In contrast to Costa Rica’s work to double the size of its rainforests, the UK “is still pissing about with half-solutions and non-solutions, held to ransom by rich and powerful property owners” on matters of land use. Totally agree @GeorgeMonbiot https://t.co/QPNfJXPzyX
BREAKING: In a huge victory for humanity, the European Parliament voted to list "ecocide" as an international atrocity crime on par with genocide. Ecocide statutes could soon be part of domestic law in all 27 countries of the EU.
More serious progress. @EcocideLaw@marietouss1

“Maybe the court is disrespecting itself”: David said this in court today before he was sentenced, & I agree. Judge Reid jailing David for speaking the truth to a jury in his defence is an outrageous threat to some of our oldest & most precious liberties

The British courts have lost the plot.
Banning climate protestors from referring to "climate change" in their defence ...
then charging them with contempt of court for speaking the truth ...

Hugely grateful to Dan for sharing his story with us, and to the @CRY_UK CEO for giving insight into the number of young, cardiac-related deaths we see every year. It turns lives upside down, and more people need to be talking about it. Full story: https://t.co/GURbjbqSLi
Breaking news: the Irish Citizens Assembly just voted for a referendum to the constitution to protect #biodiversity and secure the rights of nature! Interesting times ahead.
On Finance Day at #COP27 I asked Japanese bank @mufgbk_official why they continue to fund fossil fuel projects like the East African Crude Oil Pipeline instead of providing climate finance & investing in a just transition to renewable energy. #StopEACOP
