Lula’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while! I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives Thank you Brazil!

Please don't leave Halloween pumpkins to rot in your garden, or dump them in the countryside. Eating mouldy pumpkins can make hedgehogs, birds and other animals poorly. Instead, dispose of pumpkins in a covered compost bin or council food waste bin. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/5-i...

I just emailed my MP asking him to not only oppose Rosebank (he likely does), but to be vocal in the media about his opposition. Tutting from the bank benches is not enough. act.clientearth.org/page/200461/...

Cardiff's climate-wrecking data centre would have little chance of going ahead if it was not supported by the local MP, Jo Stevens @jostevenslabour.bsky.social, who has thus far declined to take my calls or respond to my emails.

I saw a screenshot of this and had to go and check if it was real. How can you be the BBC’s cyber correspondent and not have heard of PHP before yesterday? *And* now be talking confidently about it on the news. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Currently wondering what message the UK govt thought it was sending by dressing up the Minister for Net Zero in a literal Shell logo.

The government didn’t just approve Jackdaw, they also reiterated their support for so-called tiebacks - a dodge to allow yet more new drilling without new licenses. This deserves almost as much scrutiny as Jackdaw and has got barely any of it, so I raised it in the Chamber.

Right now, the UK government has a crucial chance to ban glyphosate from public spaces and garden centres, but they’ll only step up if enough of us make our voices heard. It only takes 2 minutes. Thanks! act.gp/3WpxIot

So little is being done about 38,000 hectares of woodland being destroyed by invasive Rhododendron Ponticum and Cherry Laurel (that for some reason are both still legal to sell in the U.K.?!) that the BBC noticed our event and came along to shine a light on the process. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Depressing to hear the BBC propagating the non-story started by the Tories about the possibility of power cuts because of renewables A classic fossil fuel lie being given credibility by our public service broadcaster #BBCR4Today

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

Nature bounces back: 5,000 butterflies appear at chalk grassland restoration project at Halnaker Hill in Sussex, two years after its reversion from arable land I’ll be talking lots about chalk grassland restoration in my next book THE GHOSTS OF CHALK COUNTRY… www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A huge thank you to the 28,000 people who stood up for this natural treasure and demanded that it be protected. Other vital and priceless landscapes like Coul Links deserve the same. So tap the link to find out more about how you can take action 💚 brnw.ch/21x6zFO

About time - but the applicants can appeal (again).

Here's Sir David Attenborough on why this huge, heart-shaped piece of the UK in Northumberland is so important. A chance like this to save massive space for nature won't come again. £11,000 donated yesterday, £1.37m still to go by the end of the month - the time is now! 💚 #conservation #ukwildlife

Some early morning reading for the Energy Minister #Jackdaw #Rosebank👇

Plenty of utter BS from the government and FF supporters being used to justify this monstrous decision Every tonne of CO2 we don't emit counts - and every tonne we do takes 400,000 years to completely remove from the atmosphere Politically inept too www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Urgent: the government is soon to decide whether to give the green light to Rosebank, a move that would lock us into decades more climate-wrecking oil. @friends-earth.bsky.social tool helped me ask my MP to say no to new oil and gas – will you do the same? action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/deman...

This is truly pathetic from Ministers. Labour’s claim to more than 27 new Jackdaw jobs doesn’t hold up. The green economy is >£100bn a year and growing fast. There is no future in fossil fuels. The Government knows this, but chooses profit for Shell over protecting our climate.

Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

The Govt claiming we must drill more fossil fuels so we can use the tax revenues to fund the green transition is about as logical as a doctor telling you to smoke 2 packs a day to raise the money for your lung transplant You don’t put out a fire by pouring on more fuel 🔥#Jackdaw

A friendly reminder 🕸️⚠️ Fake spider webs can pose a real danger to autumn #wildlife such as hedgehogs, birds, bats and many insects who can become trapped and unable to break free. 🕷️ Help wildlife this #Halloween by making sure your celebrations don't become frightful for nature! 💚

The climate crisis is a health crisis. That's why I have written to Yvette Cooper to ask her what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero about the potential health impacts of emissions from allowing drilling at Rosebank and Jackdaw.

Absolutely love this “There is wonder to be found everywhere”. It’s why I rarely hunt out rarities but can spend hours fascinated by urban ‘weeds’ on walls, pavements and in gutters. And I’ll never look at Herb-Robert in the same way again. Thank you Sarah!

We have until Thursday 29th October to stop Thames Water from being bailed out yet again at our expense. Andy Burnham, block the bailout, remove their licence, TAKE IT BACK. Sign the petition 👇 weownit.org.uk/act-now/tham...

Among Keir Starmer's worst deeds were his legislative and rhetorical attacks on nature protection. In those two wasted years, we spiralled backwards, even from the Tory legacy. At this week's biodiversity summit, the Burnham govt should pledge to turn that round. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You may have seen reports about the campaign for charities to be more 'transparent' about who funds them. Well it turns out the mysterious new right-wing think tank behind it won't say who funds or runs them, and used fake names for the authors of the report which launched their campaign

The new Prime Minister is writing a "10-year plan" for the UK. The arts & culture MUST be part of it. I've signed @campaignforthearts.org's petition urging @andyburnham.bsky.social to revitalise the arts – to revitalise the whole nation 🌱 Join me: www.campaignforthearts.org/petitions/10-year-plan/

It takes a farmer five minutes to meet the legal requirements for warning signs on electric fencing. I crossed three fences without signs today. They cost £10 for five. Get some. Or you can expect a visit from the rights of way officer. www.apukonline.com/80580-5x-ele...

Every study shows that decarbonising and *doing the things we legally agreed to do but needed Insulate Britain to remind us about* are cheaper for everyone and bring bills down. Cutting “The Green Crap” has only ever put bills *up* short term and long term. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We originally planned to display this exhibition inside Parliament like we did with Outsiders and had a famous MP as sponsor. Soon became clear internal political forces meant he wouldn’t be able to get it through. We can’t find any MP willing to sponsor it who has the political clout to get it

Here is @monkemma.bsky.social again, with another powerful thread. Very good. Better than good. Even if you thought you knew it, I bet you, you didn't by a long way

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

As a break from book promotion, please feast your eyes upon this smörgåsbord of Tasmanian 'dragon' springtails! I got the opportunity to visit Hobart at the weekend to go on a dragon hunt... I'll be adding more photos very soon, including fluffy mites & Tasmanian velvet worms! #Macrophotography 🧪📸
