An open letter to #RealisationFestival

The Earl of Shaftesbury must return Lough Neagh.

When will he stop the sand dredging and transfer ownership?

He must publish the contracts & support a Citizens Assembly.

No more greenwash!

#COP30 has failed to deliver. Over 1,000 scientists now urge all MPs to attend the UK National Emergency Briefing on the #climate & #nature crisis.

"Without much more urgent and decisive action, we risk seeing these impacts overwhelm our capacity to respond."

"The carbon level has reached 426 parts per million – well over scientists’ “safe” limit of 350. According to them, the planet is heading to oblivion. All that time news editors have told me not to be too downbeat.

This is my last column. I think the facts speak for themselves.”
As I write my last column, the facts on climate crisis speak for themselves
Since 1995, when the first Cop was held, carbon levels have increased from 360.67 parts per million to 426.68 parts now

What is our responsibility as scientists when our findings are ignored and our warnings disregarded?

At the Public Forum, after several talks and discussion, we concluded: Given the scale and urgency of the climate crisis, „science as usual“ is not an option.
November 21, 2025 at 7:59 AM
The Global South is paying the price for a crisis they didn’t create. Today we brought their voices to the heart of Wimborne. As COP30 sidelines them, we refuse to let their truths go unheard
