"Without significant increases in UK food system and supply chain resilience, it is unlikely the UK would be able to maintain food security if ecosystem collapse drives geopolitical competition for food" - says Joint Intelligence Cttee. www.theguardian.com/environment/... #afnnetwork.bsky.social

BREAKING📢 Crack team of climate scientists show "it is no longer defensible for companies proposing new or extended fossil fuel projects to claim the climate harms will be negligible. Our research shows the harms are, in fact, tangible and quantifiable – and no project is too small to matter"
theconversation.com
For the first time, we linked a new fossil fuel project to hundreds of deaths. Here’s the impact of Woodside’s Scarborough gas project
The results challenge claims that the climate risks posed by an individual fossil fuel project are negligible or cannot be quantified.

There is a lot of talk about ‘food security’… So I wrote this (and it got a sexed up headline :-) unherd.com/2024/12/a-fo...

What’s the word for when you’re conditioned to have such low expectations that your employer will do anything nice for you, that you’d be grateful for an unbroken chair to sit on? 🤨

In this @theguardian.com column, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social perfectly summarises why carbon credits for soil are not a good idea. Yes, we need to protect soil carbon, and we may increase it through good soil management, but promising golden mountains is flawed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is not Valencia, this is the town Tenbury Wells UK. There are very real consequences for all of us of ignoring 40 years of warnings from NASA & the world’s leading scientists. Reminder: as the planet heats, the atmosphere holds more moisture meaning rainfall intensity increases. #climatechange

Left: Extreme flooding across the UK this week Right: Risks from the UK climate change risk assessment in 2012 and 2021 - notice how there are many more 'high', and 'very high' (>£1 billion per year in damage) risks. We have been taken off guard in just how fast & hard climate can hit the UK!

The @uniofexeter.bsky.social convened a panel to advise the university on how to use carbon offsets in its ambitious net zero target. Our conclusion is that all offsets should be ditched. We very much hope other universities will do likewise. theconversation.com/we-have-offi...

We have officially advised our university to ditch carbon offsets – and focus on cutting emissions
Your organisation should probably ditch offsets too.
