AMOC campaigners with the AMOC bomb outside London's City Hall

How much longer will the BBC, ITV, Sky, C4 and C5 hide AMOC collapse from the British people?

Campaigners were at City Hall today to demand London Assembly members start planning for the UK being plunged into a far colder, drier climate which would decimate agriculture. 🧵

✍️ ADD YOUR NAME: Phase out fossil fuels Emissions reduction targets won’t solve the climate crisis if they’re built on fiction. It's time for the government to tackle the biggest source of carbon emissions in Australia – fossil fuels.

CCNow announces #The89Percent Project, a year-long effort to shine light on the fact that a huge majority of the global population want governments to “do more” to fix #ClimateChange. We’ll kick off with a coverage event in April; we invite newsrooms & journalists everywhere to join us! Details:

Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk? The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today?

We could use biofuels to power our planes but it would take 50% of the UK's agricultural land.

Or we could use green hydrogen but it would take around 2 times our renewable energy generation.

In other words, green aviation requires way fewer flights and no airport expansion.

Who really cares about climate change, anyway?

Ich glaube, die Bedeutung von Wikipedia wird allgemein unterschätzt. Das ist eine großartige Wissenssammlung, auch wenn sie natürlich nicht perfekt sein kann. Wir sollten rechtzeitig überlegen, wie man Wikipedia verteidigen kann, bevor sie von Milliardären oder Troll-Armeen angegriffen wird.

More Americans, Risking Ruin, Drop Their Home Insurance (Gift Article) As climate threats worsen, they are skipping payments and losing protection.

“Homeowners’ insurance is where many Americans are now feeling the financial effect of climate change directly, in their pocketbook. Nature doesn’t really care whether people are living in a blue state or a red state or another state, or whether you do or don’t believe in climate change.”

“The oil majors knew that their emissions were going to cause this very outcome, and yet… they deceived the American public about it," @cadavejones.bsky.social said on @coveringclimatenow.org's panel on how climate change is fundamentally altering the insurance landscape.

Big Oil needs to pay.

A campaigner named Jon Fuller has performed an invaluable but soul-destroying service by monitoring the climate and nature coverage in the billionaire press for more than 5 years.

As he hands this work over to others, here are his reflections.

💯This should be the top news story globally! An air monitoring station has recorded the biggest jump in atmospheric CO2 since monitoring began in 1958. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere measured by a Hawaii based weather station rose by 3.58 parts per million in 2024 😬
