In this @insideclimatenews.org article I'm quoted by @bberwyn.bsky.social saying that: “It feels like the #climate issue is actually getting less attention & I find that deeply concerning" Here's a thread with evidence of declines in coverage from UK 🇬🇧, France 🇫🇷, US 🇺🇸 & beyond 🧵 #EndClimateSilence

Extreme Heat Waves Fuel Political Tensions in Europe - Inside Climate News

At the limits of adaptation, governments face a choice: point fingers, or seize the moment for transformational change.

#OtD 20 Aug 2018 15-year-old autistic student Greta Thunberg began a solo school strike in Sweden demanding government action on climate change. Within a few months, hundreds of thousands of students around the world organised their own walkouts stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9251...

Scientists, campaigners and musicians have brought the same message to the government this week as it considers allowing more fossil fuel extraction whilst most of England and Wales is in drought and large areas of the UK remain on fire. My latest for The Canary: www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Is Burnham feeling the heat on Rosebank?

Rosebank’s owners have resubmitted their application to drill. The public have made themselves heard. Now the decision rests with government

"The evidence is clear that fossil fuels—and the fossil fuel industry and its enablers—are driving a multitude of interlinked crises that jeopardize the breadth and stability of life on Earth" academic.oup.com/oocc/article...

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...

I don't want to have to engage in protest. I'd rather just get on with my research, and I found it quite emotional But while my government is considering pouring more fuel on the fires, despite everything we know and everything we're experiencing, what else am I supposed to do?

Climate scientists issue urgent warning to UK government on new oil and gas drilling

Top UK climate scientists have written to the new energy secretary, urging her to protect lives and livelihoods above polluters’ profits.

This summer's extremes have left a lot of people frightened and angry. That feeling needs somewhere to go. Hope the coming months bring a new wave of #Climate mobilisation, so politicians finally feel the heat over their inaction!

BREAKING: We were outside The Treasury with a clear message on the last day of Rosebank's public consultation: Andy Stop Rosebank! NEW OIL FUELS CROP FAILURE 🥀Pouring more oil onto the flames, will only lead to more drought and eventual crop failure The choice is oil or food!

1/ Doomism means saying it's too late and nothing can be done. It doesn't mean saying things are bad. One recent high profile paper in @pnas.org treats conflates this. Whilst another paper in the British Journal of Psychology treats naming who funded climate delay as conspiracism. A thread 🧵

We're changing our name: Scientists for XR is now Scientists on Survival (SOS). For 7 years, we've brought together hundreds of scientists across all disciplines, united by one goal: Confronting the catastrophic climate & nature emergency. 1/4🧵 scientistsonsurvival.org

We have updated our name and handle from Scientists for XR to: Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social Our website: scientistsonsurvival.org Our rebrand launch is coming soon.

2003 was once exceptional. Now it's average. 2024's record will be average by the mid-2040s. The extreme summers of the 2040s don't bear thinking about! 🌡🥵😬 #ClimateEmergency After @edhawkins.org & @stottpeter.bsky.social using ERA5 + CMIP6.

1/ 🚨New piece out co-authored with Ben Shread-Hewitt on the EU's adaptation framework and the risk of a 3°C world. Planning for 3°C doesn't make it survivable. But it makes it seem so. Here's a 🧵on some key points. Thanks @climate-risk.bsky.social for publishing this article.

How the EU adaptation framework vastly underplays the risk of a 3°C world

Gatwick chief executive claims the process "carefully tested and scrutinised every aspect of our expansion plans". <government waves hands, sprinkles technofix fairy dust over massive climate impact, chants "economic growth" three times and closes their eyes to ignore heatwaves, wildfires & floods>

Wildfires in Europe so far this summer have led to Spain's deadliest in decades, with temperature anomalies peaking around +9°C in France and Germany and a high of 45.1°C in southern Spain. But how is the UK 'fire wave' after its first 'megafire' that burnt for four days in Dava Moor in May? 1/n

Just did an interview for TRT World on Europe's worst heatwave on record. The heat has killed thousands. We've crossing 1.5°C, & there's no dropping back below. This is the baseline now. We must cut emissions far faster, & protect people from the heat already here. Both, together. Part 1:

If the action needed to prevent climate breakdown wouldn't make us better off, would we take it anyway? We did with Covid. The UK spent an estimated £310–410 billion, with no expectation of an economic return. How fortunate that the action needed to tackle climate change is different! 🧵👇 #PEBuk

🔥 Europe is currently baking under increasingly extreme heatwaves, yet governments and gas companies continue fossil fuel extraction Today, Scientist Rebellion joined @xrnl.bsky.social as rebels once again blocked gas extraction sites across NL. The science is clear: stop new gas drilling.

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 🧵

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

1/ Over 1000 schools are closed due to dangerous heat, and millions of parents are now sat at home, feeling worried and powerless about their children’s future Yet there’s lots parents can do and this is an important moment, so please share this thread with your friends and loved ones 🧵

More than 1,000 schools shut or closing early as extreme heat warning extended - live updates

The red alert, in place for parts of England and Wales until 23:59 on Thursday, means the weather carries a risk to life.

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

Should scientists advocate for climate action? Our new review @plosclimate.org finds there is no single answer. The effects of scientist advocacy depend heavily on context, including who is speaking, what they are advocating for, and who is listening. Open access: journals.plos.org/climate/arti...

"Everyone who comes to #climate & nature activism will have their foundational stories, & we both believe that sharing & honouring these, as @scientistsforxr.earth have done in their book Scientists on Survival, is a critical part of inspiring ourselves & others to persist with demanding change"💚 🙏
