5th. Antarctic lost 281,000 km, kept at 3rd. Antarctica 16,680,000 km and approx 1.1 million km below average. Arctic 7,024,000km & 2.2 million km below average. Arctic sea ice volume uncertain?

Here's something that's not talked about enough The air pollution from burning fossil fuels kills an estimated 10 million people a year 1 in 6 deaths is caused by fossil fuels www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

These deaths could are avoidable. Switching to renewables would save these lives. We are faced with a choice, save lives or kill people. As a society we need to actively choose to do the right thing.

Post 333 (incl. posts on X): Both cryospheres worse this week, Arctic gained 316,000km, down to 8th. Antarctic lost 303,000 km, kept at 3rd. Antarctica 16,961,000 km and approx 1.1 million km below average. Arctic 6,127,000km approx 2.5 million km below average. Also Arctic sea ice volume still low.

Rishi Sunak is as rich as the King. But in 2022, he paid the same tax rate as *a nurse*. Our tax system is broken. Right now, multimillionaires like Sunak hoard wealth, while 1/3 kids grow up in poverty. Enough. We're forcing a reckoning. Can you support us? www.gndrising.org/campaigns/fu...

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Look what showed up in the mail! First copies of my book from @mitpress.bsky.social 🎉📚 Official release Nov 25th. If you're interested in using the book for a course, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Antifa again terrorizing the community with music, smiles, and civic joy. Imagine the horror of people being fed from gardens, reading in libraries, honoring MLK, and driving Subarus. Civilization clearly hanging by a thread of decency.

Arctic 5,811,000km approx 2.3 million km below average. Finally Arctic sea ice volume still VERY low.

PM Carney once called climate change “the most pressing issue of our time.” So why then is his government fast-tracking fossil fuel projects that turbo-charge these types of climate disasters? Our latest blog warns that this approach puts Canada’s climate goals and our communities' health at risk.

Much of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado & Arizona will step out Friday into temps 5°–15°F above average. 🔴Climate Shift Index shows this unusual early-October warmth like this is made more likely across the South & Southwest by human-caused climate change

Wildfires aren’t just getting bigger. They’re getting massively more expensive. A new study shows the most destructive fires are happening more often, fueled by climate change, urban sprawl, and decades of fire suppression. @umairfan.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4635...
