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/…

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…

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…

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!

I was interviewed by @NickGBreeze during COP29, We discussed 'our' failure on Paris 1.5°C & how by the early 2030s we'll have locked in similar failure on 2°C. Meanwhile many 'experts' fear rocking the political boat, preferring snake oil & tech hopium. youtube.com/watch?v=yULdkWpj…

Flooding is a great example of why we need the Climate and Nature Bill #CANBill We need to reforest uplands & 'rewild' rivers and floodplains - which could & should deliver triple benefits for mitigation, adaptation & nature It'll be so much easier with joined-up legislation!
The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation on climate and the environment already? Well... Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill

My first comment piece in @guardian is on a topic very close to my heart; the threat that the #ClimateCrisis poses to my local community in South Wales. Here's a thread with a few extra thoughts from me 🧵

🚨 NEW! | Our latest investigation uncovers docs showing how the government helped #Shell to "stage manage" its relocation to the UK, to avoid the perception Shell was “trying to evade its #climate responsibilities.” 😲 Get the full story on @DeSmog! 👇desmog.com/2024/11/25/minist…

As I told @BBCNews we must adapt to worsening #climate impacts. "There are things that we can do that would make a big difference, but it takes investment & it takes planning & coordination. So that's really for government to step in & help make that happen" #StormBert #Floods

📣 1,200 scientists and health leaders: “MPs, we call on you to help us step up to this historic moment; the last, best chance we have for the UK to show leadership in steering the course of humanity towards a future where we can thrive—not merely survive. This can be your defining moment: standing up for the people of your constituencies, of the UK—and across the world—by backing the #CANBill.” bylinetimes.com/2024/09/02/r…
