TELL THE TRUTH
In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
The climate and ecological crisis is already with us.
We need immediate action to avoid unspeakable human suffering and irreversible damage to the natural world.

@DavidUllrich202 The science behind the weird Atlantic 'cold blob' explained (in under 15 minutes). It's the only part of the planet which hasn't warmed in the last hundred years, but cooled! And it's a bad sign. #AMOC

Really good news. Over the last 15 years the world gained more mangroves than it has lost, thanks to stronger legal protections following the 2004 tsunami which proved their importance in protecting coasts. Also vital for fish and in absorbing carbon.

📌The fourth global coral bleaching event, the fastest and most extensive on record, likely ended by mid-2025.
📌It caused bleaching-level heat stress across 84% of reef areas in 83 countries.
📌Yet, sea temperatures remain far above past levels.
📌Near-annual bleaching threatens ecosystems and the livelihoods of nearly a billion people who depend on coral reefs.

Rivers around the world are quietly running out of oxygen, and climate change is emerging as the main culprit. A sweeping global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, biodiversity, and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems. Tropical rivers are being hit the hardest, even more than rivers in rapidly warming polar regions.

Rivers are losing a vital ingredient for life
Dissolved oxygen plays a critical role in maintaining healthy river ecosystems. It supports aquatic organisms, helps sustain biodiversity, and influences important biogeochemical processes. When oxygen levels fall, river health can deteriorate, putting fish and other freshwater species at risk.

This is why last year's Bonn Climate Conference feels like a lifetime ago
The midyear climate conference in Bonn, Germany, next week is happening in a profoundly changed world.
Active conflict: The war in Iran has affected global trade and threatens peace, stability, and #foodsecurity
Rise of economic nationalism: globalisation 🌍 is limping; the US🇺🇸 , France 🇫🇷, Canada 🇨🇦, UK 🇬🇧, and Germany 🇩🇪have either withdrawn or suspended climate funding, leaving frontline communities in Africa and the Global South on their own devices
El Niño warning: this extreme weather event could start during SB64 and could last up to 5 months until hashtag#COP31 - World Meteorological Organization
Accelerating global warming: the world is routinely breaching the 1.5 °C temperature threshold now - 2026 is expected to experience record heat
Emergence of new global leaders: Other countries, including China , are stepping up to the plate after the US’s withdrawal from multiple climate commitments, including UN Climate Change
As they discuss the roadmap to COP31 in Turkey later in the year, negotiators must confront this cocktail of issues that has made the stakes even higher for the two-week summit.
Today, Murray Watt informed the Tasmanian Government that he will gazette a bilateral agreement with Tasmania to allow ongoing logging destruction. This is not what the community wants. Australians want native forests protected. #politas

"The March for Lough Neagh showed people are ready to stand up for our environment. Now, we must turn that momentum into a movement powerful enough to put people and planet above profit."

It's often said that the lack of climate action is due to the slow creep of climate change. That at our core humans are animals who respond best to immediate threats and pleasures.
But it is also true that the climate crisis triggers our fight or flight response. Once in a while, you might see an article touting the best places to live to avoid climate change. The fear of fire or floods in your backyard might inspire you to move some place where you and your family will be safe. Despite your connection to your hometown, you might be tempted to flee.
The reality, however, is that, as the Conservation Law Foundation wrote, 'there is no safe haven from climate change'.

Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3
Are you ready?
Many systems we rely on are fragile and interconnected. A single breakdown can ripple across society.

“El Niño conditions will pour fuel on the fire of a warming world” and the “impacts will hit even harder, travel even farther, and cross borders with devastating speed.”

This is about a thousand more people than died in the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001, yet hardly a mention in news bulletins. Extreme heat is becoming so frequent to the point where it’s no longer noteworthy, while some say we should slow down on emissions reductions…
The fossil fuel industry is fuelling human rights abuses, economic hardship, & environmental destruction, but communities worldwide are fighting back and demanding a just energy future. We join the #KickPollutersOut Global Week of Action to #KickTotalOutOfAfrica#StopEACOP
Hundreds of millions of people are facing excruciatingly hot days and nights in India and Pakistan as heat and humidity combine to make life almost impossible, and not possible for some.
