So, break a window & get “quietly” (without fair trial) sentenced for terrorist offences? @georgemonbiot.bsky.social explains the insidious rise of authoritarian laws which choke our right to protest and our basic human rights. Beware the promoters & enablers of reckless capitalism & climate denial.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

NEW: Big Oil and Gas created the myth that natural gas is "clean" — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane decades earlier than previously reported. A major CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution.

This really is quite something. In the 15 years @carbonbrief.org have tracked UK media, 2025 was first ever year where more newspaper editorials opposed #climate action than supported it. Meanwhile, the *actual* climate crisis deepens by the month. Go figure.

“There's now a small but very real risk of 4°C by the end of the century. The prospects of three and four degrees centigrade of warming are absolutely dire" Professor Kevin Anderson. This is a stark warning about the #climatecrisis and the radical change needed in our lives to avert catastrophe.

"Nature is critical national infrastructure. When we destroy it, we increase floods, heat deaths, food insecurity and economic instability. When we restore it, we reduce risk, save lives and strengthen the economy." Professor Nathalie Seddon. Time to act on the #climatecrisis #UK. #Emergencybriefing

@carbonbrief.org @daisydunne.carbonbrief.org thanks for raising awareness of progressive leadership in fossil fuel transition following #COP30 in #Brasil I doubt this would make main stream media, but on a day #Earth Day no less that renewables overtook coal power, time to be hopeful, and positive.

The question we should be asking is not whether alignment with EU standards to cut red tape and allow farmers to sell to Europe is a betrayal, but why British fruit and veg continues to be treated with ‘toxic’ pesticides which are linked to infertility & cancer. www.thetimes.com/article/2069...

I think it is AMAZING that a post about the symptoms of climate change (Rapid Snow Melt in the West) gets 570 likes/reposts, but a list of actions that EVERYONE can take gets just 30 likes/reposts. Seems people want to complain about the problem, but very few want to take personal responsibility.😞

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

New research finds that trade is impacting biodiversity much more than previously thought. This is why consumption matters. “international trade has caused more than 90% of loss that occurred between 1995 & 2022 due to conversion of natural areas into agricultural land” phys.org/news/2024-12...

Land use in tropical regions: Biodiversity loss due to agricultural trade three times higher than thought
Exporting agricultural products from tropical regions to China, the U.S., the Middle East, and Europe is three times more harmful to biodiversity than previously assumed.
