Grim news for the climate. Less reflective ice means more solar heat absorbed by the darker oceans—faster warming. It’s time for politicians to take their heads out the sand and brief the public on the seriousness of this crisis. theguardian.com/environment/…

'Follow the money' again proves to be a completely plausible explanation for biased media reporting.
Don't trust GB News. They want to keep us hooked on oil & gas, blocking cheap renewable power. In 2022/23, gas was so expensive that Gov had to pay out £40 billion in subsidies—just for one winter! Even then, many couldn't afford to heat their home. gov.uk/government/news/40bn-…

Disregard the misinformation surrounding the causes of these fires. The science is clear and unambiguous.
The peer-reviewed science shows that the primary factor behind the increase in wildfire extent in the western U.S. is increased aridity and fuel load due to human-caused warming. Via @AAAS @RealSciLine: sciline.org/climate/climate-…

Scientists are among those most trusted by the public. And scientists are telling us clearly that climate breakdown is happening now - and that we are the cause. So please support us in our efforts to curtail the harms and damages we will all face if we don't act now
“It is absolutely critical, too, that scientists are in the vanguard. Some are already doing their bit, but far too many remain silent on the greatest ever threat to human civilisation. This has to change.” We agree, and you probably do too. If you're a scientist, here's how 🧵

California’s wildfire season is typically runs from June or July through to October. While January wildfires aren’t unprecedented recent data show the season is beginning earlier & ending later due to rising temperatures and decreased rainfall tied to #ClimateChange. #PalisadesFire ktla.com/news/ap-us-news/ap-…

Scientists are trading lab coats for protest banners. Faced with government inaction on the climate crisis, they feel duty-bound to act—risking arrest to demand change. Meet the brave scientists behind @ScientistsXRebel in my latest for @NewClimate_ 🔗 medium.com/the-new-climate/d…

The principle of net zero has quite obviously been captured by corporate interests, as we see below:
On paper, the UK’s emissions reductions look strong compared to other nations. But once we include all the manufacturing we've offshored and the ✈ and 🛳️ we ignore, our total carbon footprint has dropped by just 0.6% a year. Nowhere near enough for the crisis we face.

Climate change, nature loss, food insecurity & health are inextricably linked. Dealing with them separately is like conducting an out of tune orchestra. Instead we need a symphony of change 🌎🎶 Report from @IPBES now available ➡️ ipbes.canto.de/pdfviewer/vie…

Another great thread from @ThierryAaron , explaining why acting now makes a difference. Our agency is key.
🚨 When we fight, we win! I've put together a thread giving a quick run down of some of the #climate movement's hard won victories from 2024 to inspire us for the year ahead! 🧵 #ClimateActionNow #EndFossilFuels

1️⃣ People are asking why Labour is backing the Conservatives' carbon capture plans, which rely heavily on new gas & hydrogen plants. I'll do a fuller thread on this, but I've just found an important new reason, and it would be laughable if not so serious. A quick explainer 🧵

Just listened to @JimSkeaIPCC speak at coalition.climateaction.org/… At 22.55 Jim notes: for 1.5°C, & based on the latest carbon budgets, we need cuts of 7.5% per year from 2024. But the maths for the same budget suggest cuts of 21% per year. Political acceptability is running amok!
