"...where I live, we have a resilience network of people from within 5 miles of the local area. We get together and do all sorts of things such as trade tips, produce, seeds and plants. We organise events and we planted a community orchard…"

We all need to start doing things like this (and more) to prepare for what's coming, as I said in my talk at Tunbridge Wells Climate and Nature Fair. Watch my interview now.

Crucial work:

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

The Joint Intelligence Committee report describes ecological collapse as posing catastrophic & irreversible risks to the UK.

I asked what steps the Ministry of Defence is taking to coordinate action across Govt.

Parliament must be allowed to scrutinise these findings and the Govt response.

[Rupert Read 🌍 🔥 @GreenRupertRead]

I agree with Caroline. What Greens should be doing is pressing Burnham on PR etc in return for a non-aggression pact in Makerfield.

The best thing about my degree was getting to study this and other great movies with @RupertRead @RupertRead

NEW: "Midterm protest votes usually fade. Structural political realignments do not."

My latest piece for @DeSmog is an analysis of how the recent elections turned #climate into a defining political fault line. Read now.

Check this out 👇

A useful piece on how climate is now being recognised as part of today’s security threat landscape, not just tomorrow’s problem.

We’re influencing the terrain in multiple ways; worth a read and share.

‘Telling’ at a Polling Station in Norwich… looking after a voter’s dog for a mo!

[Dave @ItsOurDave]

Just did. I voted Green Party 💚

[Gyll King Post Skip Diplomacy @GyllKing]

Um, that’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s just what happened.

[Media Lens @medialens]

Well said. It is an attempt to distract from Israel's genocide but, as with Corbyn, it is also an attempt to undermine public support for a political party that is critical of Israel.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

People are looking for a change in this election, but I know they want to vote for parties who will be focused on making a real difference locally.

On 7th May, for change and for a strong track record of local action, Vote Green.

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party .

"...one thing is certain: much of the future will be hard. The question is whether that hardness can be shaped into something survivable - perhaps even, in places, beautiful; perhaps even, thrilling."

My new article for Bending The Arc features a research-based attempt to imagine a global future, starting 7 years from now. Do check it out.

Exaggerated accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’ against the #Green Party are a deliberate attempt to distract from the terrible truth about what’s going on in the #MiddleEast.

100 days since the Govt was forced to release its National Security Assessment which said that ecosystem collapse is a threat to national security.

Parliament has still not been allowed to scrutinise its findings.

We must have a Parliamentary debate.

[Rupert Read 🌍 🔥 @GreenRupertRead]

And remember, this is only the beginning.

[Bill McGuire @ProfBillMcGuire]

Really great piece by @GreenRupertRead

People (and governments) desperately need to understand just how quickly societal unravelling can happen. I think the whopper of a super - El Nino coming soon and maybe lasting into next, will be a real eye opener

Our warning about eco-fascism in the 2030s, and why the climate movement needs pluralism rather than hyper-identity politics.

@RupertRead joins me as co-author. We disagree on some issues. That is itself part of the pluralism we are advocating.

"If we don't know what's coming down the track at us, we cannot possibly prepare."

A clip from my talk at #Anthropy where I discussed the hugely concerning reports being suppressed by the Government.

BREAKING:
Huge news:
The contents of a secret U.K. Govt report on Britain’s ‘critical systems’ and their grave vulnerability have just now been made public by the TIMES, for the very first time.

The report was stark in its findings, incl crucially:

“Britain’s food security…could be “at strategic risk of catastrophic failure” by 2030”.

Food was only one of the critical systems analysed in the report and found to be at risk of collapse from the end of the decade, >unless< collectively we change course to a safer, more resilient path.
