We have little concept of time. The internet only became widely used 30 years ago, man first set foot on the moon 55 years ago, WW1 began 110 years ago, Henry VIII reigned 500 years ago, the Roman empire ended 1500 years ago, Jesus is believed to have lived 2000 years ago. Two weeks ago the Earth had its hottest two days in recorded history, likely in 100,000 years. Carbon dioxide levels which affect the temperature of the planet are higher now than they have been in 3 - 5 million years. And it was barely reported with any prominence in our media at all. nasa.gov/earth/nasa-data-sho… phys.org/news/2023-07-hotter…

Just sayin' 🤷‍♂️ Wales! You continue to blow us away with your dedication and commitment to recycling - we couldn't be more proud and you couldn't be more deserving of this recognition. Find out how you can help Wales get that number 1 spot: bit.ly/5Steps_ForWalesRecycl…

Fawning reports of the royal selfie with Taylor Swift all over the BBC, but search the BBC website in vain for coverage of 100,000 people marching in central London same day to #RestoreNatureNow & protect life on Earth (including swifts)

You know I love the @BBC & celebrate all the things we pay our licence fee for . But yesterday whilst 100K peaceful people marched to demonstrate their love for life all I could find on @BBCNews was a selfie of the gas-guzzling @taylorswift13 . Im sorry but thats a disgrace #RestoreNatureNow

Today is #ShowYourStripes, when we encourage people to start conversations about climate change using simple 'warming stripes' data visualisations. The world is warming mainly because of burning fossil fuels. The consequences are becoming more visible. It's time to take action.

The numbers of people internally displaced due to climate change related disasters is astonishing: China 4.7 million Turkey 4.1 million Philippines 2.6 million Somalia 2 million... the list goes on. Even more astonishing? The broad international blindness to the issue. #worldrefugeeday #refugeeweek
How might we manage the inevitable mass movement of displaced people in a post-climate change world? For #WorldRefugeeDay and #RefugeeWeek, we talked to @WanderingGaia author of Nomad Century about the urgent topic of #climatemigration Listen now: bit.ly/4cam4Rn

People who follow the news are more likely to agree with statements such as ‘Most people care only about themselves.’ They more often believe that we as individuals are helpless to better the world. They are more likely to be stressed and depressed. /1

Professor Kevin Anderson is addressing all of us in very clear words: »We are heading towards 3 to 4°C of warming across this century, an absolute climate catastrophe for all species incl our own. And all we are doing so far is giving rhetoric and optimism and greenwash.« 🧵1/8

"The Green party, however, have got the most right with their manifesto: they have the bravery to stand not just for the climate and environmental policies we need, but also to fund them through a wealth tax on the richest" #GE2024 #VoteGreen2024 theguardian.com/politics/art…

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via @Treehugger treehugger.com/e-bikers-ride…

Fake farms are used by supermarkets to create a sense that buyers are getting farm-fresh produce from traceable sources. But behind the ploy lurk harmful farming practices, pollution and environmental devastation @wickedleeksmag takes a deep dive: wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/…

At midnight the superb work of @CarolineLucas as a Green in Parliament ends after 14 years. I aim to be the best MP possible for Brighton, and I could not have a better example to follow. The green benches needed a Green voice and you made that voice resonate across the nation.
Today I asked my final question as an MP to @David_Cameron: Do you agree with the US Govt that no red lines have been crossed or is the UK Govt prepared to call out the attacks on Rafah as clear war crimes and in breach of international humanitarian law? carolinelucas.com/caroline/p…
