True to all stereotypes, I'm here to ruin the heatwave. But, more seriously, this heat is a taste of much worse to come... but together we have a choice about how fast, how bad and how unjust we allow this to continue.

UK temperatures hit record highs this week. But the way we talk about heatwaves often misses the the danger and who is most at risk from it. by @abiperrin.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

News presenters talking delightedly about the current record-breaking heat wave feels like a scene straight out of Don't Look Up. The asteroid is well on course for a direct hit.

This is a perceptive and beautifully written piece on why scientists hold back from acting on climate Hard to disgree with its conclusions: much of the responsibility lies with the research institutions that employ them

Why Do Some Scientists Stay Silent on Climate?

The science is settled. The scientists are not.

This is an extraordinary finding. “Even if you stopped climate change today, New Orleans’s days are still numbered. It will be surrounded by open water, and you can’t keep an island situated below sea level afloat. There’s no amount of money that can do that.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This case highlights the extreme inequality of the law and its enforcement. "Property" rights - in a lobster - pursued all the way to a police raid & strip searches. But we can do whatever the hell we want to marine wildlife. Take one step back and it all looks mad. theecologist.org/2026/apr/28/...

My first foray into journalism is an 'educational lobster' tale. 🦞 It's about animal welfare but also about the priorities of the criminal justice system in an increasingly unstable world.

Is it a sensible use of state resources to be prosecuting activists for... releasing a lobster? Sorry you had to go through this @smartyfish.bsky.social!

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

Why have we seen such repression of climate activists around the world? Because activists were so successful in changing the narrative around fossil fuels

The big problem with the “serious people should be left to do serious politics” thing is that the serious people doing serious politics have repeatedly fucked up for the past 40 years

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot

The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The nature NGO’s @rspb.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk should be mobilising an army! Instead they are cowering in trenches with their millions (pounds & members) We need something new. A radical, grassroots movement that actually fights for nature.

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Over the years, our big conservation groups, once brave and radical, have been taken over by suits: people with an Establishment mindset, who identify with the system they should be contesting. They wheedle and appease when they should be fighting with every legitimate tool they have.
