How much longer will @BBCNews, @itvnews, Sky, C4 and C5 hide AMOC collapse from the British people?

Campaigners were at City Hall today to demand London Assembly members start planning for the UK being plunged into a far colder, drier climate which would decimate agriculture. 🧵

An act, which, if implemented could have serious consequences under international law on genocide. https://t.co/zAm6j0Qzkn

Protection of fossil fuel interests means deception on a massive scale. How will history look upon this? https://t.co/UemHGPua70

When politicians take the shilling they become complicit alongside.

What could possibly be behind this letter?

The strange crime of not reporting the extent of existential problems is weird https://t.co/7J7hGw7iP5

[COP Climate Action Plan @Cop26P]

If this is true then are not politicians promoting unsustainable growth complicit in genocide?

[Climate Genocide Act Now @CGAN2023]

In a rapid attribution study released days after the event, a team of scientists said the 2021 heatwave in the Pacific Northwest would have been "virtually impossible without human-caused climate change."

UK PM Keir Starmer seems keen to make it easier for developers to concrete over Britain’s green and pleasant land. 💸🌳

But the real path to prosperity?

Let nature go WILD.

Around the world, other countries are healing the land AND growing jobs and prosperity.🧵

In the Age of Denial there is also Climate Genocide.

[Stephen Barlow @SteB777]

We seem to be living in the Age of Denial, where things supported by massive evidence, are simply denied by certain politicians and vested interests, even though they are incredibly serious.

The climate crisis, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, are egregious examples.

If we learn anything from history it is that genocide starts in many forms. https://t.co/JzM3WrsnXQ

Who is Roger Hallam, what does he believe, and why is he serving five years in prison? 🧵

[Roger Hallam @RogerHallamCS21]

The bottom line is this - insurance cannot work in a system with chronic non-linear risk. And without insurance, capitalism is subject to non-linear collapses.

The world is crying out for an alternative story. One where ordinary people come together to create street movements, take power through people’s assemblies, and force systemic change as coming chaos undermines existing regimes and toxic structures.

Yes, I'm still in prison. Since I got locked up, I have read over 60 books and written one. I have also recorded a podcast with a theory and practice of a new way of reimagining and renewing society. Find it wherever you listen to podcasts.

It's time to learn and speak to one another about this stuff, not to give in to performative nihilism.

If you were presented with a choice to a) do nothing and watch the world burn or b) to learn, understand what needs to change and feel empowered to do something about it, which one would you go for?

An urgent appeal from Wayland Prison

As you may know, I received a five-year sentence for making a 20-minute Zoom speech calling for civil disobedience in July. I was not at all involved in any actions or their planning. I was there to explain, as I have done hundreds of times before, why we have to peacefully step up and stop the greatest crime in human history: the decimation of the lives and livelihoods of billions of people by the continued emission of carbon.

My sentence is the longest since the Second World War for peaceful civil disobedience, and the reason is obvious. Stopping the burning of fossil fuels at the speed needed involves challenging the most powerful political and corporate interests. With the rise of a climate denier to the US presidency, this situation has never been more urgent.

Since founding Extinction Rebellion in 2018, I have been the UK's most successful climate campaigner. I set up the largest climate civil disobedience organisation in the Western world. At the time of my imprisonment, I was doing vital international networking to bring people together and fundraising for the global resistance movement we need to stop the terror that is being imposed upon us.

The world is going to go over 2 °C in the next decade.

Let's be in no doubt about what will happen: appalling suffering and injustice beyond imagination.

At the same time, precisely because of this dire situation, there is enormous potential to build a global revolutionary movement to create new, revitalised democracies as the alternative to the fascism waiting in the wings. This is the most crucial moment in history - and it requires serious money to build solid organisational structures. I am at the centre of these efforts.

I am aiming to raise £50,000 while I’m in prison - and I’m asking for your help.

I will take none of your money for myself. The teams I work with will use all funds for vital work to promote this global strategy and help set up and support national initiatives. I am convinced we can unlock millions in funding as people with money realise we need a bottom-up democratic revolution and want to help people with a track record of creating mass mobilisations.

This is not the time to pretend this money is just for another campaign. Those days have gone. Think of what you could give and then double it again. Remember, it won’t be worth much in a decade, will it? Give whatever you can and please share this fundraiser with five friends.

I may be in prison for a while, but I am committed to spending this time in my cell, supporting movements in any way I can. This is my life. Thank you so much for your support.

Roger Hallam, Wayland Prison, UK

Climate chaos was predicted by Exxon back in the 80’s
They knew.

The death toll from this week’s devastating floods in south-east Spain has now risen to over 200.

Human-induced #ClimateChange doubled the likelihood of the heavy rainfall in the region and made it more intense, as Dr @FrediOtto from @WWAttribution at @imperialcollege explains.

World Weather Attribution turns 10 today 🎉

To mark the occasion, we've launched our study tracker – an interactive tool to explore our analyses on extreme weather events around the world.

Devastating flooding across huge areas of Western Queensland and beyond captured by the EU’s Copernicus Satellite. This image is 110km (68Miles) across and shows flows 20-30km wide. The Diamantina National park is normally bone dry. Not any more

[Climate Genocide Act Now @CGAN2023]

We are living in a time unknown to past humans. Yes we know there has always been floods. The scale and intensity are immense.

QUEENSLAND FLOOD DEVASTATION: An area more than four times the size of the UK is covered in floodwaters in outback QLD.

Can we talk about the elephant in the room?
How are these risks being recorded & discussed within the college of policing and yet as @jonathonporritt articulates we are seeing young women being subjected to violence for expressing concerns.

How are citizens expected to behave in times of political failure?
