Yesterday, @chrisgpackham.bsky.social with us and Plant-Based Health Professionals UK staged a protest outside the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs #DEFRA, objecting to the make-up of a new government body intended to oversee development of its landmark food strategy. 1/n

It’s no longer acceptable for scientists to sit on the fence
Last week I concluded my review of the year by writing “I hope 2025 is the year people worldwide wake up to the multiple threats we are facing and start to act accordingly.” Maybe my wish for the year is beginning to be fulfilled. This week the media has been full of the horrendous wildfires in Los Angeles. I don’t want to downplay how horrendous these events are and any loss of life is dreadful.

"Contrary to common beliefs, we find that misinformation isn’t universal or a general condition of our media ecosystem. Instead, it's specifically associated with radical-right populist parties that spread misinformation as a political strategy."

1/ On 24th January the Climate and Nature Bill will be read in Parliament but – outrageously – the Labour party may not allow its MPs a free vote It’s no exaggeration to say the fate of the world depends on urgent political action, so this is no time to be playing party politics 🧵

Societies advance when guided by science and fall back under the spell of self-serving populists. Nearly 1,200 scientists say it’s vital that the UK passes the Climate & Nature Bill for ambitious, legally-binding action. Has your MP committed yet to vote on Friday 24th Jan?

The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation for climate and the environment already? Well... Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill

🌍 As #COP16 has come to an end, and as #COP29 begins, one thing is clear—the climate and nature crises cannot be solved in isolation. 🌿 They’re deeply interconnected—and it’s time for the UK’s approach to be as well. #CANBill 🧵 www.zerohour.uk/cop29/

Today we went to Parliament again to speak to our MPs about fossil fuel policy. We had some good conversations, which will be continued in our constituencies, because there is no time to lose. We need to say no to new oil and gas.

The ECT allows fossil fuel companies to sue governments for loss of hypothetical profits. A 20yr sunset clause means we need to grab this chance to leave en masse with other EU countries or face huge financial risk. The govt will decide this month - let’s help them. gju.st/3foecAI
