The foreign 'strangers' that are destroying the UK, are the billionaires who don't live here, don't pay tax here, but we HAVE to make them richer, and every year has to have record profits.

Lets get rid of these 'strangers'.

Recharging by the sea ready for another busy week of climate communications. Protect nature, it gives us everything we need 💕

The Vegan Vs. Carnivore Narrative Distracts From Climate Action How food fights fuel conflict instead of solutions.

We deserve better than hyper-polarized division on food and diet.

I share some thoughts.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Here’s today’s #goodclimatenews!

There’s still good news!

90% of new energy projects built in the US last year were renewable.

Researchers in China have made aluminum-ion batteries more efficient.

France is poised to ban PFAS chemicals in most consumer products.

Clean energy contributed to 10% of China’s GDP last year.

We still are making progress despite all the horrors we face!!

I've been pretty quiet on here but we've just finished our move from France to Sweden. Looking forward to exploring all Goteborg has to offer ... let me know if you have any recommendations for places to visit, activities with children, or environmental groups to get involved in! Tack!

Trump orders USDA to take down websites referencing climate crisis Websites offer only error messages on Thursday after president demands agriculture department shutter sites

We knew this kind of stuff was coming, but it doesn't make it acceptable.

Purging science is an attack on democracy.

Every year, the World Economic Forum at Davos reports on the consensus of risks facing the world.

In the short-term, it's DISINFORMATION.

Long-term, it's CLIMATE CHANGE.

And, guess what, they're linked!

Psst... There is no "energy emergency" in the United States.

What we have is a climate emergency.

📢 BACK THE BILL!

The Climate & Nature Bill is CRITICAL for our ocean and wild spaces. Make sure your MP knows to back the #CANBill on January 24th 🌊🌳

Bill Gates says 2024 was a big step for climate tech like green steel, and now is the time for VCs to snag 'garage' innovators Bill Gates and his investment firm, Breakthrough Energy, said corporations now see climate tech as "crucial to the survival of their businesses."

"Let's deploy things that actually are cheap enough and scalable enough and ready enough," like solar power, battery storage, EV charging stations, and other tech that's already proliferating, said @globalecoguy.bsky.social ... uk.news.yahoo.com/bill-gates-s...

2025 will be a critical year on the road to address climate change.

Despite the growing sense of alarm, we are still falling behind.

But we can catch up — especially if we are smart.

The best place to focus now is on large, cheap, and *fast* climate solutions — that pull the “emergency breaks”.

IPBES report sees climate, nature and food challenges interlinked A new approach is needed to tackle the interlinked crises afflicting the planet, scientists warn.

We can’t look at climate change, biodiversity loss, and human wellbeing in separate silos anymore.

Next — we need to look for effective, evidence-based solutions at the intersection of climate, nature, and people.

Most folks don’t realize this, but a single pound of beef is responsible for about 100 pounds of greenhouse gas pollution.

That’s 50x worse than coal, on pound for pound basis.

Image shows a factory with 3 chimneys releasing steam. It also shows the title of a science journalism article: Counting Carbon Footprints - Experts assess the tearm beloved by oil firms

A quarter century since we learned about ‘carbon footprints’, researchers say it’s time to change the conversation.

The term has shifted too much of the burden to individuals, they think.

I’m spending my #BlackFriday with family decorating for the holidays and educating folks about energy and climate on #BlueSky. I got enough stuff to be satisfied and I’m not interested in fighting with others for consumer goods I don’t need.

How food and farming will determine the fate of planet Earth Agriculture has disrupted the planet more than anything we have ever done, including burning fossil fuels. A sustainable future depends on recognizing this fact – and radically changing how we farm an...

Overall, the global food system does more damage to the planet than anything else we do, even burning fossil fuels.
