Heat & drought records keep falling. Reform promote denial. The Tories want to ditch our targets. The new PM still hasn't said a word. Such a relief to hear a politician actually name it. Should be ordinary. End the #climate hushing! Thanks for your #ClimateLeadership @zackpolanski.bsky.social

As other newspapers & media spout the fossil fuel agenda & promote the oil lobby’s disinformation It is good to see one newspaper telling it how it is - on its front page

Love & Rage ❤️✊ We’re all in the same soup & it's coming to the boil We rage against those who delay change we so desperately need. Rage! Yes! Rightly so because Government is hiding the truth SAVE THE DATE LONDON 12/13/14 September More rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/books/love-a... 1/3

Fruit to produce jet fuel: another greenwashing scam, directly from the fossil fuel industry, that will turn an area of Brazilian countryside the size of LA into a monoculture. 🧵

Jet Fuel Made From Tropical Fruit Gets $3 Billion Backing

Research funding cuts are certainly counterproductive as is diversion of chunks of funding to the private sector But we also need more funding of applied environmental research, even if that takes from others - to address the climate & ecological emergencies www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

While these dead trees in the New Forest are the result of unplanned inundation we should expect increased tree deaths & forest dieback under climate change

Why should applied ecologists & conservation practitioners be interested in precision ecology? Because meta-analysis gives average effects & can’t tell you how to target conservation actions But PE methods use contextual information to say what works & where www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Precision ecology for targeted conservation action - Nature Ecology & Evolution

The fields of medicine and marketing use large data volumes and computational power to target individuals. This Perspective argues that applied ecologists should draw on such approaches to provide dec...

But if we don't reduce emissions to zero, the situation will get even worse, and eventually get out of hand with tipping points being crossed. So, logic has it that we need to reduce emissions to zero. Adults should be able to handle this. 2/

ALL I ask is that people who reject Universal Basic Income out of hand because “People need to work” interrogate WHY they believe this instead of assuming it as a starting point.

No wonder other 'leaders' want to get rid of Pedro Sánchez. He speaks the truth: “Climate change kills: ... people ..., our ecosystem, our biodiversity, and it also destroys the things we as a society hold dear – our houses, our businesses, our livestock.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For every ecologist I meet who’s excited by new monitoring tech I meet another who’s deeply sceptical

But of course it matters! 🤯 And what’s more, here’s a solution to the running sore of drill/don’t drill “Put production in the UN process & refusing a licence starts to count for something” @mjflepage.bsky.social consider the consequences of your journalism, our future on this planet is at stake

Crucial time for so-called mainstream media to remember that immigration is the most weaponized issue in contemporary European politics and to be very very careful about how they are reporting on this.
