2024 was provisionally the fourth warmest year on record for the UK.
With extreme weather events on our doorstep the Government must urgently show the political courage to tackle the climate and inequality crises.
My jaw hit the floor when I heard about Gaie Delap's case. A 77-year old peaceful climate protester threatened with being returned to jail... because they can't find a tag small enough for her wrists.

Water protestors call out UK Labour govt for claiming to fix the water crisis, whilst ignoring the root cause- privatisation

Carbon capture and storage - unproven and dangerous, risking justifying fossil fuel burning.
What to do?
Leave the oil & gas in the ground: that's nature's #CCS. And it is cost-free
