The UK Gvt is forcing through data centres against wishes of local communities and regardless of environmental impact. We must resist. Imposing one on the vibrant community in Brick Lane is shocking.

Meta tried to build a 200-megawatt data centre on farmland in Zeewolde. Twice the electricity of the entire town. 20 rebels occupied the council. "We want Greta, not Meta." They won, and then the Dutch banned hyperscale centres over 70MW. Direct action works! wagingnonviolence.org/2026/07/the-...

We want Greta, not Meta 😎

A first year above 2C in the mid-2030s now looks plausible. 0.5C was first passed in 1980, 1.0C in 2010 and 1.5C in 2024. The 15-year trend runs at 0.42C per decade. The 2026 and 2027 points for the current El Nino are estimates. We're not remotely ready!

Oh look... they solved the climate crisis! 🦄 .00000000001% of annual emissions* will be removed by unscalable but very PR-friendly technologies and we will drink the excess CO2 in refreshing beverages! [No burping allowed 😉] #Climate Denial now comes in delicious lychee flavor! 1/ #ClimateSky 🔌💡

The data center fight is going global

As local communities around the world unite around a shared enemy — AI data centers — a powerful new direction for climate action is emerging.

Those in power have knowingly set in motion the destruction of civilisation, and anyone who responds with adaptation, technical fixes, or managed decline instead of revolution is complicit in the mass death that is now locked in.

3,400 people die on a single extremely hot day in India. 30,000 in 5 days. Most of the poor aren't even counted. The study calls that a conservative estimate. Mass death is here. My heart is breaking. www.euronews.com/2026/06/10/h...

Experts warn that official heatwave death figures are grossly underestimated.

Dear @frediotto.bsky.social, I write to you as a parent and activist about your interview on Today this morning (I will be writing elsewhere about Dharshini David's appalling line of questioning). I understand there is a strong social pressure not to frighten the horses in these interviews...

“Worse than expected” appeared 10+ times in just five months of climate news in 2026. Emissions 15% higher than reported. Sea level rise affecting 68% more people than modelled. Amazon tipping point arriving sooner than projected. The models were always conservative. This is uncharted territory.

‘It’s too fast, too big’ Yup - the penny is dropping Across the entire geological record, our world has NEVER heated up as rapidly as it has in the last hundred years or so www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘It’s too fast, too big’: speed of climate crisis is devastating crops, say farmers

Drought and extreme heat are killing plants, driving up prices while also making some farms economically unviable

I'm screaming inside reading this. The implications are beyond comprehension.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

Everywhere I look today I keep seeing: 1) deadly wildfires ripping through our communities 2) people desperately trying to get by as energy costs soar 3) record oil & gas profits When will we see that these three things are connected? www.wsj.com/business/ene...

Big Oil Is Reaping Rewards From the Chaos in Energy Markets

ExxonMobil’s earnings doubled and Chevron posted its highest quarterly earnings on record as energy prices soared during the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Italy is fining climate rebels €10,000 for daring to protest. Court cases, plainsclothes police stalking, threats. 250 constitutional scholars say the laws threaten civil liberties. I say it's a road to end-times fascism.

Human rights are the oxygen of humanity.

Rapidly rising ocean temperatures, along with the Super El Niño, are affecting every part of the planet. The climate crisis is universal, exponential and existential. Only by understanding can we take the right action to stop it.

Nature knows what it's doing. A study from China confirms naturally growing forests resist heatwaves and drought better than planted ones. Yet billions pour into monoculture planting schemes that burn faster and recover slower. Stop engineering what evolution already perfected. Rebel for life!

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

The science was right. In 1988, Dr Syukuro Manabe predicted the Mediterranean region, North Africa and Southern California would all dry out in summers due to rising levels of greenhouse gases. In 2021 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics with two others for reliably predicting global heating.
