🌍 We must better prepare the country for a future of more extreme weather and put nature at the heart of our response to climate breakdown. We need decisive action now. Read my call for a National Adaptation Plan in Left Foot Forward 👇 leftfootforward.org/2024/12/keir-s…

This misses the point entirely - trivialising nature extinction, climate change, increased flooding, & nature-deficit health & wellbeing issues, is unacceptable. This not 'newts' versus 'people', & such a comparison suggests extreme ignorance about the sustainability imperative!

Nationalising essential utilities – like water – should not cost taxpaye... youtu.be/TlVbKVBLOiM?si… Labour claims taxpayers would face a massive bill for nationalising the water industry. But that’s not true. If a fair price is paid for the businesses and their debts,

A very interesting thread, well worth a read. I may be wrong, but wasn’t this principle first suggested by Darwin?

It's a shocking indictment of how corrupt, brainwashed & distorted our world has become that peaceful protestors are serving lengthy prison sentences, while those who are destroying the planet & a sustainable future for all life are free & unquestioned. theguardian.com/environment/20…

It's completely unconscionable that the development of any new oil fields is even being considered at this time. Govts. are in total denial about the impacts of human-caused climate breakdown, & radical change is urgently needed to save the planet. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Well one explanation is to point out how that it’s not actually true. Having said that, meltwater can drop the sea surface temperature to temporarily foster more floating thin ice, but I appreciate that’s a bit complicated. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/153457/…

What makes Reform a far right party? youtu.be/8xsOyM6PHxM?si… I have been asked to define the way in which I use the term ‘far-right’. I do that in this video and, at the same time, explain why I think Reform fits my criteria for describing it as such.

‘Sweden begins wolf hunt as it aims to halve endangered animal’s population’ [to a pitiful 170 individuals] Imagine if the outcry if this were Sri Lanka killing leopards, or Botswana lions, both much trickier animals to live with. Shame, shame on Sweden. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Good to see Steve Reed MP Defra UK in speech to Oxford Farming Conference conf spell out very clearly that "Without #nature, we cannot have long-term food security". It's so obvious that you would have thought it shouldn't need saying. But it did So #ThankYou

In 1653, the Dutch settlement Nieuw Amsterdam (New York) became a city. It was taken from us, but we would like to have it back. We have a lot to offer.😬

The aim of climate science denial is not to convince everyone the scientists are wrong, but to confuse the people in the middle, to make them think the deniers must have some point; that maybe it’s not quite as bad as the scientists say. Sadly, it is. youtu.be/YhDacrl1aSA?si…

"The UK environment secretary, Steve Reed, is pursuing legal action against a group of anglers who are trying to restore the ecosystem of a river." More on this staggeringly stupid decision in today's The Guardian by Sandra Laville theguardian.com/environment/20…

Overshoot has consequences: "The world is in a genuine predicament, trapped between the toughest of rocks and most unyielding of hard places—decisive action would destroy the world as we know it; inaction could destroy the world as we know it. " buildingsandcities.org/insights/comme…

If Government goes ahead with airport expansion, it would totally undermine their own clean energy plans. Economic benefits are dubious at best but damage from climate emissions, air pollution & noise are certain. This is a test of how serious Labour’s green plans really are…

“About 70% of the flights in this country are taken by just 15% of the population.” With Rachel Reeves expected to back a third Heathrow runway, George Monbiot says it’s time for a ‘frequent flyer tax’ instead.

"The obsession with growth is insane. We live on a planet with finite resources....We are one species, on one planet, with one last chance to sort it out and we've got to do it now!" says Chris Packham Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 #HeathrowExpansion Stop Heathrow Exp

On Labour’s announcement of a broad, national conservation on land use… I think you’ve got this one wrong Robbie Moore MP. Labour is doing good here and Conservatives ought to support it. It was the last Conservative government that originally committed to launch a national

I don’t mean to diminish the difficulties farmers are experiencing during this time of change in their industry. And I’m not saying that the new Environmental Land Management scheme is perfect, far from it. But our country is demonstrably an environmental wreckage. Our national
