Kirsty Wark calls three times for a genuinely mass movement with more moderate tactics than #ExtinctionRebellion, starting from where and how people live… she’s virtually naming the impulse for a #ModerateFlank!

"Be clear, this WILL come for you." Watch my interview about this unprecedented extreme hot weather on @TRTWorldNow. We might have thought we were relatively immune in Britain but, as we are finding out, that's not the case. #UKHeatwave #ClimateCrisis youtube.com/watch?app=deskto…

We in the media are mealy-mouthed about this. EVERY heatwave is made more likely by emissions and EVERY one is made worse. We're now at 1.2C above historic and heading for 2C or 3C. What are we thinking will happen? @Vic_Gill @BBCJustinR @JonahFisherBBC @whippletom @r4Today
Editorial in today's Times: "Extreme weather is likely to become more common unless policymakers act now…Heatwaves, hurricanes, superstorms, forest fires & flooding are intensifying. Vague ambitions of action at an unspecified future date will not be adequate to pre-empt them"

Today is #NationalMeadowsDay! The loss of our uplifting hay meadow habitats in the UK makes my heart hurt, so I want to share with you the secret for turning your lawn into a mini wildflower meadow for *free* 👊 (1/7)

When @wareily decided to plant fruit trees in lines through his arable fields, his neighbours thought he was mad - but is this the future of farming? In tomorrow's On Your Farm @charlottebsmith sees if Stephen's farm deserves to win the #bbcfoodawards Farming for the Future Award

A useful thread highlighting how many denialists have morphed into snake-oil sellers, pedalling incremental tweaks as an alternative to real-scale action. Whilst others are protecting their hi-CO2/consumption lifestyles behind false concern for those less well off than they are.
It is increasingly clear that there's now a concerted effort under way in parts of the British press to derail action on the #ClimateEmergency. This🧵highlights key examples & shows how the main arguments are textbook #ClimateDelay 1/n

these two sycamores are a great example of retrenchment. this is where a tree, past its youthful prime, shrinks into a smaller tree by developing its lower crown and shutting down its upper crown. this is often the beginning of the veteran phase of a tree's life cycle

The climate crisis is not caused by vague “human actions”; nor is it a result of some innate aspect of human nature. It is caused by specific investments by specific people in specific things. Change those, and we can change the future. Me for @Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfre…

A 2,500-year-old ancient olive tree from the village of Rovies in Evia has been burned to the ground. One of the countless damages of this week's incalculable catastrophe.

Quite hard to have a holiday from your climate job at the moment. We are reaching breaking point already. Every bit of carbon matters now, so every person has to be part of this. That does not mean 'do your small bit'. Rather, do ALL you can. Which is a lot. #ClimateCrisis

What's stopping faster government action on climate? In part, the fear of being sued by fossil companies over 'lost profits' if they are no longer permitted to drill, mine & destroy. The ISDS rules literally privilege corporate power over life on earth. theguardian.com/business/202…

Hello @Fidelity_UK. You own 7m shares in Rockhopper plc, which is suing Italy's government for acting on climate change, & hoping to use the winnings to drill for oil in the Falklands / Malvinas. Which side of history do you expect to be on? These are morally stranded assets.
