Just Stop Oil made a comeback this afternoon, blocking the road outside Parliament for several hours. JSO are acting on the science that shows new oil and gas means more fires, more floods and more deaths.... Will the UK government do the same? #StopRosebank #JustStopOil

Members of 'Scientists on Survival' took part in an action outside the UK Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero this week to highlight the dangers & harms from permitting further oil and gas drilling. You can read more about it here: scientistsonsurvival.org/blog/new-oil...

As someone in this picture I find it a little odd that @natureportfolio.nature.com chose this image to illustrate the point. We were very careful when choosing a slogan for our signs that it be scientificly defenceable. "Science says New Oil & Gas = Death" is a plain statement of fact 🧵

National Emergency Briefing@nebriefing.bsky.social · 9mo ago

A Government report last week highlighted that ecosystem collapse threatens our economy, our food and our national security. Has your MP signed the Parliamentary Call for a prime-time televised emergency briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis yet? People have a right to know #NEB2025

The LAST thing we need is the Labour Party infighting and the government being distracted from vital agendas. Instead, we need the left and liberals to focus their energies on working together to head off the very real threat of the far right. Please focus! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication. I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵

Professor of Biodiversity Nathalie Seddon @biology.ox.ac.uk says only 7% of our forests are healthy, and depleted marshes and soils put over 5 million homes at risk of flooding. @wwf.org.uk showed over half of voters think the gov is not doing enough to protect nature.

Earlier this month ~200 scientists gathered to #BringScienceToPolitics. Hear why @chrisgpackham.bsky.social joined us. Part of the "increasing number of scientists realising that the job isn't done once the paper is published"? Follow us and help push for the evidence-informed policy we all need.

Isn’t it appalling that leading experts like professors @paulbehrens.bsky.social & @mikebernerslee.bsky.social find it next to impossible to get access to Gov ministers, whilst fossil fuel lobbyists meet with them every day👇. Our system is broken.
