My letter in the Guardian countering an article by a pro-growth lobbyist from Britain Remade attacking environmental legislation
“Ecologists & conservationists would be surprised by his claim that the UK doesn’t & never will build enough to drive nature loss”

Earl of Shaftesbury’s ownership of Lough Neagh is a relic of a shameful colonial past.
Sand dredging continues, damaging the lake while profits flow to his Wimborne St Giles estate.
Now it seems his “solutions” may come via old boy networks.

Stop Canford Incinerator‼️
Carbon capture is a fairytale reason to burn, baby, burn, unproven at scale and used to justify more polluting infrastructure.
Incinerators lock councils into burning waste that could be reduced, reused, recycled

A billion reasons why we urgently need transition from #FossilFuels to renewable energy. Here's another one! Pay of #Shell Chief Exec Wael Sawan rose 60% to £13.8m in 2025 despite 22% drop in annual profits & 4 workers died in workplace accidents. Now Shell Board wants to raise max CEO pay by 50%🤑🤯
I just signed a petition to stop the rollout of facial recognition surveillance in the UK.
The Government and shops are scanning us without clear laws in place, using our faces like barcodes.
It feels really invasive. Can you take 30 seconds to sign it too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
New @thecccuk.bsky.social report finds in all scenarios achieving #NetZero is more cost-effective for the UK economy than ongoing reliance on fossil fuels. Hitting UK net zero target by 2050 would be cheaper than a single oil crisis & would bring health, economic & security benefits #StraitOfHormuz

Devastating impacts of #ClimateCrisis - failed rains from Oct to Dec in #EastAfrica have pushed almost 26 million people into extreme hunger. 58m don't have access to clean drinking water. Millions of livestock are at risk as drought devastates grazing lands & water sources, threatening livelihoods

1/🌡️ Global warming passed a milestone on 17th Nov 2023 that barely made the news
For the first time ever, the world's daily average temperature was 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels
Here's what the data says about when that becomes the annual norm, & whether it's coming sooner than anyone expects🧵
“The Met's own statement shows that they were aware that the meeting was for training in nonviolent direct action, so this raid and the indiscriminate arrest of everyone present is shocking overreach."

I’m really disappointed in @theguardian.com for posting this misinformation and failing to disclose who funds Britain Remade. It’s bad journalism to publish a pro deregulation article from an EDF-funded PR company-created lobby group without that context @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
Pro growth rhetoric claiming to care about our suffering natural world 🦔 Britain Remade is a Tufton Street adjacent think tank that promotes building unfettered by environmental legislation
🚨 URGENT 🚨
Experts warn UK must start stockpiling food to prepare for climate shocks or war.
UK is only 54% self-sufficient - much, much lower than eg France, Spain, Netherlands, US, Australia.
We are dangerously reliant on fragile global supply chains.

Our water system won’t be fixed with tinkering. It needs public ownership.

"Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness."
This is a call for the resignation of Octopus Energy CEO
@gjuk.bsky.social.
And also a complete rethink of the climate movement in the UK.
Greg, the world's top diplomat Antonio Guterres says "Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness". Are you mad? 🧵

London premiere of documentary film on the environmental impact of US military. Exempt from international #climate agreements the Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon, poisoning water, and scarring landscapes across the globe.
@andrewdessler.com on huge govt subsidies for #FossilFuels. US spends over $81bn every yr to protect oil supply🛢! Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE) calculates about 1/5 of US Dept of Defense base budget exists at least partly to keep oil flowing via vulnerable choke points like #StraitOfHormuz
