No more excuses. Politicians need to tax wealth + use the money from Britain's super-rich to invest in climate action + our crumbling public services. Do you agree? Sign here via Green New Deal Rising: gndrising.org/campaigns/no-m… gndrising.org/campaigns/no-m…

Who should be paying to fix our struggling NHS? Cuts to the poorest people in the UK, or a new tax on the wealth of the richest? I think it should be a new wealth tax. Agree? Join me and sign the petition today: 38d.gs/ppex

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild it's land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/prom… via 38 Degrees

All very fine but the simple fact is there is a limit to growth on a finite planet The Club of Rome were always correct but the fossil fuel lobby carried on & now we hover on the brink of disaster & may learn not much use being rich on a dead planet . #degrowth #XR

Brilliant covers all my thinking maybe someone should buy The Labour Party a dictionary what is it they don't understand about the meaning of #Change ? For sure it isn't what they're delivering!

The awesome Robert Macfarlane speaking at the Right to Roam The Stars are for Everyone rally ‘It’s a tragedy that we’re having to fight against the extinction of access rather than for the extension of access… Labour need to make good on their earlier pledges of a right of responsible access”

It’s as if none of the work on sustainable economies ever happened. Starmer bangs on about “growth” but growth of what, for whom, at what cost? Not all growth is good & as scientists concluded last week “In a world of finite resources, unlimited growth is a perilous illusion”.

Not sure how they could be more clear: “The future of humanity lies in the balance” & we need “an ecological & post-growth economics framework that ensures social justice”. Report should be ringing deafening alarm bells with governments around the world academic.oup.com/bioscience/art…

Good; but then why is the Govt doing so little to actually address climate impacts? The Govt has a mission on decarbonising electricity; but has no mission for protecting us against these impacts. >There needs to be a 6th mission: Of protective climate adaptation.< RT to agree.

My message to the Trump voters crowing about their victory: You won, suck it up. Because your lives are going to be just as screwed by this result as ours are.

George Monbiot (@georgemonbiot) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I’ve been called a communist many times in the past few days, because I oppose Trump. But the people levelling this accusation are perfect Soviet commissar or Chinese Red Guard material. All dictatorships are alike, and all are sustained by blindly obedient loyalists.

Plenty of pundits are telling us “cheer up, Trump’s all hot air. He doesn’t really mean it.” History is littered with such self-deceptions, and they don’t age well. In fact, these confident chin-strokers have often proved to be a major part of the problem.

mintdog George Monbiot It wasnt fine. He pulled out of climate negotiotions, cancelled the nuclear treaty with Iran, opened more fossil fuel mines and drills, tried to stop health care, rattled the economy etc.

George Monbiot Absolutely! Plus, far too many weakly politicised voting solely on their fears/emotions and zero political knowledge wrapped up in arrogance. Starmer, Farage, Trump, Tories. The list is endless in how much corruption alongside oligarchs, who run the rw mainstream political media.

8 in 10 of us back full public ownership of rail. But if Heidi Alexander MP doesn't impose a moratorium on ORR approving more open access applications, they can lock in privatisation for decades. Please step in URGENTLY. We Own It open letter: weownit.org.uk/news/stop-priv…
