Here's my article about who we are, why we're trapped, why we are heading for planetary collapse, and what we must do to prevent it. It might not be saying much, but I think this is the best thing I've written. theguardian.com/environment/20…

A Tory MP is paid £150,000 by an oil firm, then calls on the government to delay policies to tackle climate change. As MPs, we were elected to serve our constituents, not the polluting transnational corporations destroying our planet. Lucrative second jobs should be banned.

Time is running out. Change won’t come from these conferences like #COP26 unless there is big public pressure from the outside. Join the climate strike this Friday (Kelvingrove Park 11am), and the climate march Saturday (11.30am) to make your voice heard. Together we are strong.

The countries at the top want you to think the countries at the bottom are to blame for climate change. Canada’s historic emissions per person are almost *30 times* those of India #COP26

PLEASE READ. NOTHING SURPASSES THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS: This is the draft Cop26 agreement: unfccc.int/sites/default/… It has actually taken my breath away. I was expecting something pretty dire. I’ve been warning for months that it would be pretty dire. But this! Even I am shocked.

Things you might not have heard from the media about #COP26. 🧵 (To everyone who HAS covered these stories, well done and thank-you)

This BBC graph shows the incredibly low investment in the NHS by the Government from 2010 to the pandemic It’s a major reason why we had 100,000 staff shortages in early 2020 And why there were millions on waiting lists even then Please RT so everyone can be clear

Last night I watched #DontLookUp. It was like seeing my adult life flash past me. Even down to the morning TV show where I totally lost it while trying, for the 1000th time, to explain what climate breakdown would do. All the anger, the frustration, the desperation: I feel it.

15°C in England in January isn't a bit weird or strange, it's fucking terrifying. #Climate breakdown is here and it's worsening faster than scientists thought possible. By the 2040s, Nottingham will be experiencing #wildfires, extreme #flooding, #droughts and #heatwaves. 🧵 >

Chatting to a lady on my walk about how, with the warmth, the birdsong and the courting kites, it feels like spring It's wonderful! She said I dunno about that, I said. It's our planet dying

At some point in the future you’ll give ANYTHING to be able to come back to this point, now, and do something about it. #ClimateEmergency

The energy crisis is exposing the idiocy of privatising energy. 27 energy companies have gone bust & prices are set to rise 59%. Renationalise it.

It's the Sixth Mass Extinction but the first where sentient beings have the opportunity to do something about it.

We no longer live in a stable climate. The instability is worsening quickly. This should terrify everyone alive. And it was all brought to you by the fossil fuel industry, which has known for decades, and did what it could to stop any action.

7 of the 9 Planetary Boundaries identified by Stockholm Resilience Centre have now been crossed. Each boundary alone is a death knell for human civilization. There comes a point when collapse of our society becomes highly probable, if not inevitable. Thinking about that a lot right now.

Net Zero by 2050 doesn’t mean much if society collapses by 2040. #LimitsToGrowth

Imagine walking into Tesco for your weekly shop and finding row after row of nice, tidy, low maintenance shelves but without the food. You and your kids would starve. That's how Bees, Birds, Hedgehogs etc feel when they visit your plastic garden #TimeForTurf #DontBeAnEmptyTescos

Yesterday: - heating bills went up £700 - a fossil fuel company announced record profits - people demanding home insulation were sent to prison Several connected trends exposed on the same day
