Thanks Kevin. It was an honour to have you speaking at the event. We've had so many comments from people overcome with emotion at the relief of hearing a frank, honest assessment of the interconnected climate/nature crisis - the essential first step towards genuine emergency action. πŸ™

Over 1000 top #UK #scientists have signed a strongly worded letter to the #UKGovernment calling for attention to tomorrow's #NationalEmergencyBriefing #NEB. Solutions for stopping global heating will make us so much better off. But that's seriously underreported. www.nebriefing.org/open-letter

The extent to which intelligent people can twist their brains in knots to avoid the obvious never ceases to amaze

For those willing to confront reality:

The IPCC is perfectly clear on the need to strand the majority of fossil fuel assets in order to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement

Utter madness. No direct reference to fossil fuels in the draft #COP30 agreement 🀯

The 1,600+ fossil fuel lobbyists have done their job.

We now need a major nation to honestly confront the crisis, break Big Oil’s deadly grip on our politics - and show what’s possible. #NEB2025
