MAKE THE WAVE

An XR Wave of Actions around the coast running up to the UN #G7 Summit in June to remind UK and World Governments of the urgency of tackling the #ClimateCrisis

[MAKE THE WAVE @make_the_wave]

See you on the beaches ✊✊🏾✊✊🏻

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

As fossil business continues to extract the cause of this crisis while they set the sea on fire, we know it's too late.

Join us in the streets from August 23rd:

We have nothing to loose, and everything to stand for.

1. So just for you urban types out there, if you can't get on your land (eg because of extreme heat) for more than two weeks, particularly in early summer, you are liable to lose your crops.

Our gardens should be havens for wildlife. @coopuk @waitrose have taken gardening pesticide products off their shelves. We are asking @AldiUK @asda @Morrisons @sainsburys @Tesco to take action too. Give your supermarket a push: https://t.co/HKFPRpFl4C

Corrupt water companies have been repeatedly dumping raw sewage into our waterways – we must act urgently before our rivers and seas are ruined forever. Sign now. https://t.co/oYP8RdXNn1

Everything wrong with our politics, in one story:
Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor.
Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins.
Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation.
Discover he's been funded by the hedge fund manager.

Important. Energy wholesale rates have plummeted. There’s lots of myths about it. This my 6 minute briefing on how that’ll really impact your energy bills…

Rishi Sunak is set to approve Rosebank, the largest undeveloped oil field in the North Sea, any day now. The biggest field deserves the biggest fight—add your name to demand Rishi #StopRosebank. https://t.co/FyMV7UWz2z

Bloody hell this is really magnificent from @asda Chairman Stuart Rose (formerly @marksandspencer)

More of this. Much more. It’s vital that business leaders speak out in this way. Bravo. 👏

"Without being an activist... I would maybe fall into despair... but when I'm taking action it feels like we can do something about it."

Greta Thunberg tells @JackieLongc4 that climate protest gives her a 'purpose' and that she can handle the pressure and criticism it brings.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Apparently the Sunak government is not remotely bound by the decisions of the Truss government. Hence the sacked Braverman returns six days later. So how about King Charles now goes to COP. Be good if the world saw a UK leader who cared about the environment.

BREAKING NEWS: Extinction Rebellion supporters have superglued around the Speakers Chair inside the commons chamber.

Right now inside Parliament a speech is being read out demanding a Citizens' Assembly Now: “We are in crisis. We can not afford to carry on like this..."

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

I've been accused of catastrophising about the energy hikes that have now come true.

Yet let me be plain, 'doom-mongering' or not.

More help is desperately needed for poorest or people will die this winter due to unaffordability of an 80% SO FAR energy price cap hike.

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

“Half of humanity is in the danger zone, from floods, droughts, extreme storms and wildfires,” U.N Secretary General António Guterres told ministers from 40 countries...on July 18. “No nation is immune. Yet we continue to feed our fossil fuel addiction.”

As the final stage of the Grenfell Tower inquiry has begun this week, I'd like to remind you of what was happening in another part of London on the day of the disaster, to show what the Conservatives mean by "freedom". I hope you're sitting down.

And so while some emissions reduction, even carbon #drawdown efforts have started, ice loss and sea level rise is tracking the ‘business as usual’ scenario. It can be only after aggressive emissions reductions when we should see any ice loss rate slowdown and only decades ahead

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

As sea level rise threatens its survival, the Komodo dragon just joined 38,543 species threatened with extinction

“The idea that these prehistoric animals have moved one step closer to extinction due in part to climate change is terrifying”

Get dirty corporations out of our museums, art galleries and any public space of the people. They need to be treated like pariahs. The public space must be funded through taxation not through corporate sponsorship. We need system change.

The @WCL_News report is out 📢 ‘Achieving #30x30 in England on Land & at Sea’
With better management of marine sites, delivering 30x30 can help reverse the long-term decline of wildlife 🐳🦀🦈 but currently the Government is failing to deliver 😡
