Current policies are taking us towards a catastrophic 3.1° temperature rise by the end of the century. Affordable, existing technologies can achieve the emissions reductions we need to meet the 1.5° limit. #COP29 must drive a surge in climate ambition. unep.org/events/publica…

We protested in the 90s, warning of this. We’ve come to accept ‘a month’s worth of rain fell in a few hours’ as new normal. A year’s worth of rain fell in 8 hours in #Valencia, killing people, wrecking lives. Everything we do now must powerfully include Climate, Justice, Nature..

For climate advocates across the country, the outcome of this election means that all of us must find ways to redouble our efforts and find bipartisan solutions to the climate crisis that create jobs, promote prosperity and safeguard the future of humanity. In a moment such as

I'm pleased to see the UK government has adopted our @theccc advice to aim to cut UK emissions by 81% by 2035, providing clarity to businesses and households. UK emissions have already been cut in half thanks to steady progress in clean technology #COP29 theccc.org.uk/2024/10/26/ccc…

Starmer's 81% carbon target for 2035 has some people invoking various terrors about what that means. Here's what his independent advisers suggest he prioritise. 2 key ones are making electricity cheaper & making landlords stop renting out draughty homes

We cannot address the urgency of the climate and nature crises without co-ordinated global action. Driving a sustained international effort is why the Foreign Secretary David Lammy is here in Baku today at COP29.

Thank you, BBC News (World) BBC News (UK) , for the opportunity to comment on the #scientific background of the #COP29 negotiations based on IPCC reports. A pity I failed to add this important message: IPCC #AR6 shows that #fossilFuels still receive more finance than #ClimateAction

First properly cold weather this autumn and our new heat pump working well!

Great to contribute to #BES2024, share our emerging results and discuss with others.

Coldest week of the winter last week. New heat pump working well, keeping us warm. Better and cheaper to run than our old gas boiler as well as low emissions. NB moving over mostly to Bluesky these days.

This is my farewell post. I am not deleting this account, as I don’t want to lose the archive, and I don’t want my name taken by imposters. But, for as long as Musk owns the platform, I’ll no longer use it. I’m now posting at georgemonbiot.bsky.social. Since Elon Musk bought this

Today, President Trump will issue a series of Executive Orders that deny the climate emergency facing our country in favor of a phony “energy emergency”. These performative acts show the pervasive influence that the fossil fuel industry will have in the United States over the

Great #NatureReturns panel session chaired by Tony Juniper: achieving the scale of change required for nature, climate and people needs combination of strong regulation, flexible and simple funding sources, shared vision including land managers, underpinned by good science

Our Chair, Tony Juniper, delivered the keynote speech at the Nature Returns conference last week. Hosted by @KewScience, the conference outlined how understanding Nature’s benefits can deliver landscape-scale solutions for climate and biodiversity. naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2025/02/11/how…

Exciting new science from Natural England and @KewScience revealed at the #NatureReturns conference at Kew last week.  I was delighted to speak & discuss how to deliver landscape-scale solutions for climate & Nature with an inspiring array of partners. youtube.com/watch?v=kEq3u6…

Thank you God for this man. His humility, life of simplicity & service to people in poverty were beautiful to see. And his encyclical Laudato Si' was groundbreaking - reminding us that we share a common home with all creation & calling us to an 'integral ecology' #PopeFrancis
