This could be a tipping point for decision makers across the UK: we're holding a National Emergency Briefing on the Climate and Nature crisis for national leaders at Westminster Central Hall, and you can help!...🧵

Short, simple, and to the point. A 1 minute read that says it all. #HyNot #CCSEmitsCO2 www.theguardian.com/news/2025/se...

Carbon capture as it's being proposed and implemented will *add* CO2 to the atmosphere - how can that help achieve Net Zero? (Even if 90% of CO2 from a fossil fuel source were captured (actual results are more like 50%) 10% is emitted. We need green solutions, not blue, grey, whatever) #Hynot

We all got that scary phone alert yesterday. Wildfires. Floods. Extreme weather. The UK govt knows the climate 💩 is about to hit the fan. So do the billionaires — who are quietly building bunkers. 🧵

💡🔥 AXA & AIG’s offices were lit up across 10 cities worldwide to launch our phase of action 8-22 September. We are exposing the truth: Big Insurance is fuelling climate chaos + genocide. From Manchester to Johannesburg, Paris to Auckland: insurers of destruction can’t hide. #InsureOurSurvival

Reform UK are yelling “drill, baby, drill” 🙄 But fracking is reckless & won’t even cut bills (quite apart from the climate damage). Time to end this nonsense. Tell Ed Miliband: BAN FRACKING permanently #NoNewFossilFuels #KeepGasInTheGround Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ke...

Good News! The Economist reports that the green transition is racing ahead in the global south (outstripping Europe). It's driven by economics - renewable energy is cheaper - and it's home grown releasing valuable foreign currency that was used to import oil www.economist.com/finance-and-...

A thoughtful and well researched report on why burning wood for power (and heat) is a poor choice. For instance, - if you think biomass is renewable, maybe you're right, but it takes 60-120 years for the emitted CO2 to be recaptured. In the meantime its an emitter. We can't afford that.

We've applied for a judicial review of the government decision to allow fossil fuel giant #Eni to store carbon dioxide in #LiverpoolBay using #CarbonCaptureAndStorage as part of the #HyNet scheme. We're working with @leigh-day.bsky.social on the legal proceedings.

“Drought in England is no longer a warning. It is a clear signal that climate collapse is unravelling our water, food and natural systems right now." #climatecrisis #drought www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

It's good to know that someone gets it. #TellTheTruth Miliband addresses MPs, telling them the UK is getting hotter and wetter with three times the number of days above 30°C. He says heat waves have led to 10,000 excess deaths in England over past 4 years. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Well done these 5,000 people who met with their MPs yesterday to demand more climate and nature action. They are the tip of the iceberg - almost everyone wants action (see photo). It's OK to talk about it - you are not alone. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A great call to replace conifer plantations with native woodlands simply by replanting with native trees in the normal cycle of forest management.

“you can’t claim to solve an intractable political problem by invoking imaginary scientific solutions.” @jamesgdyke.info

Creative protest opportunity... The Met Office is currently looking for people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. It would be great if we all suggested the same 5 names: BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, Shell. Met Office page is: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

Climate Crisis hits crop yields even if farmers adapt. Another climate denial myth exploded. "losses of 16% (soy), 7.7% (wheat) & 8.3% (corn) ... by 2100, even accounting for adaptation, rising incomes & the effect of plants growing faster due to extra CO2" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE Labour has FINALLY accepted defeat in our legal challenge of anti-protest powers We won this case in court twice - under both Conservative and Labour leadership Gov must now commit to reviewing ALL arrests made under these unlawful powers www.lbc.co.uk/news/exclusi...

We call on Herefordshire and Powys County Council to follow today’s High Court judgement. It is time to #SaveTheWye by rolling back the irresponsible & harmful mistakes made in failing to take account of ‘cumulative impact’ of industrial chicken farms on River Wye. riveractionuk.com/news/river-c...

We think it's going to be a scorcher this weekend with days of mire than 30°C in London, but not so far away it will be even hotter (40+°C) This is what is coming even to NW England if we don't #StopFossilFuels

Fascinating insights here from a #Bradford study on #AirPollution & mental #Health. "Policy makers should be considering initiatives to reduce pollution and improve the quality of public realm space in inner-city areas via investment in regeneration, public transport and traffic reduction.”

"A lot of people have speculated at what this means. I myself have stated that we need more batteries and grid forming transformers that can stabilize the grid much better than the conventional inertia and voltage control that failed here." - @aukehoekstra.bsky.social 2/2

Shockingly arrogant! Ghana has become a “fast fashion graveyard” with 15 million items dumped there every week. The worst contributor is the UK! Dumped clothes leach microplastics or toxic fumes if burnt. Join me and sign the petition demanding a strong Global Plastics Treaty act.gp/4iing7G

Is there no end to the damage banks will enable? High Street names are pouring money into fossil fuel projects that we can't afford. You can www.switchit.green to put your money with a bank that doesn’t enable climate and environmental destruction. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Liquified gas is a disaster for the climate, will push up households' bills, and is a danger to people living near the drilling, liquification, transport and storage facilities Governments and the EU should ban new fossil fuel infrastructure

🚨 Act Now: protest rights are under attack. Next week, Parliament debates the Crime and Policing Bill which contains dangerous new measures that would further restrict our right to protest Write to your MP to demand they oppose this undemocratic bill palestinecampaign.eaction.online/righttoprotest

Reform wants expensive ⚡️electricity⚡️Do you? Of course you don't. But that's not stopping them from trying to force it on you. Their opposition to everything net zero means they don't like cheap electricity for you (renewables are cheapest). They want costly power. #ReformHatesCheapElectricity

Amnesty Oyé at Ullet Road Methodist Church today. (Instead of in Sefton Park) The climate crisis will have a huge effect on people - especially in the global south - through drought, floods, heat and air quality. #NoMoreFossilFuels www.amnesty.org.uk/events/amnes...

This chart from The Economist is good news for health and climate in London. It's the result of many decisions - like treating bikes equally by marking parking spots (10 bikes in the space of 1 car). Who's next? Manchester? @andyburnham.bsky.social London has become a cycling city. May 22, 2025

I've signed this open letter calling on the Prime Minister to give more time for the #CANBill debate—and deliver the #REALChange we need. We need action for a greener, healthier, happier future—where people and nature can thrive. Will you add your name too? action.zerohour.uk @zero-hour.bsky.social

There's a version for every constituency of this open letter calling for a focus on the future of people not corporations. We can show the Prime Minister what we want.

A just transition away from fossil fuels would cost only 11% of the £17.5bn annual subsidy the industry receives. Seems like a no-brainer to reduce the subsidy of a sunset industry to prepare for the future. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Business as usual for fossil fuel companies is lobbying to protect their climate-killing ways. Let's send a message to the UN that their lobbyists are not welcome. Act.gp/3YxOUXa

We mourn the death of the 1.5°C climate goal with a funeral march through Cambridge Led by 50 Red Rebels, we carried a black casket and dropped a banner: “No future on a dead planet” The crisis is here The time to act is now ➡️ JoinXR.UK #ExtinctionRebellion #ActNow No Future On A Dead Planet

Looking forward to joining with hundreds of scientists next Tuesday in Westminster Will be talking about my new campaign supported by @mpwatch.bsky.social & @zero-hour.bsky.social demanding Govt applies science to Carbon Capture policy Watch out for more 👉 tinyurl.com/CCS-CAMPAIGN

This deliberate vandalism is why action against banks like Christian Climate Action NW and our joint monthly vigil outside Barclays Liverpool is important. We should starve these banks of the legitimacy they gain (but don't deserve) by being a High Street name. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trees on Trains action today to mark Drax's AGM. The trees travelled on the Liverpool Lime Street to Edge Hill line that's parallel to the track used by the Drax train to highlight Drax's greenwash and greed for subsidies. #AxeDrax

The Christian Climate Action NW and XR Merseyside die in under the Helios art installation at Liverpool Cathedral recognised those who have already died from the climate crisis, those who will, and that it is not the Sun causing the crisis, but mankind's use of fossil fuels.

11. The bill is in Committee Stage in Parliament. Please lobby your MP over it. Please demonstrate. Please show that we do not consent to the destruction of the few scraps of wildlife and habitat England retains.

8. Ancient woodlands replaced by saplings in plastic tubes, ancient meadows by a reseeded verge, chalkstreams ... oh, sod the chalkstreams. As building land is expensive, and farmland much cheaper, any "replacement" habitat will be shifted far from where people live. Goodbye contact with nature.

2. It's an extraordinary thing, this bill, drafted with no input whatever from anyone with environmental expertise. In fact, inputs from professional bodies and scientists working on environmental issues appear to have been systematically struck down. The government does not want this scrutiny.

We were both warning about attempts to financialise nature more than a decade ago. Incredible that this is being turbo charged by a Labour government. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Gill is one of hundreds of people marching today with Just Stop Oil. Listen to her reasons for joining our final action ⬇️

BREAKING: 👀ALL EYES ON STARMER. We’ve joined a massive coalition outside a UK energy summit—hijacked by Big Oil & Trump’s ‘Drill Baby Drill’ agenda - to demand Starmer honours the gov's pledge: No new oil & gas. #StopRosebank
