When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Check here to see if your MP has signed For MPs and Peers to express support for briefing the nation on the threats from climate & nature breakdown to the UK’s security, food supply, health and economy.

A Government report last week highlighted that ecosystem collapse threatens our economy, our food and our national security.

Has your MP signed the Parliamentary Call for a prime-time televised emergency briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis yet?

People have a right to know

Flooding just caused @nickoldridge.bsky.social and I to have to abandon our trip to meet Baroness Rosie Boycott in the House of Lords to discuss the National Emergency Briefing.

One tiny example of how mounting impacts will increasingly derail efforts to tackle climate change.

This is a huge loss.

Alaina is an incredible climate communicator who did groundbreaking work on TikTok.

I hope (for her sake and ours) we don't lose her work.

At the National Emergency Briefing
@newscientist.com had a chat with our food expert
@profpaulbehrens.bsky.social
who highlighted how badly we underestimate how stongly other people support climate action.

We will be tackling this head on with the People's Emergency Briefing.

The British press were certain climate change wasn't real, now they are very clear it costs too much and are making the most ridiculous claims about cost (fed by think tanks). I think the words of Carl Sagan are very relevant here...

More on solutions & economics here - but not much.
"Cost of UK net-zero, only 0.2% GDP and creating profit even if others don't act, with upfront costs largely met by private sector not tax payer. Faster action cheaper" is a key message (if I wrote it down right). www.forbes.com/sites/claire...
