Today seems like a good day to share this amazing graphic of UK land use (I estimate solar farms cover less than one tenth of one percent of the UK – 0.08%) carbonbrief.org/qa-will-englan…

Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.

A little update on the two important Astroturf petitions. Richard Dowling 🐝's Ecological Damage Tax petition is at 6329 signatures. maggie moran 🍃💚🍃's current Ban attempt is at 1264. We need at very least 10,000 on both so please sign both and make sure you verify the return email

Amazing work from Green New Deal Rising. It’s such a simple question. It’s so telling he can’t answer it. @KwasiKwarteng deserves to be challenged for doubling down on oil & gas and paving the way for even more profits for big polluters.

We need new narratives to reduce aviation and lay the tracks for a fair planet! Today we release our new reframing guide: #CommonDestination It's a powerful toolbox for activists and campaigners working on #ClimateJustice and sustainable mobility. #ReframeAviation #Thread 1/8

It actually is possible to maintain food production and restore nature and sequester carbon. You just have to be careful how you go about it. And you need to reduce meat consumption (by about 30%). Meat production occupies 85 percent of the agricultural land that feeds us.

The government commissioned an excellent thinker, Henry Dimbleby, to write an excellent Food Strategy. Then, clearly in response to corporate lobbying, it systematically junked his proposals. Yet again, it has wasted everyone's time and done nothing to address our urgent crises.

What Government Office for Science Sir Patrick Vallance, and other scientists on the call, said in Monday's #ClimateBriefing to MPs: a thread 🧵🪡 [1/17] [Video in final tweet, thanks Angus Rose Caroline Lucas for making this happen & all MPs who attended - release the list!)

This reinforces what Government Office for Science said: "this is not just about technology, it's also about the behavioural change required to reach Net Zero". Not only do we need to rapidly transition to electric vehicles, but drive less generally, in favour of walking and cycling. [10/17]

As Europe fries and burns in a lethal heatwave, here are the planes burning up the skies above right now, further fuelling global heating. We need to stop promoting aviation, travel in better ways & find a safe landing for the industry...

🚨😡 As of last week, the UK Government has launched an attack on nature. We are angry and we are mobilising against these proposed plans. Please read this thread 1/7 👇

It seems appropriate to repost this: Huge UK public support for direct action to protect environment – poll bit.ly/3SDhsc1 #r4today

Yesterday I was arrested by Herts Police whilst covering a protest on the M25. I showed my press card, and I was handcuffed almost immediately. My phone was snatched out of my hand. I was searched twice, held in a cell for 5 hours, and I wasn’t questioned whilst in custody.

We’re in deep denial of the greenhouse gas impacts. The latest estimate, in Nature Food, gives livestock consumption’s direct emissions as 9.9Gt CO2eq yr−1. That’s roughly 20% of total global emissions. By contrast, global transport produces 7.2Gt. nature.com/articles/s4301…

Denial and motivated reasoning, in all fields, are our undoing. These tendencies are understandable, but we should resist them as staunchly as we can. More on this topic here: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

To address climate change and air pollution, the world needs to burn fewer fossil fuels. Yet many governments continue to subsidize fossil fuels — this map shows fossil fuel subsidies per person across the world. Learn more: ourworldindata.org/sdgs/responsib…

Water is life, water is food, save every drop so nobody is left behind! In the spirit of leaving no one behind, Food and Agriculture Organization teamed up with The Kabin Studio and Piccola Orchestra di Tor Pignattara to produce this year’s Junior #WorldFoodDay anthem.
