🚨Essential reading for policymakers🚨

“A full AMOC collapse would be a massive, planetary-scale disaster. We really want to prevent this from happening.”

The #AMOC ocean current keeps UK from being as cold as northern Canada. Its collapse would mean mass starvation.

Thank God it’s only food, eh, and not something important #climatechange

Great news about today. 'The ruling is binding and can trickle down to influence the law in 46 countries in Europe including the UK.'

The case was launched 9 years ago calling for 'better protection of women's health in relation to climate change'

Unbleached reefs this year are coloured blue.

This is the most widespread and most severe mass bleaching and mortality event ever recorded on the Great Barrier Reef.

'It's being poisoned by sewage.'

Feargal Sharkey explains why he's supporting the Save Windermere Campaign.

Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy: more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic self-harm. theguardian.com/education/2024…

1st, Shell--with the support of the UK govt--has lobbied hard to leave the enormous, toxic sludge-filled legs of its Brent rigs in UK seas, despite the clear threat it poses to the marine environment and the technical feasibility of getting rid of the sludge.

2nd, if Shell loses that fight, it can count on UK taxpayers picking up hundreds of millions of ££ worth of clean-up costs, despite Shell's record profitability in recent years.

NEW: Whilst Shell is rolling in profits, we're paying to clean up after them.

The oil giant, which made over £22bn profit last year, has been urged to remove waste from decommissioned rigs. But thanks to generous tax breaks, UK taxpayers will cover much of the clean-up costs.

UK subsidies for #FossilFuels in 2022 were £13.4 billion. To an industry making obscene profits whilst some can’t afford enough heat and children go hungry.
And despite overwhelming evidence that renewables can provide for all our energy needs.

A sinister misrepresentation of London. How low can political campaigning stoop?

This is great with Bill McKibben!!

George Monbiot 21/ 'The IPCC was created to impose (liberal) discipline on the scientific debate (Liverman, 2009).'

This is why initiatives like Climate Uncensored are so critical, and why work by folk like Nick Breeze (Bluesky: @nickbreeze.genn.cc ) is so worth following.

Further evidence today that the Australian government has no intention of phasing out fossil fuels for as long as they are profitable.

In the meantime, the #GreatBarrierReef is experiencing its highest levels of heat stress on record.

Scientists have discovered that octopuses can remember people, plan ahead, and solve complex problems.

A deeper understanding of octopus intelligence is fueling opposition to plans to factory farm the creatures.
