Hard to know which is more shocking - the apocalyptic warnings of the potential collapse of our food supply in the UK or the shameful fact that governments have tried to cover it up. Their complacency is off the scale …

For decades, dependence on fossil fuels meant dependence on volatility. In past oil shocks, countries had little choice but to absorb the pain.
Now they have an exit ramp: Homegrown renewable energy has never been cheaper, more accessible, or more scalable.
The resources of the clean energy era cannot be blockaded or weaponized. There are no price spikes for sunlight & no embargoes on the wind.
The fastest path to energy security, economic & national security is clear:
Speed up a just transition away from fossil fuels & toward renewable energy.

BREAKING:
absolutely huge update.. Vital to know: for, if we don't know what's coming, how can we prepare for it?: >.>Watch.. youtube.com/watch?v=59DZiPds…
...ITV have only stepped forward and revealed what is in the FULL officially-suppressed national security assessment!...
Jan 20
BREAKING!: Huge news: The Government has quietly published [link below] on its website, without any fanfare, the Joint Intelligence Committee / Defra report on
'GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY LOSS, ECOSYSTEM COLLAPSE AND NATIONAL SECURITY'
that it suppressed last October. It has presumably done this at this point (in the middle of an international crisis) to try to bury the story. <DON'T LET IT BE BURIED> ...this is a huge story. Just consider the report's title, for starters... the report warns of multiple likely ecosystem >collapses< that will have dire implications for our national security, and that require serious strategic adaptation at minimum. The report also sets out how these collapses if they are allowed to occur will significantly increase migration-pressure: "as development gains begin to reverse", a phrase that should make any human shudder in anguish. There is much more... But it doesn't end there: what they have published very much appears to be >only part of a larger piece of work<: there is no detail at all in what they have published on the geo-regional analyses; the connections from those regional analyses to the national security threats consequently facing Britain are not detailed; the "Key Judgements" of the report are not properly explained. It is fairly obvious what has happened here: in response to FOIs, they are trying to slip this report out, presumably because they feared it would otherwise get out anyway; but they have done so in a form that holds back much of the most disturbing content - the content that WE as citizens need to know if we are to know how to protect ourselves, what we are potentially going to have to adapt TO.
We must continue to press for the full report to be released...
But in the meantime there is much here to digest and reflect on, to put it mildly. Kudos to those who commissioned the report; do READ this version of it (it's only short!), and let's take it from there... Kudos too to those who pursued an (at least partly) successful battle to get the report released, via Freedom of Information requests...
>>Please share widely!

Human rights lift the world to a better place.
When rights are upheld, people live more freely.
Economies grow more fairly.
Communities trust more deeply.
And peace & stability take hold because dignity takes root.
Human rights are not an obstacle to progress – they are essential to progress.

We may speak thousands of languages but we all call this planet home. 🌍💚
While our languages are different, care for our Earth is universal.

Whilst it was obvious that Labour’s pointless water company bonus ban would be evaded, the more important point is that it is an utter distraction. Bonuses are a tiny rounding error of the cost of fixing illegal outfalls & banning them does nothing to get spades in the ground to fix the problem.
What we actually need is 3 things:
1. On the ground investigations on every river in England to find the illegal outfalls, quantify their harm & devise solutions.
2. A detailed staged plan in practical terms of how every single illegal outfall will be fixed within 10 years.
3. The Environment Agency being directed (and funded) to prosecute every single illegal outfall to the full extent of the law til they are fixed.
The rest is frankly irrelevant noise.

“We are nowhere near the stated goals of the Paris Agreement.”
That is not new information. It's confirmation.
MIT’s Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy shows that global temperatures and emissions are still rising as leaders stall and polluters keep business as usual.
Without real #climateaction, the planet keeps getting hotter. That’s not cool.

⚠️The River Wye - one of the UK’s most iconic and protected rivers - is on the brink of ecological collapse.
☠️ Once a vibrant natural asset, it is now suffocating under the weight of agricultural pollution.
👉We need action NOW. The Government must ensure the upcoming White Paper tackles agricultural pollution at its source and delivers real protection for the #RiverWye, before it's too late. @SaveTheWye

🛑 Just 3% of the most vital UK habitat for wildlife is in good condition. This MUST change or wildlife will be lost forever.
Govt just quietly released a report showing the #ClimateCrisis & water pollution are driving wildlife decline, yet protections are being weakened @WCL_News

Shocked by reports of violence & excessive use of force by the Iranian authorities against protesters resulting in deaths & injuries in recent days.
The rights to freedom of expression, association & peaceful assembly must be fully respected & protected.
I urge the Iranian authorities to exercise maximum restraint & refrain from unnecessary or disproportionate use of force.
I also urge steps that enable access to information in the country, including restoring communications.

Pollution undermines the human right to a healthy environment.
It also affects other rights, including health, water and food, hitting the most vulnerable the hardest.
@UNEP is calling for bold, urgent action to #BeatPollution and protect people’s rights.

Our planet is under strain like never before.
Temperatures rising, biodiversity collapsing & nearly every person on Earth breathing unsafe air.
But there is hope.
With the tide turning in favor of renewables & the help of the next generation, transformation is within reach.

The latest attempt at a #COP30 climate agreement is in – and it is a major letdown.
The draft text has zero commitments to end fossil fuels or stop deforestation. This won’t stop #ClimateChange and puts our future at risk.
We’re calling on countries to fix it – today. We can’t let ministers sign off on a deal that puts communities and nature on the line.
But it isn’t over. Not yet. The time to turn this around is now. Share this post and call for URGENT ACTION at #COP30

My message to ministers and negotiators here at #COP30:
Engage in good faith to reach an ambitious compromise.
1.5°C must be your only red line.
Be bold.
Follow the science.
Put people above profit.
This is the hour for leadership.
