Why have we seen such repression of climate activists around the world?
Because activists were so successful in changing the narrative around fossil fuels

“Feathery threat” 😂
The big problem with the “serious people should be left to do serious politics” thing is that the serious people doing serious politics have repeatedly fucked up for the past 40 years
This puts the "solar farm is spoiling the view where I walk my dogs" complaints into perspective
One glance at the top articles & I gave up reading about #COP30

10 years ago I felt hope with Paris
5 years ago I felt angry but motivated with the rise in climate activism
Today I feel numbness, apathy… & warm
The planning and infrastructure bill is a "full-spectrum assault on nature protection"
So where are the conservation charities? Where is the resistance? Where is our 'nation of nature lovers'?
The nature NGO’s @rspb.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk should be mobilising an army!
Instead they are cowering in trenches with their millions (pounds & members)
We need something new.
A radical, grassroots movement that actually fights for nature.

The UK should start planning for high levels of global warming — at least 2C above pre-industrial levels by 2050 and 4C by 2100.
"We believe that can’t be ruled out,” said Baroness Brown of @thecccuk.bsky.social, on the risk of 4C by the end of the century.

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane!

Someone please reassure me that the apple blossom I saw this morning is perfectly normal & not another sign we’re hurtling faster towards climate & biodiversity collapse
Please?

Let's empty the jails so we can fill them with octogenarians who care about genocide.
Because that's the real threat to society.
