Claire Coutinho is on Laura Kuenssberg’s show tomorrow. I hope she’ll talk about this week’s scary reports on galloping climate change from the World Meteorological Organisation & @thecccuk.bsky.social, & the urgent need (for bills & climate) to have a successful AR7 renewables auction. Let’s see.

Hear hear. As a life long member of @rspb.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social and @nationaltrust.org.uk I feel betrayed by their absence

Hello, @rspb.bsky.social, @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social, @nationaltrust.org.uk.
Where the hell are you?

Over the years, our big conservation groups, once brave and radical, have been taken over by suits: people with an Establishment mindset, who identify with the system they should be contesting. They wheedle and appease when they should be fighting with every legitimate tool they have.

This bill will rip down more or less everything: almost all the nature protections that generations in this country have fought for. We're a nation of nature lovers, and that interest is meant to be represented by the big groups. But, yet again, they fail to fight for our species and ecosystems.

Yet they've completely rolled over, withdrawing their opposition to the devastating Planning and Infrastructure Bill, in return for a handful of pathetic amendments that aren't worth the paper they're written on. Since then, the government has introduced further amendments, making it even worse.

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵

🌍 Excellent news! The JNCC and @thecccuk.bsky.social have signed an agreement to strengthen collaboration between our two statutory scientific advisers on nature and climate.

The climate crisis cannot be solved without solving the nature crisis—they need joined-up solutions.

Climate investment is only growth opportunity of 21st century, says leading economist Lord Stern says fossil-fuelled growth is futile as the damage it causes ends in economic self-destruction

📢 Lord Stern: “Investment in climate action is the economic growth story of the 21st century, while growth fuelled by fossil fuels is futile because the damage it causes ends in self-destruction.”

Chemistry Nobel Given for Molecules That Aid Carbon Capture Scientists from Japan, the UK and Jordan were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for creating molecular constructions with potential to help combat climate change.

National Emergency Briefing on climate & nature An unfiltered assessment of the latest threats to UK food supply, health and national security from eight leading experts to an invitation-only audience - also covering positive solutions. Westminster...

Experts warn of food shortages and civil unrest. Yet nearly half of Brits think climate change won’t affect them.

This gulf in perception is why we’re staging the National Emergency Briefing on the #climate & #nature crisis.

Has your MP confirmed they’ll be there? 👇

UK MPs “overwhelmingly overestimate the time period humanity has left to bend the temperature curve”, according to new research published this week.

Is your MP one of these? They need to attend the National Emergency Briefing on 27 November

@emmagarnett.bsky.social at the Green Party conference last weekend, asking support for a motion in favour of an electrified East West railway line (Cambridge-Oxford). The project draws some criticism - but how could I not be swayed by Emma?
The motion was passed!

Top picture, voi scooters and a Lime bike blocking the pavement. Bottom picture: pavement cleared, scooters and bike lined up neatly on the side

I moved some errant voi scooters and a lime bike (with a terrible puncture) from blocking the pavement by Warneford Lane roundabout.

People! Don't block pavements with stuff you've hired!
Able-bodied people passing! Do move them if you are able.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.
