"Just like wealth, true reform has never trickled down from the top— it is built from the ground up." Ahead of tomorrow's Budget, our ED Faiza Shaheen explains the roadblocks to the reform this country needs & how we remove them. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great work by Guy and others, which mustn't go to waste. Please respond, however briefly, to this consultation, and help end the feudal tradition of secrecy and exclusion. Democracy dies in darkness.

Utter madness if the upgrade scheme funding is cut. We're already lagging the rate of heat pump installs, and reducing the grant would kill the new industry.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

We talked about climate's impact on food this morning on BBC One's Sunday Morning Live: imported food that has got more expensive (chocolate, coffee, olive oil), food hit at home (milk, onions & potatoes, lamb & beef), and wine changing flavour. And what we can do about it. Full interview below

Your voices have been heard! After the massive fire at Dunwich Heath in July, 140,000 people signed our petition calling on Government to make climate resilience a national mission and restore nature to help curb wildfires.

I've heard this independently too www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Covid Inquiry’s Module 6 report is devastating. Its central conclusion: adult social care was treated as “something of an afterthought”, while “protecting the NHS” sometimes came at the expense of people receiving and providing care. 1/10

“I have worked on the AMOC for more than 30 years. I’m increasingly worried”, states PIKs @rahmstorf.bsky.social. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) carries warm water northward. #climatechange is putting this ocean circulation at risk. 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNOS...

Truly terrifying.

New - A leading UK gas microgrid company is selling gas-powered AI data centre projects, paired with unproven carbon capture, as "net-zero." AVK is behind Ireland's first gas microgrid data centre, and hopes to expand across the UK and Europe. My work @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/10/14/u...

Good words but need to be backed up by actions. The other action the US has taken against Ukraine this week is to shut down access to Starlink and you Ed are still supporting Musk by remaining on X. You would gain a massive amount of political capital if you ditch it before Burnham and Polanski.

Illegally blonde.

BREAKING: @greenpeace.be climbers are on the roof of the European Parliament in Brussels, protesting the EU's dependence on dirty, expensive fossil fuels Burning gas ruins Europe – it fuels the climate crisis, and financially ruins households with sky-high energy bills

From the 7th Carbon Budget report committees.parliament.uk/publications... If anything, that is saying that we need to increase the subsidy. A decrease would be madness.

10 years too late is still better than never Burnham needs to conduct a rapid and thorough review and then put the evidence into the public arena We can't let Putin decide weather or not we are members of the EU That he has had a long-term project to destroy www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Pure unadulterated evil.

From what I can see, this kicked off end of September. And it's become such a 'normal' thing to happen that today is the first I've heard of it.

Who deserves their flowers this Black History Month?

Fabulous initiative here. Could maybe extend across the country?

Three years ago Yonatan Zeigen’s mother, Vivian Silver, was brutally killed by Hamas in her home’s safe room. It was a moment that split his life into a before and an after.

Very depressing to see responses to this divided between "You're a racist" and "That isn't evidence". Old style Green party was always very keen on evidence and facts, but those look to have been ditched now with new style Green party going very much for uniform ideology worthy of a cult.

Two planned data centres will emit more carbon than the entire UK operations of ExxonMobil - and both plan to build their own gas power stations. Tell Andy Burnham to rule it out! www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

I find it both horrendously horrifying and terribly sad that anyone, particularly politicians in UK think state sponsored murder can ever be justified.

The "Zionism is racism" motion, to be debated at the Green Party conference tomorrow, will not advance the Palestinian cause one inch. But, if adopted, it would marginalise and discredit the party. There are powerful ways to confront the genocide. Toxic gesture politics isn't one of them.

Imagine a room full of brilliant jazz musicians, all playing solos, none of them listening to each other. That's climate communication right now--and we have the data to prove it. Join @fisherdanar.bsky.social, @bernwoodsplacky.bsky.social & I on our @tccollab.bsky.social webinar today, 3pm ET!

This keeps getting worse until we stop burning fossil fuels 🔥 #KeepItInTheGround

⚠️ Hate and division is on the rise. ♥️ But we stopped fascism before in Britain. We will stop its rise again.

Now THAT is an absolutely excellent idea! Hopefully can also be paid for using cheap finance deals.

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

Very happy to have been proved wrong on this one.

Seriously, are degrees worth anything any more?

Ha! I opened this up earlier to look at it and see what options might be suitable for our wildlife sites. Next time I check on my socials the money is all gone.

Oh for absolute fuck sake. If you manage to read this without wanting to break something then you’re doing better than me.

When is ageism going to become a crime. @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social why aren't you campaigning for the Robin Hood tax. Tax the super rich not poor pensioners.

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...

Swathes of UK economy are owned by foreign investors. No tax is deducted from billions paid to them in dividends. USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden have a dividend withholding tax for foreign investors. UK could do the same, generate billions. Why are super-rich privileged?

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

I was asked by a colleague from my oil & gas days (who has remained in the industry) why UK producing its own gas is less acceptable to the Greens (& others) than importing it from America and West Africa.' The full question & my reply is now online at: climateuncensored.com/there-is-no-...

Two RNLI volunteers were pictured in Portsmouth this weekend while responding during the Patriot Platform protest. The far right responded by identifying them and branding them “traitors”. This is what the far right’s “peaceful” activism looks like.
