This includes scientists, whose expert testimonies have been banned from court because they consider climate science not to be relevant to the defence of climate protesters, such as the testimony from @profbillmcguire.bsky.social

💥 BREAKING 💥 A thousand people have come to London today to sit on the Strand outside the Royal Courts of Justice. This is to signal to the justice system against imprisoning peaceful protesters who are acting to defend planetary and public health. 🧵

As the appeal against draconian sentences by the Lord Walney 16 begins, my long read on our descent into authoritarianism.

The mega-rich are using flying like taxis. Flying a private jet for a single hour can produce more CO2 than the average person produces in a year. We need leadership focusing on affordable, sustainable, accessible travel for all.

The richest 1% blew through their 2025 #carbonlimit in just 10 days Meanwhile the poorest half of humanity would take nearly 3 years to reach the same They profit, pollute & push for business as usual—no matter the cost to the planet Take #Action ➡️ Join #ExtinctionRebellion

These fires are not a natural disaster, they are a crime Big Oil knew, Big Oil chose, Big Oil threw everything at discrediting us and stopping us from doing anything about it They must be stopped, and they must be brought to justice

1/ Yes the globally wealthy have outsized emissions, and yes that’s a massive problem But it’s actually only a small part of their devastating influence on the conditions that support life 🧵

"To resist, then, start by orienting against the real enemy: wealthy people invested in the status quo." There'll be a lot of must-read analyses in the wake of the LA fires, but it'll be a while before there's a better one than this from the inspirational @climatehuman.bsky.social

Im delighted that #artsy curators have selected my artwork Deluge alongside 12 sculptures from across the world for Best Public Artwork 2024. Deluge is installed on the Leadenhall Building as part of #Sculptureinthecity www.artsy.net/article/arts...

My artwork Deluge explores global #flooding alongside biblical and folkloric flood narratives raising issues around ethical choices relating to #climatecrisis You can see it on #theleadehallbuilding AKA #thecheesegrater as part of 13th edition of Sculpture in the City until 2026 #lacuna #MTEC

No-one should be in jail for peaceful protest, this is wonderful news!

🚨 The UN negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty have been infiltrated by a WHOPPING 220 fossil fuel lobbyists. That’s more than the total delegates from ALL EU member states, and DOUBLE the delegates from Pacific Island Nations. 🫠 Does anyone else see the problem here? #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty

If you bring central London to a halt to campaign against catastrophic climate change you're treated as a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. But if you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

#Floods are destroying cities. Lives are being uprooted. Communities are left in ruins. This isn’t a freak event—it’s the #ClimateEmergency. While leaders delay, nature retaliates. How much more destruction will it take? Act now. #RebelForLife

🚨Towns in France roasted in “completely extreme” overnight temp of 26.9C (80.42F). “It’s very exceptional – even for summer, let alone late November,”. Scientists described the night-time heat as “staggering” and “phenomenal” so late in the year. #climate www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

1/ Why did the felling of a single, non-native tree at Sycamore Gap generate so much public feeling for nature, when biodiversity loss is otherwise largely ignored?

OUR CLIMATE IS BEYOND FUCKED, BUT… We have hope! Hope is about people uniting, working hard, and refusing to give up. Together, we can face the truth and build a better future. #ActNow #TellTheTruth #CitizensAssemble 👉🏼 Support people taking action: tr.ee/mG9fU_ZKYh ✒️ @climatehuman.bsky.social

A broken system is dying in front of faces, coughing up Trump and co as it fights to hold on to power and privilege. As Gramsci said: 'The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.' Our fight: don't let new monsters replace the old

‼️ LEADERSHIP NEEDED ‼️ #MoneyRebellion tell #UKGoverment politicians Ed Miliband, Jonathan Reynolds and Kerry McMarthy they MUST REFUSE APPROVAL for UK Export Finance (UKEF) to guarantee Total's murderous climate bomb gas project in #Mozambique 💣 #StopTotal #ClimateJustice 1/7

On 27 November, in Parliament, MPs have a chance to hear why their support for the Climate & Nature Bill is crucial, ahead of the #CANBill's second reading on 24 January. Scientists, campaigners, MPs and Peers are issuing a united call for action: It's time to follow the science.

#stormbert delivered a month of rainfall in 24 hours today & shut down #Euston and many other stations due to flooding. It was chaos for thousands of travellers But it’s business as usual for the financiers and insurers if carbon bomb projects #insureoursurvival #floodyhell #extinctionrebellion

This Greta Thunberg quote is another thing rattling around in my head today: "Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue making enormous amounts of money"

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology

My neon text piece NO BORDERS was commissioned in 2017 for Borders Sculpture Park. It toured to Yorkshire Sculpture Park with edititons on the roof of The Custard Factory Birmingham and in the collection at Alnoba ART park USA #ameliaerhart #YSP #NOBORDERS

Trump is a rolling shock machine, which a recipe for keeping us scattered and reactive to the latest shocking news. There will be moments when we need to react forcefully and meaningfully to protect one another. (2/8)

The soil carbon market is going to collapse - and that's a good thing. One of the issues I explore in this week's column, about the dreamworld of climate fakery our legislators have created. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need. A few initial thoughts: 🧵

DECLARED EXTINCT: The Slender-billed Curlew, a migratory shorebird once bred in western Siberia and wintered around the Mediterranean. It was last seen in northern Morocco in 1995. Listen to its song, weep. #ExtinctionIsForever

TELL THE TRUTH In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. The climate and ecological crisis is already with us. We need immediate action to avoid unspeakable human suffering and irreversible damage to the natural world. #TellTheTruth #RebelForLife #ExtinctionRebellion
