We don’t have the luxury for emissions to continue to rise till and peak by 2025. Emissions have to start decreasing immediately bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

"A campaign to restore Britain’s lost rainforests has won backing from the Govt"
Excited to reveal that a new £30m Nature Impact Fund explicitly backs efforts to “support and expand England’s temperate rainforests.”
I spoke to @emmagatten @Telegraph:

Next week the Tories bring their Health and Care Bill back to Parliament.
I've put down an anti-privatisation Amendment that makes the NHS the default healthcare provider - as it should always have been.
Everyone who wants the private profiteers out of our NHS should back it.

Are you concerned by the incredibly high number of COVID-19 cases in the UK, the rising numbers of hospitalisations and deaths?
If so, please RT this. The government need to start taking responsibility 🚨

I have seen multiple stuff tonight suggesting that food banks are asking for stuff that does not require cooking, as many can no longer pay for the energy to do so.
If you can adjust your donations please do.
Boozo and Co., I will never forget.
Please RT

Limited liability should be a commercial product, purchased by limited companies from insurers, who can assess the nature and scale of the risk, and charge accordingly.
This would elimate at a stroke a large part of the externality problem.

In case you needed another reason to completely end the bullshit that is carbon offsets, here's one: this fucking GASOLINE TRUCK says "I am CO2-neutral. How about you?"

Yesterday @ExtinctionR blocked some motorways.
Today, the thing they’re warning everyone about did the same. This one takes a lot longer to disperse.

"Extinction Rebellion must be stopped because it might damage some property".
You want to talk about stopping damage to property?
OK.

We’ve been turned down by several MPs who say they’re ‘too busy’ to join an All Party Parliamentary Group which is opposed to NHS privatisation.
If you believe your MP should make time for this, because it’s an emergency, pls RT 🚨💙👍

In July alone, 2,095 km² of Amazon rainforest was destroyed just in Brazil: 67.6 km² every, single, day.
The ecosystems on which we and all other life depend are being systematically murdered, all across the planet.
This is the fight of our lives.

We want Wales to be a Nation of Sanctuary and we'll do everything we can to support evacuations from Afghanistan.
We're working with the Home Office and councils on preparations to support those who need it.
Please call @CALL_247 - 0800132737 if you're affected by these events.

Why do we not contest the mass killing of stoats and weasels?
They're fascinating, intelligent, playful and ecologically crucial species, but are killed in vast numbers by gamekeepers, who call them "vermin".
It's time it stopped.

I've seen this grim habit spread from town to town: local authorities spraying glyphosate* along every edge and around every obstacle. The more we learn about glyphosate, the wider its ecological impacts turn out to be. Please stop.
*usually in the form of Roundup

I would love to see @TheGreenParty led by Amelia and Tamsin, who have the big vision needed to shift the political response to climate and ecological breakdown.

Please support @allthecitizens if you can - they are doing so much with so little - just think what they could do with more funding.
This past week they've enabled the voices of so many scientists to be heard.
We are a tiny new non-profit organisation. If you can spare a donation to support us continuing this work 🙏
