Naomi Klein gets huge applause from the 2000 strong crowd here at the Barbican when she states “Extinction Rebellion are not the criminals. They are trying to help us survive. The criminals are those in power who ordered their criminalisation of their protest!”

Incredibly moving to witness people giving up theirs liberty for the sake of all our futures. We all need to engage and act. Thank you all who are rebelling @ExtinctionR
People are rebelling in these numbers because they realise the time to address this is right now, not in 2050, or even 2025. Scientists are despairing because we are almost out of time. They are telling us to panic. #RebelRadio is broadcasting. Tune in! https://t.co/0ye4ULz4Bc

It’s been interesting requesting rail and sea as opposed to flying for events. Responses range from Really?? to we understand but… to yes please we are trying to encourage this. @IrishNatOpera being the latter #FlyingLess#climatecrisis
Heading to Galway to begin work on the forward looking @IrishNatOpera ‘s new commission Least Like The Other. By Brian Irvine. Singers actors classical and free improv with some electronics too.
There is hope when you hear a child speak with such clarity and sense. Most of the adults who we voted for have lost all respect. Let us hope we can move away from Brexit and look to the future @GretaThunberg needs us to.
“We live in a strange world, where children must sacrifice their education in order to protest against the destruction of their future.”

.@asda Hello. We were told in store that you wrap all fruit & veg in plastic because you're worried about shoplifters. REALLY??? You're willing to totally damage the planet for the sake of saving a few apples, potentially for people who actually really need them? Seems shameful.
If you haven't read the wise and knowledgable words of @IanDunt you should. Clarity, practical understanding and real humour... the perfect contrast to our "leaders".
This Government wants you to think it's leading the world on climate change.
But its archaic planning law has just green-lighted a new coal mine.
A coal mine. In Britain. In 2019.
This should not be allowed to happen.
