As Trump’s UN speech made clear (once again), the world can no longer look to the US for leadership. From climate denial to Tylenol misinfo, his politically expedient war on science and observable reality will only make the world more vulnerable. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🧪

Hard to see how the UK gov’s air travel policies square with their existing commitments to ‘net zero’ by 2050 - let alone staying within our fair share of carbon emissions, which we are set to blow past by 2027 🤔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🧪

🚨TODAY in London 🚨 Join SGR and others standing up for science, peace, and planetary security at the "Trump Not Welcome" demonstration ✊ 📍ASSEMBLE: 2PM Portland Place W1B 📍RALLY: 5PM Parliament Square stoptrump.org.uk/protest/ 🧪

Military spending is soaring, and so are emissions. Yet poor data lets governments shirk responsibility. As Dr Stuart Parkinson argues, we must demand transparency, disarmament, and peacebuilding if we are to avert catastrophic climate change. theecologist.org/2025/sep/16/... 🧪

1/🚨 New SGR report out today: Military Spending Rises and Greenhouse Gas Emissions The evidence is clear: higher military spending will have devastating consequences for the planet. Here’s what the research reveals 🧵 www.sgr.org.uk/publications... 🧪

❌ Record military spending blocks peace and climate action. As the latest report of the UN Secretary General (citing SGR) warns: armed forces drive 5.5% of global emissions, all while starving health, education, and climate of funding. www.undp.org/press-releas... 🧪

This week the DSEI, one of the world’s biggest arms fairs, is happening in London. Our new campaigner, Laura, has joined the demonstrations on the ground. ✊ If you are in London, there’s still time to stand up against the arms trade. 👇 caat.org.uk/events/stopd...

@andrewsimms.bsky.social reflects on how SGR’s science-based campaigning on nuclear weapons helped to spark the idea for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty - to keep fossil fuels in the ground and drive a just transition to clean energy. www.sgr.org.uk/resources/ca... 🧪

Trump’s attempt to rebrand the “Department of Defence” as the “Department of War” to “project strength and resolve” will do nothing to prevent future conflict. Another reminder of why he couldn’t be less deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize. www.bbc.com/news/article... 🧪

1/4 Attacks on the integrity of science and scientific institutions by the Trump administration are being catalogued by the US-based Union of Concerned Scientists. It has been called 'unprecedented' and a 'blitzkrieg' by The Scientist magazine, and fierce and 'indiscriminate' by the Economist. 🧪

Yet another example of the climate + environmental impacts of the UK military... 385 wildfires on MoD land caused by military practice since Jan 2023. Often left to burn due to unexploded ordnance risk, leading to habitat destruction and dangerous air pollution. www.bbc.com/news/article... 🧪

ICYMI: SGR director Andrew Simms argues that Labour needs to rethink its approach to climate and inequality to deliver national renewal, or face electoral wipeout and leave the UK exposed to worsening climate impacts. theecologist.org/2025/aug/21/... 🧪

At 11.02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, the sky above Nagasaki was filled by a white flash and all the clocks stopped. A gigantic mushroom-shaped cloud soared up towards the blue sky and left a devastated city behind. #Nagasaki80 #NuclearBan www.icanw.org/remembering_...

Nearly 40 years since the last UN study on nuclear conflict, a new independent scientific panel has been convened to assess the global, catastrophic risks. With the threat of nuclear war at its highest in decades, scientific expertise is needed now more than ever. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The UK is set to purchase at least 12 new nuclear-capable F-35A fighter jets, further undermining its commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Here's a reminder of the immense destructive potential of the UK’s existing nuclear arsenal 👇 www.sgr.org.uk/resources/uk... 🧪

🚨 New Article: Military spending and military emissions. As NATO states ramp up military spending to 3.5 - 5% of GDP, the climate impact is being ignored. Emissions from arms, bases, and supply chains are vast, and vastly underreported. www.sgr.org.uk/resources/mi... 🧪

The UK is set to return to Cold War era levels of military spending, with 3.5% GDP committed to rearmament and a further 1.5% for cyber and intel. NATO’s 5% target will add CO2 equivalent to Brazil + Japan’s annual emissions by 2030 when we need drastic cuts. www.tni.org/en/publicati... 🧪
