Almost 9 in 10 people felt more motivated to act on the climate and nature crisis after watching a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing, according to a large-scale academic study by CAST with the National Emergency Briefing. 📽️ Read the briefing: cast.ac.uk/wp-content/u... Key messages 🧵

Cover page of CAST Briefing 48 (October 2026) featuring a large photograph of a People’s Emergency Briefing event inside a cathedral-like venue, with attendees seated facing presentation screens. The headline reads, “How the People’s Emergency Briefing turns environmental concern into civic action.” Key messages are summarised in bullet points below.

7/ MPs walk back into the Commons today with a choice: serve constituents, or serve oil majors. #Jackdaw & #Rosebank don't bring "energy security". They're bring fire, more floods, more deaths, locked in for decades. 🛑 Stop new extraction 🌱 Protect ecosystems 🔬 Let science lead, not lobbying

6/ 💀 NEW OIL & GAS = MORE DEATHS "Climate change is increasingly destabilising the... systems... on which human life depends" — Lancet Countdown, 2025 UK heatwaves this year killed an estimated 2,700+ people. 42% of those deaths are attributed to human-caused warming.

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

4/ 🌊 NEW OIL & GAS = MORE FLOODS A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, meaning heavier rain & stronger cyclones. Hurricane Melissa's rainfall was made roughly twice as likely in today’s heated #climate.

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

3/ 🔥 NEW OIL & GAS = MORE FIRES Hotter, drier conditions mean wildfires spread faster & burn longer. Attribution scientists repeatedly find human-caused #climate change to be a key driver of deadly wildfires. NASA data shows extreme fires are getting bigger and more frequent.

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

2/ Fact: burning fossil fuels is the single biggest driver of global heating. Extreme weather events, such as droughts, wildfire & flooding are amongst the most noticeable symptoms of the #ClimateEmergency.

Selling the oil and gas from new North Sea fields would generate £28.7 bn And burning it would cause £119-336 billion in economic damage Yet there's nothing special about those fields, I bet you'd find similar figures for any fossil fuels. That stuff is deadly

Sorry for shouting but... THE ENTIRE POINT OF CCS IS TO ENABLE MORE FOSSIL FUEL USE. That it captures jack shit doesn't matter. All fossil fuel interests need to do is claim that the emissions their extraction produces will be removed from the atmosphere. At some point. Somehow.

12/ As scientists we are doing all we can to ensure basic scientific realities are accounted for in decision-making. But this is an all-of-society problem and we can’t do it alone. We need to stop adding fuel to the fires, and that needs everyone to take a stand.
