"What if shouting louder doesn't help? Somewhere, other means have to be used, civil disobedience has to be resorted to. I believe that as an occasional participant in the Elokapina movement, I’ve done something more clear for the environment than I ever have as a researcher, let alone as a poet."

No wonder we are one of the most nature-depleted corners of this battered planet, with #biodiversity is a terrible state

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out

More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belém (Brazil), 12% up from last year’s talks in Baku, Azerbaijan.

What should be the most serious, urgent talks on the planet continue to be a farce.

Rain or shine, 1pm tomorrow at the Garden of Remembrance is the place to be for the big #climate demonstration, a chance to remind our politicians that this crisis hasn’t gone away.

This is such important reporting. How Fox News warped reality to create a false narrative of violent protests in Portland.

There is, according to the latest Emissions Gap Report, a 92% chance that we will blow past 2°C.

We are on highway to hell.

#ClimateCrisis

As #COP30 opens in Belém, a Greenpeace Spain activist walked a 30-metre-high tightrope in Madrid to send a clear message to governments: end fossil fuels, stop deforestation, and deliver climate justice.

The planet — and the 1.5°C limit — are on a tightrope.

The right-wing press are terrified of @zackpolanski.bsky.social because he is the first UK politician who doesn’t give a toss for their endorsement and thus can’t be corrupted by them. Worse, he actually revels in their lame attacks. 👏👏👏

Zack Polanski has shown why no sane person will be voting Green

Why won't someone think about the poor billionaires????

And the newspapers they own!

YouTube video by Danny Chambers MP demands release of penguins kept in basement of London aquarium

It's utterly unacceptable that penguins are kept in a cramped, windowless room at London’s Sea Life Aquarium. Denied fresh air, natural light and the space they need to thrive. I spoke on @lbc.co.uk about how their conditions are a world away from their Antarctic home.

Cop28 is a farce rigged to fail, but there are other ways we can try to save the planet | George Monbiot Inaction and self-interest are built into climate summits. Instead, we need a voting system that can’t be subverted by fossil fuel producers, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Two years ago, I wrote this about how the COP climate summits are designed to fail, and how they could be designed to succeed. Sadly, nothing has changed.

How thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists got access to UN climate talks – and then kept drilling Exclusive: Research shows oil, gas and coal firms’ unprecedented access to Cop26-29, blocking urgent climate action

WOW 😱

5,350‼️ #fossilfuel lobbyists have joined UN climate negotiations in the past years from COP26-29

Farage everywhere.
All of them shamelessly honking out their ‘Listen to me!’ garbage, as the country flails around in the unbelievable mess they’ve made.
Nauseating.

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried? The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

Billionaires are buying bunkers while the world burns!

A booming industry now sells luxury doomsday shelters to the rich — complete with gyms and prayer rooms — while the rest of us face the chaos they created.

What cowards.

Farage: epic grifter

If you think the Mail has learnt anything about how evil being far right is, think again!

They went full throttle on homophobia in the 80s-00s & then moved onto refugees ad nauseum & then relentless Islamophobia, & for the past decade far right transphobia.

The Daily Mail is a far right hate rag.

Russia's overnight drone attack on residential buildings in Kyiv has killed at least three people and injured at least 29 others, including seven children, Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported.

Really good to see this research published by @globalactionplan.bsky.social, Ricardo and @hertscc.bsky.social today. Domestic combustion is a major source of fine particle pollution in the UK, and this new research shows we could save the NHS more than £54m a year if unnecessary burning was stopped.

Divers in Orkney have told me their seabed is being destroyed. Scallop dredging is turning vibrant marine habitats into lifeless deserts.

🇬🇪💪 This is the fight of the Georgian people for freedom from corruption & authoritarianism.

Almost a year since the pro-Russian party consolidated its authoritarian power through fraudulent elections.

💚 We stand with the protestors against the increasing authoritarianism.

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

The Reform Backlash: Caerphilly By-Election Result Shows Nigel Farage’s Party Is Much Weaker Than It Looks Despite widespread media predictions of a Reform victory on Thursday, Farage's defeat shows his party continues to be overestimated, argues Adam Bienkov
