Thank you for this article @kevinclimate.bsky.social and colleagues. Insightful analysis. Yes to international justice in UK climate policy. Agree behaviour change and ecological risks should not be downplayed, nor carbon capture overstated. @thecccuk.bsky.social theconversation.com/the-uks-year...
The UK’s year of climate U-turns exposes a deeper failure
Breaking free of the dangerous pretence that current efforts suffice demands a fundamental rethink of the UK’s climate policy consensus.

The monitoring station on Mauna Loa provides the longest direct measurements of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Trump wants to shut it down, which is like taking the batteries out of your screaming smoke alarm and pretending the house isn't on fire. #climatechange

Great summary and analysis. Everyone concerned that the UK is already one of the most nature-depleted countries, could write to their MP now, as the Bill goes through parliamentary committee.
1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot
The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
