Oh

9 days left! #ChrisPackham's petition to ban #FossilFuels advertising and sponsorship currently has 75,000 signatures. At 100,000 it gets a debate in the UK Parliament.

Please forward to all your UK media and friends to help it over the line.

Merely considering it reduces the social licence of polluting corporations!

So much of the destruction in the USA is away from the spotlight at grass roots level. But the foundations of a modern society are being smashed. The National Science Foundation has just stopped awarding new grants and funding existing ones. That effectively means that work on all existing NSF grants has to stop immediately. Universities are telling researchers to stop spending on those grants right away. That's jobs and progress and opportunity just being eradicated.

Listen here to my interview on the risk of a major Atlantic ocean circulation change, with Roland Pease for the BBC, after my talk this morning at the European Geosciences Union conference in Vienna.

So it's the foreword of the Climate Paradox Report that's problematic, not so much the substance - but how many of us will have read beyond? As #DavidKing explains,
"...framing the climate challenge as a choice between reducing emissions and developing new technologies is misleading. We need to do both – simultaneously and urgently" #ClimateCrisisAdvisoryGroup

What gives me hope? When clean energy alleviates poverty, leaders speak up for justice, and people realize they’re not alone in caring about climate.

Good news: Pakistan installed 22 GW of solar in 2023—more than Canada ever has, and more than the UK added in the past five years.

Not-so-good news: The world lost Pope Francis last week. He was a fearless advocate for climate justice, continually reminding us that climate change is a moral issue that hits the most vulnerable first and worst.

What you can do: Two new studies show most people care about climate change—but they don't talk about it, because they think others don’t. When we speak up, we empower action!

This is a quote from the late Gerald Kaufman, a Labour politician.
“My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town ... a German soldier shot her dead in her bed. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians.”

Not my faith any more, but any #Catholic must be aware of 'Laudato si' #climateandnatureemergencies

Horrified by the sheer stupidity of former UK prime minister (and supposedly committed Catholic) Mr Blair. Did he wait for Pope Francis to die before pronouncing on #NetZero? #climateviolence has to stop

I'm late to this story, but surely half the reason to #boycottamazon is now being addressed, at least in #TrumpsUSA ? #paytaxes
