🌍 Extinction Rebellion BCP – March General Meeting 🌍

📅 Thursday 12 March
⏰ 7.30pm
📍 Brewhouse & Kitchen - Poole

Join us for our March general meeting as we keep building momentum for 2026.

Whether you’ve been involved with XR BCP for years or you’re completely new, you are very welcome.

A Better World is Possible. Help Extinction Rebellion BCP to Create It. No More Palaver. Fund Climate Action.

A Better World is Possible — but grassroots movements need funds to survive.

We are 100% volunteer-powered. Donations go straight to campaign materials + core running costs that keep local climate & nature action alive.

If you’re able to support, it really matters.

We can’t do this without you 💚

Frightening new paper by leading planetary scientists warning of cascading risks in the #climate system 😱

I previously explored the connectedness of key earth processes in this thread below 🧵

It seems like we have the dumbest trolls in government, but it's way worse than that.

These men are evil.

Every single one of them knows they're lying about climate change. They know that actual science shows it's real, it's us, it's dangerous, but we can fix it—yet they truly do not give a fuck.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels would save millions of lives and more than pay for itself in saved healthcare costs

It would be a no-brainer even if they weren't driving the breakdown of our life support systems

🌍 XR BCP – First General Meeting of 2026 🌍

New year. New strategy. Real plans.

On Thursday we’re sharing XR BCP’s new strategy and starting the work of turning it into real-world action.

Want to help plan actions, outreach and fundraising?

👉 Be in the room.

This is where 2026 begins. ✊💚

Biodiversity conservation has an evidence problem — it’s time to fix it Globally, more than one million species are threatened with extinction, but often interventions intended to protect biodiversity are not rooted in robust research. The field has an opportunity to chan...

I don't think biodiversity conservation has an evidence problem

I think it has a most of the world's biggest industries depend on destroying nature problem

This isn't an information deficit issue, we pretty much know what to do. The problem is that govs prioritise capital growth over survival

"[A new British intelligence report] echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists."

"Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse...”

You won't find more crucial reading than this.

From beaches to peaks, France is suffering effects of climate crisis The Climate Action Network has listed the current and foreseeable impacts of global warming in France, region by region, in a summary intended as a decision-making tool.

"Climate inaction costs far more than action... #Climate objectives must not adapt to the budgetary context, but vice versa... otherwise we won't be able to cope with the impacts of climate change in France" - @clarasannicolo.bsky.social, @reseauactionclimat.org

Yes - climate change presents a huge challenge. But the Climate Change Committee has modelled transitioning the UK economy to clean energy and finds it will save nearly £40 billion every year.

It's not just about avoiding the bad stuff.

We just need the courage to break out of business-as-usual.
