Female Lib Dem MP accuses Nigel Farage of shoving her in parliament

The UK gov was able to approve #Jackdaw because UK targets are woefully outdated. The current ‘Carbon Budget’ was set 15 years ago back when 2°C of warming was considered ‘safe’. It wasn’t tightened as the threat picture worsened due to concerns about public acceptance.

Severe climate impacts are arriving decades earlier than expected The UK is not prepared. It’s time for government to hold an emergency briefing to the nation. In the meantime you can watch our film: www.nebriefing.org/screening-map It’s #TimeToStepUp #NationalEmergencyBriefing

Finally watched the People's Emergency Briefing. Frustrated at the lack of urgent action from government but Hopeful that most people are on-side 🙏 Next screening at Bridgetown Community Hall #Totnes is on Friday 20th Nov. @sioldridge.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @nebriefing.bsky.social

Models that say we can overshoot 1.5°C & come back down assume: - we will transform our food systems from carbon source to sink - forests and soils keep absorbing 25% of our emissions - oceans keep absorbing another 25% - we enact a vast build-out of tech to pull CO2 back out of the air

Great climate reporting from @reuters.com - some fantastic visuals. One to file for sharing with people who ask "what climate emergency?" www.reuters.com/investigates...

Giant ‘heat storms’ are scorching Earth. The story of the biggest one.

Supersized heat waves used to be rare. No longer. Reuters reveals the rise of ‘heat storms.’ They now swarm the globe, upending life and the climate everywhere.

High energy prices can be tackled with business-as-usual thinking, or with bold, long-term thinking. In approving #Jackdaw, the UK government has chosen the former. 🧵1/5

Attlee and Roosevelt turned national crises into national renewal. @andyburnham.bsky.social can do the same, but it starts with honesty about the climate and nature crisis. Here’s why… www.nebriefing.org/open-letter-... It’s #TimeToStepUp #NationalEmergencyBriefing

National Emergency Briefing

An unfiltered assessment of the latest threats to UK food supply, health and national security from nine leading experts to an invitation-only audience - also covering positive solutions.

Truly mind-boggling and very scary The 1997-98 El Nino resulted in a global economic hit of $5.7 trillion When we look back on the current hyper El Nino, don't be surprised if there is not much change out of $20 trillion

Not sure how the Conservative Party can defend this absurdity highlighted by @eddavey.libdems.org.uk. Perhaps it’s time that they followed the evidence and listened to Conservative supporters who want clean energy. www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Thank you to the MPs who recently joined the call for Gov to hold a live emergency briefing on the climate & nature crisis. Sir @eddavey.libdems.org.uk becomes the first Westminster party leader to call for trusting the public with the facts. www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar... It's #TimeToStepUp

This weekend we passed an incredible 5,000 screenings on the map. Tens of thousands of people coming together to do the job the government ought to be doing We CAN rise to this challenge, but first we need leaders with the courage to face it. It’s #TimeToStepUp #NationalEmergencyBriefing

That's a very high proportion of people who find out what the real state of play is with climate change, who then think "Christ we should really do something about that" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Britons kept in dark about scale of climate crisis, say viewers of ‘first-of-its-kind’ emergency briefing

This is very encouraging from Burnham. It’s been such a shameful period for the UK, with former PMs refusing even to investigate credible allegations of election interference from a hostile state. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How significant are Burnham’s remarks on Kremlin interference in Brexit vote?

Prime minister has reopened the debate over whether Russia sought to influence the 2016 referendum

📣 The first screening of the People's Emergency Briefing in a national parliament! The film was shown at Holyrood last night. Grateful to First Minister John Swinney for committing to helping ensure it is “shared and understood very widely within Scotland”. #TimeToStepUp #NationalEmergencyBriefing

At the Labour conference? NEB cofounder @sioldridge.bsky.social will introduce an abridged version of the People's Emergency Briefing Monday at 5pm. With a panel discussion on how the film can act as a catalyst for the emergency action needed. #PEBuk #NationalEmergencyBriefing It's #TimeToStepUp

It’s extraordinary that as we breach 1.5° - which only in 2018, the IPCC said wouldn’t be reached until 2040 - that the PM is still holding up net zero by 2050 as an adequate response!

 The threat level has changed dramatically since the UK adopted its NZ by 2050 aim. Just a few examples: 🧵

Listening to the Westminster debate today on the suppressed intelligence report on the national security threats from nature loss.. We really do have some fantastic MPs. If you're in any doubt about that, check out the clips on the @nebriefing.bsky.social Facebook page. www.facebook.com/nebriefing

Heard about new fossil gas plants being built to power AI data centres? Maybe some PR about their emissions being captured & stored? Tip: Don't fall for empty promises from companies that produce+sell gas, that a technology they’ve been failing to deliver for decades, will soon make gas “clean” ⬇️

Emit today & fix it tomorrow. Proposal by Loo/Allen/etc for new N.Sea oil & gas developments to be conditional on fossil-fuel execs promising to neutralise emissions thro' future CCS & “engineered removals”. static1.squarespace.com/static/6356a... My response: climateuncensored.com/response-to-...

Allowing Rosebank/Jackdaw with promises of CCS later is a trap, as @kevinclimate.bsky.social points out: - CCS is unproven at anything like the required scale. - We should invest in cutting fossil fuel use, not prolonging it. - Every year of delay makes the required emissions cuts steeper.

Such an uplifting interview with NEB Chair Prof @mikebernerslee.bsky.social by @nickbreeze.genn.cc Why facing the climate & nature crisis will be positive in so many ways. Really worth a listen. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziP8... #NationalEmergencyBriefing

Fed up with people shirking responsibility by arguing that the UK causes just 1% of emissions? Here are two fantastic analogies from a primary school teacher, Mark in Coventry, who called Sheila Fogerty on @lbc.co.uk - one involving dog poo 😆 Other arguments here: www.nebriefing.org/mp-dialogue

This is very worrying. The idea that carbon capture can compensate for #Rosebank emissions suits the oil industry and must sound appealing to Gov. But it’s total BS for a number of reasons. Please read and share Andrew Boswell’s explanation below. 🙏o

#CarbonReckoning (Andrew Boswell)@drandrewboswell.bsky.social · 2mo ago

🧵1/ Very grateful to @graceblakeley.substack.com for this guest blog on how promoters of carbon capture and storage (CCS) are trying to give Andy #Burnham a deceptively neat-looking get-out-of-jail-free card to drill Rosebank and Jackdaw. This thread explains its flawed carbon accounting
