Nature knows what it's doing. A study from China confirms naturally growing forests resist heatwaves and drought better than planted ones. Yet billions pour into monoculture planting schemes that burn faster and recover slower. Stop engineering what evolution already perfected. Rebel for life!

A 1-in-1000-year rainfall in Ohio. 17 inches in 24 hours. 12 inches in Iowa. These events now occur every few months. Everything is now unprecedented. They keep licensing fossil fuels for cash. We keep drowning in their poison.

I used to be either housebound or a tag-along. No plans. No certainty my body would show up. Then I decided to stop hiding it. To ask for help. To let people in. Chronic illness takes everything and then asks for more. But I am still here. Still learning. Still going.

Our actions today will shape Earth's climate until the year 3000. A new study in Earth's Future warns we've entered "Anthropocene quicksand": every tonne of CO₂ sinks us deeper, while only rapid action can pull us out. This is civilisational suicide.

I oppose genocide. You'd think that goes without saying. But in Britain today, peaceful action against genocide, alongside groups like Palestine Action, is treated as a crime. This is my speech for the political prisoners. Rally organised by the wonderful @defendourjuries.bsky.social 🎤

Bushfires have wiped out 70% of a key habitat for Australia's endangered pink cockatoos. Some nesting trees were over 100 years old. They won't be replaced in our lifetime. Climate breakdown isn't just changing nature. It's erasing it.

Italy's Senate Speaker says the country will "get used to the Caribbean climate." The regional environment councillor says follow "some simple precautions." XR Turin went out at night and told the truth on every wall: this heat is a political choice. Proud of our Italian rebels. ✊

Asia makes 95% of the world's solar panels. 85% of its batteries. 75% of its wind turbines. Vietnam, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Thailand are all ahead on key electrification metrics. The Hormuz crisis just accelerated it further. The West fumbled the clean energy revolution and handed it to Asia.

Three heatwaves. Soils dry to the core across all of France. 1,000+ dead last week. Infrastructure, agriculture, and culture designed for a climate that permanent 40 to 50°C summers will destroy. France has survived revolution before. The question is what this one looks like.

Last night the BBC called airport staff ‘heatwave heroes’ for keeping private jets and elite business trips running. Meanwhile 3,700 died in a week in Europe. City Airport promotes climate chaos and the BBC is complicit that death wish. That’s the real story.

In 1988, scientists warned Congress that the climate crisis had begun. The world set 2°C as the limit. Vulnerable nations said that would destroy them. Now we may reach 2°C this year — with extreme conditions. The limits were always a Western average. The people in the extremes never got to vote.

A municipality that won European Green Capital 2025 wants to fell 327 mature trees on a Natura 2000 border for a rowing centre and car park. Lithuanian Rebels showed up in the rain and fought to stop the “vicious cycle of disposable trees.”

They said industrial heat couldn't be decarbonised. Too hot. Too complex. Too expensive. A startup just built one of America's largest clean industrial heat projects in under a year using wind power and blocks of carbon. The excuse is gone. What's left is just who profits from delay.

UN report: AI water consumption will be equivalent to that of 1.3 billion people by 2030. Data centres are the 11th-largest electricity consumers on Earth, producing 2.5 million tonnes of e-waste annually. The $5 trillion market doesn't pay those costs. Everyone else does.

2.5 million Americans live in high-wildfire-risk areas with few viable evacuation routes. One major fire would clog the roads. Hundreds could die, possibly more. The planning to fix it doesn't even exist yet. How many catastrophes lie in the waiting of a warming world?

Corporations have had legal personhood for centuries. Now the River Wye joins them, with rights to flow and freedom from pollution. Ecuador 2008. Colombia 2016. New Zealand three times. Will the law spread before the biosphere collapses with all of us in it?

They named it after a monster because the normal words stopped working. Godzilla El Niño. Droughts, floods, famine, conflict, migration — simultaneously, globally. Trillions in damages projected. And the governments responsible are still subsidising the fossil fuels driving it.

Floating solar cuts electricity bills, conserves water, reduces algae, and gives wild birds a nesting site. China is building gigawatts. America has 20 projects. The only thing slowing this down is a billionaire-backed fossil fuel profit.
