Curlew Curlew

The world's leaders need to start joining the dots when they make strategy.

The technology needs investment to improve. These play an important role in reaching net zero, combating air pollution etc!

Of course...

They do all reduce your risk, though.

New work from Animal Ethics is drawing attention to the growing body of evidence on aquatic animal sentience. Seantience, a short documentary directed by Xiana Castro, brings together recent findings on the capacity to feel in both vertebrates and invertebrates.

Mike Scott and the Waterboys - still the best lyrics and best sound, over all the decades I've listened to music.

But I want to know what flag you fly so freakily before I buy a ticket.

A small tan dog stands on a veterinary examination table while a person gently holds its front legs. Over the image is a Green Party graphic with the headline “Environmental Impact of Pet Parasiticides.” Below it is a quote asking what action the government has taken to reduce the environmental impact of pet parasiticides, especially fipronil and imidacloprid. A small circular photo of Natalie Bennett appears with the caption “Green Party Peer,” and the Green Party logo is at the bottom.

Pet parasiticides are entering soils and waterways, harming the very ecosystems we depend on. Ministers must act on the evidence and reduce this chemical load on nature.

No women?

30th November marks Remembrance Day for Lost Species and we are remembering the Slender-billed Curlew.

We want to keep the name of the Slender-billed Curlew alive and hold it in our hearts as we learn from the loss.

This cannot happen again on our watch. 💔

Santa Claus has been arrested under the Terrorism Act in Norwich after it turns out Santa oppo-ho-ho-ses genocide and supports Palestine Action.

These four officers will be having their names checked twice this year.

Let it grow out?

I'm racking my brain who might have the chops to play @zackpolanski.bsky.social in the inevitable TV drama about the Green surge of 2025.

Ideally needs to be a actor/politico type.

Anyone got any ideas?

Catch our Leading interview with Zack Polanski from Sunday at 6pm.

It's not one to miss... 🔥

Another exciting week as your MP holding the government to account on fair funding for rural communities, action on tackling climate breakdown, cost-of-living and wealth tax measures, and much more!

The @nebriefing.bsky.social was excellent work, with scientists from across the disciplines explaining to public figures exactly what we face if we don't address climate change and ecological collapse urgently.

Now all involved must keep the pressure on, and act now to save what we can.

Thank you Wera 🙏

I wonder if @sioldridge.bsky.social can provide a list of those who attended yesterday's @nebriefing.bsky.social? It would be great to contact them about this, while the event is still vivid and powerful in their minds.

Great work Simon, thank you. Is there going to be follow-up with those who attended, e.g. to get their stated commitments, or at least intentions?

I saw five (shorter) 'rude' words almost immediately 😅

I've been Outclassed (10)

Jeremy, I admire your courage and principles. But we already have all of that - in the Green Party. Where you would be more than welcome.

You’ve seen the signs: ‘Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted’. They lie. In the UK ‘trespass’ is a civil offence, not a criminal one. You cannot face prosecution simply for being on someone’s land, off a designated Right of Way, open access land, or land where bylaws permit access, without permission.

Good read, Anna - thank you. As for that word: I have often seen 'interbeing' used for what I think you're describing so beautifully here.

Tim Lenton speaks to the audience

Professor of Climate Change Tim Lenton @exeter.ac.uk describes tipping points cascades.

Coral reefs appear to be doomed.

AMOC collapse will both freeze and superheat UK, and halve wheat and maize globally.

Positive tipping points, eg death of oil & gas from policy are essential for survival.

Hayley Fowler speaks to an audience

Extreme weather scientist @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social says fossil fuels will make 8 million UK homes at risk of flooding by 2050.

Heat will bring more UK wildfires. Healthy people can die within hours of extreme heat in eg. India.

Permanent crisis management avoided by urgent cuts of fossil fuels.

Kevin Anderson speaking to the audience

Climate scientist @kevinclimate.bsky.social says “we need to eliminate fossil fuels”.

Societal and ecological collapse at 3-4C warming.

For <2C, the UK has 7 years of current CO2 emissions.

Drax and CCS are delay tech.

Heat pumps, good public transport, and deep cuts of aviation are essential.

Remarkable that stepping into the space requires bravery. Is that because of political peer pressure, or the difficult truths they'll be confronting?
