the climate movement.

Great news!

🚨BREAKING NEWS!

Medics that broke windows at JP Morgan HQ to expose fossil fuel financing links to climate devastation found NOT GUILTY today by jurors.

Anyone in the news talking about this?

Anybody?!?

Heroes one and all 👏

They risked a great deal to expose the moral rot inside JPMorgan.

A friend pointed me to a post on social media of a letter by Kerry McCarthy MP (Labour, Bristol East) about a request for a televised emergency briefing on the #ClimateEmergency

I was stunned by how casually the idea & its urgency were dismissed. Let’s unpack why this response is so wrong-headed 🧵

The optimist vs pessimist divide in #climate debates isn’t usually about the data.

It’s about how the same graphs are read, what people emphasise, what they discount, and how they interpret pace and stakes.

Here’s what I mean 🧵👇

The UK Government tried to hide a devastating report which demonstrates the impact of global biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse on national security.

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0e...

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt

You may’ve seen coverage of a new report on the threat to national security from environmental collapse.

A common response that’s got my goat is: “Look, it’s not just tree-hugging enviros saying this, it’s hard-nosed spooks!”

A short thread on why this framing is bad history & bad politics🧵😡😉

This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication.

I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵

Please support the National Emergency Briefing team to produce a documentary film to promote the raising of awareness about the climate and nature related threats we face: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/Dy42q3QW

⚡2026 is a turning point. UK #climate & environmental activists face both crisis & opportunity.

Fascism rises, the #climate agenda is under attack, & political representation is urgent.

🧵A longish thread on why we must unite behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social & the @greenparty.org.uk 💚

This moment matters and YOU can be part of changing the story.

The climate and nature crises aren’t distant problems but existential threats to our health, food, communities and future generations.

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement.

Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven.

Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025.

Israeli troops kill six Palestinians sheltering in Gaza school, say hospital chiefs Attack brings total number of Palestinians killed by Israel to 401 since October ceasefire took effect

Israeli forces have massacred six Palestinians civilians, including a baby, taking shelter in a school.

The genocide in Gaza continues.

7 years after XR first called for urgent climate action, a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, and citizen-led decision-making, none of those demands has been met.

While we’ve been failed by this in power who’ve approving new fossil fuel projects while restricting climate protest.

The forces of repression, extraction and exploitation are powerful and deeply entrenched. But history shows that even the most immovable structures can shift when people organise – and what once seemed impossible can become possible

A man in a business suit in handcuffs representing the bankers jailed in Iceland after the 2009 financial crash.

Iceland did something after the 2008–09 crash that the US, UK and EU pretend is impossible as Trump and his vile ilk ride rough shod over our democracies.

It confronted and punished its corrupt bankers and failed politicians.

And rebuilt a fairer society from the rubble. 🧵

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Governments are backtracking on climate action, driven by media inaccuracies and a “feedback loop between scientific denialism and political inaction”. The impact is clear at #Cop30, where rich nations are showing a “reduction in enthusiasm”

I’ve just announced I’ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , it’s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all .
