Happy Birthday Sir David
We won’t protect what we don’t love & we won’t love what we don’t know
Thank you for enabling us to know & love this precious planet even more deeply
Now we must urgently act on that love - and protect & restore the earth while there’s still time 💚
Obviously we at XR would like to congratulate President Trump on his receipt of the inaugural ‘Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal’ award, which is almost as prestigious as the FIFA Peace Prize and neither are made up by sycophants to appease a tyrant at all.
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. https://t.co/UdWPUxplWe via @38degrees
Govt suppressed this horrifying report last year, sneaking it out now while attention elsewhere, no doubt hoping to bury dire implications of likely ecosystem collapse. Ministers must urgently step up, change direction & restore vital life support systems https://t.co/TMdoXBuhMD
BREAKING!: Huge news: The Government has quietly published [link below] on its website, without any fanfare, the Joint Intelligence Committee / Defra report on
'GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY LOSS, ECOSYSTEM COLLAPSE AND NATIONAL SECURITY'
that it suppressed last October. It has presumably done this at this point (in the middle of an international crisis) to try to bury the story. <DON'T LET IT BE BURIED> ...this is a huge story. Just consider the report's title, for starters... the report warns of multiple likely ecosystem >collapses< that will have dire implications for our national security, and that require serious strategic adaptation at minimum. The report also sets out how these collapses if they are allowed to occur will significantly increase migration-pressure: "as development gains begin to reverse", a phrase that should make any human shudder in anguish. There is much more... But it doesn't end there: what they have published very much appears to be >only part of a larger piece of work<: there is no detail at all in what they have published on the geo-regional analyses; the connections from those regional analyses to the national security threats consequently facing Britain are not detailed; the "Key Judgements" of the report are not properly explained. It is fairly obvious what has happened here: in response to FOIs, they are trying to slip this report out, presumably because they feared it would otherwise get out anyway; but they have done so in a form that holds back much of the most disturbing content - the content that WE as citizens need to know if we are to know how to protect ourselves, what we are potentially going to have to adapt TO.
We must continue to press for the full report to be released...
But in the meantime there is much here to digest and reflect on, to put it mildly. Kudos to those who commissioned the report; do READ this version of it (it's only short!), and let's take it from there... Kudos too to those who pursued an (at least partly) successful battle to get the report released, via Freedom of Information requests...

If true, suggestions that Number 10 has blocked this vital report because they don’t want to admit, and face, the UK’s vulnerability to the growing climate & nature crises would be unforgivable. Risks don’t go away if you ignore them. They get worse. https://t.co/yzage5suSR
