If academia cannot critically reflect upon its role in perpetuating the climate and ecological crisis, then where else can those discussions take place?

Today the 2025 State of the Cryosphere report was published by over 50 leading cryosphere scientists.

In 2021, the Gov warned we “could lose control of our climate for good” beyond 1.5°C.
Now, the CCC says “prepare for 2°C by 2050”
A huge shift in just 4 years.
It’s vital all MPs are briefed on what this means for the UK.
Is your MP attending?

British public vastly overestimates cost of getting to net zero - by a staggering 14,000%.
On average, they estimate it will need 28% of GDP by 2050, compared to just 0.2%.
We need a National Emergency Briefing

This is the problem - renewables not replacing fossil fuels but complementing them
We need emissions to at least halve within 50 months, but they continue to head upwards
Our prospects are truly dismal

British scientists are mapping Trump’s authoritarianism.
A fantastic answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with lawless behaviour.
It’s a one-stop-shop for logging the lot. And the meta-analysis is darkly enlightening….

Proud to be amongst this wonderful group of scientists telling our personal stories of psychological survival in the face of denial, disinformation, deflection, disavowal, deception and delusion theecologist.org/2025/mar/13…
The U.K. is not in any way ‘leading the way’ with this dangerous foray into uncharted territory, it is leading us all astray, and this geoengineering madness must be halted.

Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

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.
