The Joint Intelligence Committee report describes ecological collapse as posing catastrophic & irreversible risks to the UK. I asked what steps the Ministry of Defence is taking to coordinate action across Govt. Parliament must be allowed to scrutinise these findings and the Govt response.

As drought, flood, heatwaves and the rest drive failing harvests and falling yields, every community - village, street, block of flats - should be planning something like this Growing small scale can be managed far better in the conditions to come than field-scale monoculture cranbrook.garden

For vulnerable people, a #heatwave isn’t about being uncomfortable – it’s about being unsafe. In 2022, when temperatures spiked above 40C, more than 4,500 people in Britain died of causes associated with heat. #climatebreakdown #endfossilfuels #tonyblairiswrong www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The more we learn, the worse it gets. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Farmers are facing severe strain from the current heatwave following a dry spring, with many crops likely to yield less as temperatures rise beyond their tolerance. Livestock are also suffering heat stress and there is a rising risk of wildfires. #heatwave www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Important letter in @theguardian.com from @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social "This is not alarmism. As the @thecccuk.bsky.social report shows, our high-grade farmland in England & Wales could collapse from 40% to just over 10% by 2050, striking at our ability to feed ourselves."

I wrote this a year ago. Seems quite relevant again. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Another tragic result of the #climateemergency Water temperatures remain very cold - cold water shock can make swimming difficult and harder to get out of the water. At least seven young people have died in the water, as well as a man in his 60s & a woman in her 70s. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sounds good. The key is to keep focused on the policies that appeal across the Green’s coalition – from rent controls to nationalising the water industry, protecting the NHS to climate justice “…we just have to go out & clearly and boldly make the case for them.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🤬😳 In a scathing attack on the prime minister and his would-be successors #Blair argued that the party’s agenda should move firmly to the right, calling for the government to crack down on welfare spending, abandon net zero goals and support Donald Trump. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Without the influence of climate change record breaking heat like today would be rare or almost impossible. Climate change has made today’s record breaking May temperature 4-5x more likely. Heat records keep falling.

As unusually hot weather hits parts of the world, IPCC’s 2023 Synthesis Report shows that every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards. This figure illustrates the numbers of days per year where heat-humidity poses health risks. ➡️ bit.ly/SRYRpt23

The fact we could see 36°C tomorrow is insane. That would be higher than any temperature recorded during the summer of 1976. It would beat today’s highest UK spring record. It would be completely and utterly unprecedented even by modern warming standards.

I can’t believe it’s not even June yet and we’re already looking at the very real possibility of France reaching +40°C later this week. Literally hundreds of May records have already been set. Truly unprecedented to witness this level of heat so early in the year.

Too hot. Heat is known as a “silent killer” because it claims vast numbers of lives that go uncounted in official statistics. Last summer, scientists attributed two in every three heat-related deaths in European cities to climate breakdown. #climateemergency 🔥🌍🔥 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Yes, it’s hot. More than 10°C above normal for widespread regions of southern England. istheukhotrightnow.com

There was a time, not long ago, when peaceful protestors were never sent to jail in the UK But at least 286 people have been locked up for protesting climate breakdown and genocide in recent years It's a fucking scandal

Good news! The River Wye has been formally recognised as a living ecosystem with intrinsic rights. It includes the right to flow, to biodiversity, to be free from pollution, to regenerate and the right to be represented. #naturerights #rightsofrivers www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Let's hold the Government to its promise! No new oil and gas in our seas. Offshore drilling causes hundreds of toxic spills, deafens whales, and won't even lower our energy bills. It's time to stop letting Big Oil profit at the expense of our ocean. Add your name you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Shocking report. Britain has created a new breed of political prisoners through the incarceration of people acting to prevent climate breakdown & the annihilation of Gaza. Custodial sentences are being imposed with increasing length and frequency. #righttoprotest www.theguardian.com/law/2026/may...

At a time when trust and truth are under strain, people need clear, honest information from independent experts about the climate and nature crisis. An informed public is the foundation of democracy. Please sign the petition.

Solar power is generating 46.3% of the UK's electricity right now. Only 7.2% is from fossil fuels. And so many rooftops don't yet have solar panels on them - this is only going to get better. Balcony solar panels will also soon be available in the UK: no middle man between you & the sun. 🎉☀️😎

There is currently no compensation or insurance available to people who lose their properties to erosion. In Norfolk, the impact of the #climateemergency & #sealevelrise on the 21 miles of soft cliffs is likely to cause the loss of up to 1,600 homes in 80 years. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The world will get hotter until we stop burning #fossilfuels UK is forecast to have its hottest ever day in May over the long weekend, marginally exceeding the 32.8C recorded around parts of London, West Sussex & Kent more than 80 years ago, on 29 May 1944. 🔥🌍🔥 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Since the most recent energy crisis, BP's profits have doubled. It's vital that the government show leadership to make sure we're funding renewable energy to keep people's prices down. My conversation today with the Mayor 👇🏼 m.youtube.com/watch?v=fM77...

The government isn't yet being frank with the public about the threats to food supply, health and national security from climate change and nature loss. So for now it falls to civil society to step up. Would you consider hosting a screening of our film in your workplace or local community? #PEBuk

In little over 24 hours, the petition for government to stage a UK-wide briefing on the climate & nature crisis has passed the 10,000 milestone. Please help us get this to 100,000 to secure a parliamentary debate - by sharing widely. #NationalEmergencyBriefing #TimeToStepUp

🎉 Win for climate justice 🎉 Countries have voted YES to turning the world’s highest court’s decision on climate change into political action. It's the next step in taking last year’s historic climate opinion from the International Court of Justice forward. More here: lnkd.in/en4A-6AK 1/4

The big question - when indeed will the Environment Agency do what it exists to do and, you know, er, enforce the law? Great work by @nicolacutcher.bsky.social and @friendsriverwye.bsky.social

All cancel culture is bad, but rightwing cancel culture is more pervasive and has more powerful backers than leftwing cancel culture. These people are hypocrites as well as Inquisitors. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Good news! UN has voted to adopt a resolution backing ICJ opinion that countries have a legal obligation to address climate change. António Guterres said it underscored that governments are responsible for protecting citizens from the “escalating climate crisis.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We're heading for a prolonged and unprecedented May #heatwave - and as the #climate continues to heat due to the burning of #fossilfuels these will become increasingly common and increasingly unsurvivable.

Spotted Will Young in the Bat Garden #RHSChelsea The Bat Conservation Trust's Nocturnal Garden was my absolute favourite from this year - sure it was smaller than the big show gardens, but I liked it ☺️

Heatwaves are expected to exceed 40C in all parts of the UK by 2050. Periods of hot weather will be longer, which could lead to an additional 10,000 heat-related deaths a year. About 9 in 10 homes are likely to overheat. #heatwaves #climatecrisis #endfossilfuels www.theguardian.com/environment/...

SPOTTED 👀 New ads on the Piccadilly line at Heathrow ahead of Shell’s AGM tomorrow at Terminal 5. 🔥 Evidence suggests Shell knew about climate change from 1965 - and kept expanding fossil fuels anyway. Now communities from the Philippines to the Niger Delta demand justice!

We're outside Shell's HQ on their AGM day with a clear message: it's the world vs Shell! Justice for the Philippines Justice for the Niger Delta

Scientists have found high levels of toxic Pfas in soil, water and throughout the marine food chain in the UK’s Solent strait, including at protected environmental sites. In some samples, pollution was 13 times the safe threshold for coastal waters. #banpfas www.theguardian.com/environment/...
