BBC fails us again! #ClimateChange
Claire Bradshaw@clairebradshaw.bsky.social · 6h agoRadio 4 interview this afternoon started with a “there is nothing new here” Could not believe it! Like tackling climate change needs a new slant each time it is presented. No one has been listening or taking this urgently enough. Pedro Sanchez in Spain is the first EU leader to be open about this
Thankfully, we have unlimited planetary resources (which we can burn with zero consequences) which will compensate for all the massive heat loss on a ~90% glazed north elevation.
@georgemonbiot.bsky.social They want their meat and eat it too.
Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot
As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

For GOD'S SAKE. Massive landowners call for ban on disposable BBQs, but at the same time call for "a lifting of the ban on controlled burning" 'You oiks shouldn't burn moorland - that's OUR job' Entitled double standards. Ban both. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Thanks to @veganhorizon.substack.com for this useful graphic. One enhancement I’d like to see would be making the connection between methane emissions and climate change.
A good one to remember.
Jan Dutkiewicz@jandutkiewicz.bsky.social · last yr.This has always been clear: plant-based meat alternatives are better for the planet and, at least compared to red meat, better for your health. That this is not widely accepted is the product of meat industry disinfo, science illiteracy, and some very stupid journalists. www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/h...
On today's episode of Knowing Animals, I speak to @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social about Feed the People (2026, @basicbooksgroup.bsky.social, with Gabriel Rosenberg). We discuss food systems, UPFs, animal ag, and more. Available below or in usual podcast places! knowinganimals.libsyn.com/episode-252-...
This is such a simple action that is very impactful. It's also easy, especially if you change your diet incrementally, over a period of 6 months or so. Pulses and beans are cheap too, nuts are too relative to meat. You may need to adapt your cooking a bit, but YouTube is full of plant based recipes.
I spoke with @owenjones.bsky.social recently about the withheld Joint Intelligence Committee report on food system pressures, and more. I mentioned that one report makes the point that "a wholesale change in consumer diets would be required" Full conversation here: youtu.be/nTYISpFTIq8?...
The signs of collapsing harvests are coming thick and fast now, but still @andyburnham.bsky.social plans to suck up more oil and gas, pump more CO2 into the atmosphere, and add to the heat, drought, and wildfires that compromise UK food production www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Ballot closes on 11th August, if we work hard we can defeat a climate criminal.
Another Green@anothergreen.bsky.social · 3w agoIf you are a Unite member and want more climate action (not less), look out for the ballot paper which should arrive in the next couple of days. Sharon Graham has argued for more drilling in the North Sea and briefed against Ed Miliband because of his work on net zero. Time to dump Sharon!
Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness
Burnham promises ‘pragmatic’ approach to North Sea oil and gas
PM tells reporters the government cannot ignore the energy resource ‘when people are struggling’

Think our basic rights are safe? In the age of oligarchs and corporate lobbying, think again | George Monbiot
The global assault on our freedoms is coming ever closer to home. Just look at the sinister prosecution of UK lawyer Rajiv Menon, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It has upset people to see 50 cows killed in public. Let’s hope the omnivores realise that killing in slaughterhouses is just as bad, if not worse. Killing is never “humane” wherever life is stolen from a sentient being who has no desire to die.

Councillor Eugene McConnell said while there may have been valid reasons for the cull, the public way it was carried out was "disturbing".

My column today in The Guardian about why American oligarchs complicit in the Trump admin’s ecocide should face the same types of sanctions as Russian oligarchs complicit in Putin’s war and crimes www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Trump and his oil-and-coal oligarchy should face sanctions for their war on the environment | Alexander Hurst
Europe punished Russian billionaires over the war in Ukraine. It should do the same to those abetting an ecocidal regime, says Guardian Europe columnist Alexander Hurst

As governments row back on green measures, there has never been a more important time to make a lot of noise True, many climate scientists are speaking out and taking action, but many more are still hiding in the undergrowth This is just not good enough www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Wildfires are raging – and the world has junked 45 climate pledges. Disaster looms, and little wonder | Bill McGuire
Five years ago, I wrote an open letter asking climate scientists to speak out. Now governments are in retreat, it is surely time to act, says climate professor Bill McGuire

“Intensive chicken farming has spread out of control in the UK, & the 100-fold increase in the movement of campylobacter is the latest in a long list of devastating consequences…the govnment is absurdly looking to relax planning rules to build yet more of these disease-ridden industrial facilities.”
Industrial chicken farming accelerating spread of diarrhoea bacteria, study finds
Intensive nature of modern chicken farming creates ideal conditions for campylobacter, allowing bacteria to evolve

The “persistence of inaction” on the climate emergency is actually an understatement given the backtracking on climate action by governments such as the UK (e.g. airport expansion), the USA (too many reversals to mention) & also the EU.

Try actually reading the definition of veganism, paying special attention to the “as far as is possible and practicable” part. It’s not about perfection, but choosing to cause less harm. I may inadvertently step on an ant while walking. It’s not intentional. Eating meat IS intentional, needless harm
The only honest argument anyone can make for eating animals is that they value fleeting, trivial taste pleasure over the lives of animals. That’s it. It’s abundantly clear that in the modern world humans don’t need to eat animals for any reason. All the rationalizations in the world won’t change it.
I did not go vegan because it was trendy. I went vegan because ethics should include every sentient being. Once compassion replaces convenience, the choice becomes clear: protect animals, reduce harm, and build a kinder world through #vegan living. #veganism #plantbased #ethics
In Wales, almost 95% of cow herds are TB-free without culling badgers, yet Reform politicians - backed by Plaid Cymru - want to scapegoat badgers as the cause of TB in cows. If politicians and the farming lobby get their way, this will be an absolute tragedy.
They say humans are the most intelligent species on the planet! Where is the intelligence?

Major climate impacts on crops in North America and Europe. Major shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and now, potentially, the Red Sea. Transit through the Panama Canal threatened by drought. It's time we started getting serious about #FoodSecurity.
