Tell him to do one… seriously, I’m good for a doubling of the licence fee next year
Fight the 🤡
Go to court
Admit the editing error/put it in context, admit it was wrong, but didn’t change the fundamental truth of the programme or the Jan 6 insurrection

Landmark ruling in the Advisory Opinion by the ICJ on Climate Change.
1.5 degree C is legally the Planetary limit.
All countries are legally obliged to comply.
Even fossil-fuel subsidies can be illegal.
States have duty to solve the planet crisis and can be held accountable.

Even as oceans take up 90% of the heat from global warming, air temperatures over land increase faster than over oceans.
The land only trendline has already reached +2°C!
This is based on observations:
Temperature Update for June 2025
Third warmest June in the instrumental record.
Similar conditions to May, but sharply cooler than earlier in 2025.
Neutral conditions in the Pacific.
2025 is very likely to be the 2nd or 3rd warmest year.

This is completely unprecedented:
North Atlantic Sea Surface Temps raised above pre-2023 records two years ago and have been above preceding records for 724 out of 730 days.
It takes >3000 times as much heat to increase the temp of seawater than it does for air!

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around 4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today, the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, & large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.
Just in: Levels of the three most important human-caused greenhouse gases (GHG)– carbon dioxide, methane & nitrous oxide – continued their steady climb during 2023. Find out how last year’s GHG concentrations measure up to previous years at the link below.

Toxins known as 'forever chemicals' have been found in common fruits and vegetables in the UK. Organic farmers never use synthetic pesticides, which can contain these chemicals. Isn't it time we saw some action on this? @PAN_UK

Of all the ways to reduce meat in our diets, I rarely hear anyone mentioning using less meat in meat-based dishes
Yet I think many people would prefer a pie, curry or whatever that's 30% meat and the rest veg & potato, rather than 100% meat

"Transport contributes <10% of emissions from food, so eating local food isn't an effective climate action" we often hear
But there are other reasons to buy local - not least to help build a more resilient food system to help us adapt to climate change

We applaud actions to reduce the manure mountain, but the best solution is staring us in the face: keep fewer chickens in the catchment!
We need to eat less chicken, pay a higher price for birds raised to better welfare and environmental standards & support farmers to transition

“The (food) companies are not in control of their business model…they have to sell harmful food.” Two very smart people @HenryDimbleby @DoctorChrisVT being given a workout at @UKHouseofLords committee. Fascinating discussion….& more to come with many other witnesses.
Due to a technical issue, the session with @DoctorChrisVT and @HenryDimbleby is now live here ⬇️

"Those who claim net zero is a scam, deny the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence, or demand that farmers be left alone to farm as they wish are just not reading the room. And they are doing farmers a disservice... real leadership is coming from those who tell the truth."

Our CEO @suepritch reflects on today's #NFU24 elections and recent developments in the farming sector – and asks how farming leaders can chart a just course to a more resilient future.

Our diet is as great a threat to our economy as it is to our health. Nine times as great as previously thought. Whichever government is in power in 10 years time will be crippled by this if we don’t act.
