Eunice Foote was the first person to establish, through experiments, that altering the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere would change the Earth’s temperature. As a mere woman she was not allowed to present her work at the relevant academic body. Her paper had to be read out by a man.

On this day (July 17) in 1819 Eunice Foote entered the world. Who she? This she. allouryesterdays.info/2022/08/23/a...

Stop Rosebank@stopcambo.bsky.social · 3w ago

I really hope this is unfounded rumours. Hard to believe @andyburnham.bsky.social would approve new oil & gas production when the International Energy Agency, Lord Stern and other authorities advise against. Especially when we've just seen the hottest June day ever. @stopcambo.bsky.social

BREAKING 🚨: reports suggest Andy Burnham could approve new oil and gas fields, including Rosebank. Is he REALLY going to cave into the demands of the profiteering oil giants and Trump? Or is he going to stand with people facing soaring bills and a worsening climate crisis?

On a hot evening, while local countryside was at “exceptional” risk of wildfire, a group of us wrote to our MP @steveracemp.bsky.social. We urged him to push for the rapid scale-up of renewable energy and an end to new fossil fuels, including Rosebank. #StopRosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social

Fifteen people stand in front of Exeter Cathedral's west front. They hold two banners, one saying ‘Stop Rosebank’ and the other ‘Exeter’.

I loved this piece by Mark Cocker on the Wood Warbler and its “extraordinary resilience and deep vulnerability”. Wood Warblers are disappearing from our woods across the UK. Protecting and expanding Atlantic rainforests is so important for this special bird. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Buxton, Derbyshire: What a fine sight it is to see one throwing its head back in song, especially after a 50-year absence. Yet this is a journey of vulnerability

Exeter University's Climate Forum is sponsored by Howden, which brokers insurance for the fossil fuel industry. I and others met with the vice chancellor to explain this was inappropriate to say the least. I'm not surprised it has drawn protest. Sponsorship of such events normalises fossil fuels.

Interesting moment at Exeter climate conference. XR protesting Howdens insurance sponsoring the conference.

Another climate win! French companies must identify the climate risks resulting from their activities and take measures to reduce them In a case targeting TotalEnergies, the Paris court ruled this covers not just the company’s direct emissions but also those resulting from the use of its products

⚖️ Victory! A French court has ruled TotalEnergies must limit its climate polllution. Big polluters must cut emissions and align with 1.5°C - and it’s enforceable. No one is above the law 🌍🔥

Let's hold the Government to its promise! No new oil and gas in our seas. Offshore drilling causes hundreds of toxic spills, deafens whales, and won't even lower our energy bills. Let's stop letting Big Oil profit at the expense of our ocean. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Stop Big Oil billionaires polluting our seas for profit

The Government must keep its promise to ban new offshore oil and gas. Drilling harms marine wildlife, causes toxic spills, and won't lower our bills. Add your name to protect our ocean!

Groundhog day... Once again we have to persuade Surrey County Council not to allow 20 years oil production at Horse Hill. The developer argues the oil would "alleviate the economic anxiety of import dependency". It wouldn't. And that it would have "insignificant climate change effects". Nonsense.

The Horse Hill site - at the centre of a landmark legal challenge in 2024 - is seeking to produce more than 600,000 tonnes of oil over the next 20 years, releasing about two million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. drillordrop.com/2026/06/17/h...

I get these emails from retired engineers too. Perhaps the same ones, do they email everybody? They often ask if I know the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, as if such a tiny amount as 400 parts per million couldn't make a difference to anything.
