Jackdaw: a decision for last century. climateuncensored.com/jackda…
A hastily drafted post following the UK Govt’s decision to approve further drilling & production at the Jackdaw gas field in the N.Sea. Please excuse typos, non-sequiturs, etc - I wanted to get the post online today.

It was a rough morning for Big Aquaculture.
Chris Packham took our campaign to ITV, explaining to Good Morning Britain viewers that Scottish salmon farming is a lose-lose-lose for consumers, Scotland, and most of all, the fish.

Well, no surprise there. A government committed to weapons of mass murder will want to maintain and develop the nuclear skills base.
Following yesterday’s debate in Parliament, I’ve written in @TheScotsman on why it’s time for the SNP to modernise their stance on nuclear energy.
Their ban is not in Scotland’s interests. We stand ready to work with Scottish Govt to bring new jobs and investment to Scotland.

Sally Rooney and now Sarah Helm. Next a slew of Scottish authors. Please form a queue. That could blow the lid off this malign idiocy.

The power we are searching for is the power to stop Scotland being the launch pad for the UK's monstrous weapons of mass destruction, the power to end complicity in genocide, the power to (list continues). Anything else amounts to a con.
ALT Tweet today from Melanie Ward MP: "I spoke to @bbc5live about the speech that Andy Burnham will be making in Lanarkshire today. He’ll invite John Swinney and the Scottish Government to work with us to push power out of Holyrood and Westminster, and closer to people. We can work together on a new shared mission."

Nuclear weapons remain amongst the foremost threats to humanity, according to the Lancet's recent report on global risks.
Despite a reduction in global stockpiles since the Cold War, there are STILL more than enough nuclear weapons to end humanity by triggering nuclear winter.

“Nuclear exercises and missile tests are nothing more than rehearsals for mass slaughter. The countries with nuclear weapons all claim to be responsible, but they are the very opposite. They are playing roulette with all our lives."

There's a type of NGO in Europe - new-ish, elite origin, entirely or mostly government-funded, does mainly communications/discourse stuff - that reacts to current funding cuts with indignation and an immense sense of entitlement, of the centrality of their work to our democracy.

Happy 100th birthday to David Attenborough. According to @LukeTryl, easily the closest the UK public comes to consensus on a fantasy prime minister.
Never wiser than 5 years ago when addressing the UN Security Council on the urgency of rethinking security.

Very important UK-chaired session of the UN Security Council on climate and security yesterday, including the starkest warning possible from Sir David Attenborough, making the case for immediately rethinking security. Please watch!

The Review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is ongoing. Along with the other nuclear-armed states the UK is utterly cynical, claiming the Treaty as the" cornerstone" of disarmament, but blatantly in breach of Articles 1 and V1. Crisp analysis here: icanw.org/the_cornerstone_re…
