XR Nottingham

We officially started the Global Days of action!!! Look at this pink map! Not complete as actions are still signing up. Go and have a look, link in our Bio!!!! #protectwhatwelove #mothersrebellion #climatejustice #livableplanet

You can't clean up plastic once it's in the ocean You can't suck up fossil carbon once it's in the atmosphere You can't (quickly) regrow a forest once you've destroyed it Destruction needs to be addressed at source. It makes no sense to just damage everything and try to fix it afterwards

Sometimes it's good to read that something is heading in the right direction. Such and opportunity here, plug the leaks, but then, you know maybe.... '#juststopoil' and there wouldn't be any methane leaks from fossil fuel production in the first place! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The accelerating climate crisis means water is at risk. Let’s make decisions about what happens next. 19 Oct-19 Nov, shape the future of water using an inclusive decision-making tool; Polis. We can decide together to find common ground on water. xrb.link/Hg3n6qBV Donate: xrb.link/lk4d8lXx29D

Up and coming @nebriefing.bsky.social screenings around Nottingham: linktr.ee/pebnotts?utm... @xrnottm.bsky.social

“We believe that approval of Rosebank would be ignoring the warnings of scientific research on climate change & would be the wrong decision for the UK” A letter to Burnham & Fahnbulleh signed by 575 scientists, including me www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Extinction Rebellion supporters from across the UK marched in London today demanding that the government publish the full, unredacted National Security Assessment and outline a plan for the dangers it identifies. Because we’re all in the same soup and it’s coming to the boil!

LIVESTREAM: After an extraordinary summer of heatwaves and drought, #XRUK marched through the streets of #London banging decorated pots & pans. A giant pink casserole dish symbolised how "we're all in the same soup - and it's coming to the boil!" WATCH : www.youtube.com/live/sCuHU4k...

Sign this parliamentary petition and show our local MPs that #Nottingham folk care about the Climate and Nature emergency. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76... We can do even better than this, sign and share! @nebriefing.bsky.social @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social @jamesnaish.bsky.social

One of many screenings in Nottingham - see the list of local events organised by a variety of people and groups: https:/linktr.ee/pebnotts @nebriefing.bsky.social @leftlion.bsky.social @gedlingeye.bsky.social @greenpeacenotts.bsky.social

Australia's PM is blurting out climate delay talking points at a climate conference. Here's the latest - something I like to call 'The Overnight Rule'

They hacked the phone of a murdered schoolgirl then set up their own fake regulator. Former tabloid journalist Steve Tooze explains IPSO, why the @mediasovereignty.bsky.social act is the reform we need, and why Leveson 2 isn’t the answer. 🧵👇

Lots of mentions of the People's Emergency Briefing film (@nebriefing.bsky.social) today in a parliamentary debate on global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security #Climate #Nature #nebriefing #TellTheTruth #ActNow #EndFossilFuels parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

Just Stop Oil made a comeback this afternoon, blocking the road outside Parliament for several hours. JSO are acting on the science that shows new oil and gas means more fires, more floods and more deaths.... Will the UK government do the same? #StopRosebank #JustStopOil

It's now extremely hard for Irish people to conceive what a wild tree even looks like, with mostly only domesticated, tamed versions remaining. This rainforest holly gives an idea. Rewilding is how we allow not only wild trees back, but the entire ecosystems of which they're meant to be a part.

Next 'Disobey' talk by XRUK: Growing Food = Resistance. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/growi...

About bloody time. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

"More than 150 plant species have been recorded on Sayer’s Old Meadow, in north Norfolk, England, which is remarkable when there was just one – oilseed rape – growing there 21 years ago."

It's so obvious that our farming systems need to mimic nature, not be reliant on growing crops in dead soil, boosted by artificial fertilisers and bathed in herbicides and pesticides. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is what the billionaire press and many politicians were campaigning so hard to destroy. Their freedom to drive took precedence over our children's freedom to thrive. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is REALLY important. “Over 50% of Americans say climate change is a serious threat; only 10% think their compatriots feel the same That perception gap on the issue is among the highest in the world, per a new Gallup poll.” They want you to think you’re alone. You’re not. #ClimateCrisis

1. On 5th Aug, @zackpolanski.bsky.social delivered the National Emergency message that Andy Burnham should be giving! Powerful words from Zack, Chris Packham, a London firefighter, a Bristol GP and an ex Army officer. A must-watch, and one to share far & wide… www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

It's time to get our "energy from heaven, not from hell" youtu.be/9LTGzEzDat0?...

1/ Today Scientists on Survival visited the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero to remind the government of the scientific facts. New oil and gas 🛢️ = more fire 🔥, more extreme weather ⛈️, more food shortages🚫 and more death ☠️. For more details see thread🧵...

Amazing but let’s not stop there. Let’s aim for one million!! @nebriefing.bsky.social

Unbearable heat. Wildfires. People are becoming increasingly aware of climate change after the last few record-breaking months. And yet @andyburnham.bsky.social is still considering opening up new oil and gas drilling. We had a presence in town today, along with @xrnottm.bsky.social #StopRosebank

If @andyburnham.bsky.social were Prime Minister during the Blitz: "There is an urgent problem of bombs falling on London. They appear to be coming out of the sky. We convened a COBRA meeting to discuss it. The root causes of this problem are not something I am prepared to discuss." #ClimateEmergency

🔥The world’s on fire... and so is this petition! Over 69k people are now calling on the government to deliver a televised emergency briefing on the climate and nature crisis. Add your name and share! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

So many people see 'write to you MP' and don't do it. It really does matter. MP's massively underestimate public concern around climate/nature issues - they won't know how much you care unless you tell them. Do it now... info on how to do it here. www.writetothem.com

A temperature above 37°C has only been recorded on nine days in the UK since records began – three of those occasions have now been in 2026, including today. Reading University has recorded its warmest August day on record (since 1908), and second warmest day overall.

Our Prime Minister has had a lot to say today about subscriptions. Meanwhile, huge parts of the country are in drought. We're about to enter our fifth heatwave of the year, killing more people. Are we going to get anything from the Government? Literally anything?

Interesting conversation - worth a listen: youtu.be/mBFos_T7cT0?... #TellTheTruth #ActNow

Another @nebriefing.bsky.social People’s Emergency Briefing film. Today we’re at Sneinton Community CIC, Nottingham, with fresh popcorn supplies. What a wonderful venue 💚

BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

EVERY SINGLE news item of ‘this week’ roundup of Farming Today covers a problem for farming and food supply related to global warming and fossil fuel dependance. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The Daily Telegraph has raced through all five stages of climate denial this week. But this is, perhaps, the most ridiculous column so far: "Without minimising the severe downsides…especially on some poorer nations, many in Britain would enjoy the kind of warmer climate predicted by modellers..."

European wildfires www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... and more info: www.theguardian.com/world/wildfi...

Is this a sick joke or the cover of a dystopian satirical novel? The headline asks readers to fear the solution more than the climate catastrophe. History will judge this kind of journalism very harshly 1/3

The Prime Minister, @andyburnham.bsky.social, has spoken about being honest about the challenges we face. So, as we welcome our new Prime Minister and cabinet, let's start there: Nature is disappearing. The climate crisis is accelerating. The UK cannot thrive while both continue unchecked.

Wealth tax explanation - super clear... £24billion/year for the energy transition perhaps? youtube.com/shorts/Ki_cJ...

"The world doesn't have to be this way, it doesn't. We made it this way, we tolerate it, we endorse it. And now we must unmake it." - Natalie Kyriacou 'How Will History Judge Us?' www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtqI...

This is such a clear explanation of that sick feeling you get listening to Radio 4 'journalism'...

Mel Evans, Co-Head of Climate Campaigns at Greenpeace UK, was on Times Radio earlier discussing why Andy Burnham should NOT approve the Jackdaw gas and Rosebank oil fields. Mel hits the nail on the head 👇

All sorts of speculation going around about @andyburnham.bsky.social position on new North Sea Oil & Gas, so good to be at this demo in Parliament Square this morning. #StopRosebank #RenewablesNotFossilFuels @xruk-actions.bsky.social @xrlondon.bsky.social

“totally changed the way I think about colonialism, direct action and English nationalism.” Part TED talk, part history lecture, part folk club sing-a-long, part storytelling session. www.tickettailor.com/events/modif...
