*New paper* Just published in @ConLetters with @JMBecologist and @Thierryaaron - “The recent past is not a reliable guide to future climate impacts” Here’s a🧵on some of the key points… conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Kirsty Wark calls three times for a genuinely mass movement with more moderate tactics than #ExtinctionRebellion, starting from where and how people live… she’s virtually naming the impulse for a #ModerateFlank!

NEW: Utterly damning Court judgment on Govt's climate plans - they're too vague, & don't stack up The illegality of Govt's Net Zero Strategy is highly embarrassing - they need to remedy it within 8 months @friends_earth @ClientEarth @GoodLawProject goodlawproject.org/news/we-won-ne…

"Be clear, this WILL come for you." Watch my interview about this unprecedented extreme hot weather on @TRTWorldNow. We might have thought we were relatively immune in Britain but, as we are finding out, that's not the case. #UKHeatwave #ClimateCrisis youtube.com/watch?app=desk…

We in the media are mealy-mouthed about this. EVERY heatwave is made more likely by emissions and EVERY one is made worse. We're now at 1.2C above historic and heading for 2C or 3C. What are we thinking will happen? @Vic_Gill @BBCJustinR @JonahFisherBBC @whippletom @r4Today

'The Climate Tipping Points'. SUPERB series of 5 short programmes from @BBCJustinR Easy to understand, detailed, sobering, impassioned and perhaps finally more relevant to many in the midst of #heatwave. #ClimateEmergency #environment #politics bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Today is #NationalMeadowsDay! The loss of our uplifting hay meadow habitats in the UK makes my heart hurt, so I want to share with you the secret for turning your lawn into a mini wildflower meadow for *free* 👊 (1/7)

Just finished hosting busy week of Wild Learning Days discovering the ancient ways of the woods with over 100 pupils and staff @KCSWimbledon. Huge thanks to all involved for sharing the many delights of the journey, especially the Nettle soup. #nature #Wellbeing #environment

When @wareily decided to plant fruit trees in lines through his arable fields, his neighbours thought he was mad - but is this the future of farming? In tomorrow's On Your Farm @charlottebsmith sees if Stephen's farm deserves to win the #bbcfoodawards Farming for the Future Award

This week I've been supporting @theactionnet through emails to @bankofengland staff. Digital Rebellion sign up and guidance for taking action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/digital-… #ClimateEmergency #FossilFuels

Doughnut Economics & Extinction Rebellion featured on @BBCWomansHour today - talking climate science, new economics & the proven power of collective action. Listen in: bbc.in/3DgZtS7 Story starts at 26 mins, I join at 44 mins. @XRebellionUK @DoughnutEcon

A useful thread highlighting how many denialists have morphed into snake-oil sellers, pedalling incremental tweaks as an alternative to real-scale action. Whilst others are protecting their hi-CO2/consumption lifestyles behind false concern for those less well off than they are.

these two sycamores are a great example of retrenchment. this is where a tree, past its youthful prime, shrinks into a smaller tree by developing its lower crown and shutting down its upper crown. this is often the beginning of the veteran phase of a tree's life cycle

UK Government's plans for airport expansion go directly against its commitment to cut emissions under the Paris Agreement. This @friends_earth's petition asks Gov't to stop airport expansion. @https://act.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/tell-uk-government-stop-airport-expansion

Regenerative farming shift could reduce UK climate emissions, say experts theguardian.com/environment/20…

@KevinClimate Couldn't agree more. We've never met, but your honesty, straight-talking, superb communication style, and humour have been an ever-reliable light in the darkness over these last few years. And I recommend your work to anyone who will listen, and many who won't. Thank you.

Many thanks for your kind support.

Great and readable summary of #IPCC21 findings by Carbon Brief! Their staff didn’t stop with the Summary for Policy Makers but worked through the full report. carbonbrief.org/in-depth-qa-th…

The climate crisis is not caused by vague “human actions”; nor is it a result of some innate aspect of human nature. It is caused by specific investments by specific people in specific things. Change those, and we can change the future. Me for @Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A 2,500-year-old ancient olive tree from the village of Rovies in Evia has been burned to the ground. One of the countless damages of this week's incalculable catastrophe.
