US climate activists condemn 18-month jail term for non-violent art museum protestor Timothy Martin
- ‘It’s hard to fathom how a peaceful protester can receive more prison time than many of the Jan 6 insurrectionists’
Story by @ninalakhani.bsky.social

President Trump says the U.S. will “immediately” resume testing nuclear weapons for the first time since the 1990s.
Nuclear expert and disarmament advocate Dr. Ira Helfand says the move will inflame geopolitical tension and that “our luck is going to run out at some point.”
If you’re going to do some insulating or air tightness/draught proofing, I recommend buying or borrowing a thermal image camera if you can.
It’s useful not just for identifying areas to insulate, but checking your work for defects that are often not obvious to the naked eye.
Another 2025 report and another signal that we are failing at facing the crisis head on.
No one is treating this as an emergency!
WMO: Emissions are still going up.
UNFFFC: Nations have only committed to 10% reduction in emissions by 2035 (35% required to stay below 2ºC)
Now this👇🏻
This all with background global heating of ~1.5°C and 425 ppm CO2 concentrations.
What happens with each 0.1° increase?
We are now ~99% certain to cross 2°C
We are completely unprepared for the global climate chaos this trajectory is unleashing.

“The prevailing assumption is that the world has closed off pathways above 3°C warming – but in fact we could be derailed by vicious cycles in societies & nature. Catastrophic environmental change is still very much on the table“ - @jamesgdyke.info Assistant Director of @gsiexeter.bsky.social

Under the current criminalisation of protest, even the famous campaigners that we celebrate in the UK would be at risk of arrest simply for peacefully protesting.
The right to protest is a cornerstone of our democracy; we cannot allow its restriction to go unchallenged.

You might not agree with every protest you see, but these anti-protest laws could stop you having your say on anything from disability rights, employment rights or even your local library shutting.
The government must stop this attack on protest now. --> act.gp/43pAgnt

🚨BREAKING: Activists have imprisoned DANGEROUS TERRORISTS Mandela, Gandhi, and Millicent Fawcett statues in Parliament Square.
They've been placed behind bars to expose the UK's extreme crackdown on protest.

The carbon flow of BECCS. When BECCS systems are employed, a negative carbon flow from the atmosphere into storage is created. From: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0961953422000678
We can find suitable land with sunlight, water, and nutrients to grow plants, wait years to harvest the biomass and burn it for energy, hope to capture the CO₂ with carbon capture and storage technology, and find a suitable spot to bury the CO₂ permanently.
OR we can use solar panels.
Worried about shutdown of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC? The collapse of the subpolar gyre is a likely step on the way to that and could happen a lot sooner. Not quite as bad as full AMOC shutdown, but could bring major impacts already in 10-20 years. Important study on the mechanism ⬇️!
