I haven’t been on here much recently but I’m off for good now. I’m not sure bsky is the way forward but I’ll be over there for now, and I hope the fascists and the porn bots have a lovely time here.

As Mark Rutte takes over the role of Secretary General from Jens Stoltenberg, what does this mean for NATO’s ‘climate action’? 🧵

[Ellie Kinney @EllieKinney]

Chatting militaries, war and the climate crisis at this tomorrow with some amazing activists, as part of the global week of action for peace and climate action. Join us!

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

Experts estimate that the world’s militaries are responsible for 5.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Join @_TPNS, @peace_boat and @milemissionsgap in tomorrow's webinar to hear why #COP29 must address the issue of militarism.

As States recommit to multilateral nuclear disarmament as part of the UN Pact for the Future, it's so dull and disappointing that Labour's Strategic Defence Review won't even consider a future without nuclear weapons

[The Military Emissions Gap @milemissionsgap]

UK Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy outlined the links between the climate and biodiversity crises and global insecurity. But if the UK is serious about tackling climate change, it must address the source of over half of Government's emissions: @DefenceHQ.

Imagine thinking you had a right to lecture Nagasaki on how to commemorate the slaughter of its citizens. Imagine thinking bombing was ever a-political.

Brat summer should peak with a Robbie remix of Spring breakers, no further comments

Are you 16-25, working-class, and interested in archives and community histories? We are looking for young people to take part in a series of workshops centred on our archives of the 70s organising group, Big Flame.

MPs have been told over and over again not to publicly name asylum seeker accommodation because it is dangerous. This hotel was set on fire tonight. They are your constituents too. You doxxed them in the Houses of Parliament.

[🇵🇸 Malak RD 🇵🇸 @Decoldietitian]

Utterly egregious coverage here.

Fact checking: people who are still having their asylum claims assessed by the home office are not 'illegal' which is why they're in a hotel and not a prison cell.

More importantly: no human is illegal and NOTHING justifies this.

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

this isn’t about ‘reasonable concerns’, ‘protecting children’ or any other nonsense framing. pure and simple this is a pogrom and it’s absolutely terrifying to see it happening in real time.

those poor people inside. words can’t express the horror of this violence.

Repping @ceobs_org at the ongoing IPCC session in Sofia 🌎

[The Military Emissions Gap @milemissionsgap]

At the @IPCC_CH 61st Session, we will be highlighting the impact of increasing military activity on the climate crisis. The IPCC provides the scientific expertise that underpins @UNFCCC policymaking, so it is critical that its #AR7 outputs address military and conflict emissions.

[Clare Hymer @ClareHymer]

The judge who sentenced the JSO activists was previously "very lenient" towards an on-duty police officer who had sex with a drunk woman he'd offered a ride home.

The judge said the officer had acted in a "moment of madness", and he avoided jail time.

At COP28, the United States pledged just $17.5 million to the loss and damage fund, supporting especially vulnerable countries dealing with the effects of climate change.

The same year, the United States spent at $51.5 billion on nuclear weapons.

[ICAN @nuclearban]

🚨NEW REPORT ALERT🚨

Can you believe global spending on nuclear weapons surged to $91.4 billion in 2023? That’s $2,898 a second on weapons that should never be used. Learn more in ICAN’s report “Surge: 2023 Global Nuclear Weapons Spending”🔗➡️https://t.co/svIeAKarmF

A snapshot of the mega work being done by my colleagues tracking the environmental impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ⬇️

[Conflict and Environment Observatory (CEOBS) @ceobs_org]

We've been remotely tracking and assessing environmentally-relevant incidents in #Ukraine since Feb 2022. Our data is not public so we have now created 25 case studies from the hundreds of incidents in our database, you can explore them here https://t.co/BXjBccAN5o ▶️🧵1/7

@Le_Frique Hey, have done!

[Ellie Kinney @EllieKinney]

Climate talks in Bonn are suspended within minutes of opening due to protesters with a Palestine flag (no flags or protests are allowed). As UN Security escorts them out of the room, the chair resumes the plenary saying “the situation has been normalised”. Apt choice of words.

[The Military Emissions Gap @milemissionsgap]

As the @UNFCCC Bonn Climate Conference kicks off, protesters take to the stage with a Palestine flag 🇵🇸 So far, the @UNFCCC has failed to highlight the connection between militarism and climate crisis - this has to change. #JuneClimateMeetings #SB60

[Ellie Kinney @EllieKinney]

Looking forward to exploring the relationship between war and the climate crisis with @CoveringClimate - join us in just over an hour (5pm UK time!)

[Covering Climate Now 🦋 @coveringclimate.org @CoveringClimate]

Violent conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine, and elsewhere are not only causing terrible human suffering, they are also fueling the climate crisis.
