My recent talk to the Tweeddale Society. In section 1, I review the latest science on climate and ecological collapse. 'Tweeddale 2024 2044: Loving Responses in the Decades of Collapse' youtu.be/UvU6_JZd2Sg?si… via YouTube

The current climate science is terrifying, and catastrophic. From the rhetoric and (in)action we've seen from governments (including Scottish Government) I really start to suspect most folk just don't get it. Video below of my recent attempt to explain. 👇

The 12-month moving average of global mean temperatures has now moved slightly above 1.6 °C (2.9 °F).

It had been obvious for years that the 2030 75% Scottish target was unrealisable

1thing Scottish Government did was fail to follow its own Climate Change Act &properly assess high carbon infrastructure -just 1eg of >not walking the talk<👉

Times are here now, when otherwise mainstream members of the public need to stand up, speak out and lead if governments fail to do so. Which is, really, almost every government right now.

I am the 'concerned citizen' in ercs.scot/news/scottish-…; I am very grateful for Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland & Good Law Project forcing Scottish Government to finally admit it broke its own #climate law

The #Sunak Govt treatment of Climate Change Committee is outrageous - they don't even share vital Risk Tables on #climate policy delivery with them👇

The Norwich Western Link debacle….

Three compelling reasons why Cllr Kay Mason Billig must step down immediately:

1. Blatant lack of transparency: Cllr Kay Mason Billig's decision-making process regarding the Norwich Western Link Road project and its impact on the barbastelle…

You need to look at what is happening in #norfolk with this plan to build a four lane road through the Wensum Valley. Norfolk County Council warned by Natural England 'plan to cut the number of bird surveys to half that recommended by your own guidance needs to be reviewed'.

It’s a staggering set of revelations. How can Norfolk Tories be trusted with hundreds of millions of public money for the Norwich Western Link when the council they run is in such appalling disarray.

So why are you Conservatives permitting Norfolk County Council to cut down Ringland Woods (surveyors on site today!), and barge a four-lane highway on a viaduct across the Wensum Valley floodplain Zac? Norfolk needs this destructive extension of 'Broadland Northway' like a hole in the head.

Absolutely appalling indication here that Department for Transport intends to ignore expert ecologists, nature organisations, and a large body of evidence by funding the Norwich Western Link. If so, this would be an environmentally and financially reckless decision.

Norfolk needs a strong and compassionate leader who can unite the community and make decisions that benefit everyone.

It is concerning that the current leader of Norfolk County Council seems to consistently create controversy and fail to address important issues. Her attack on the local…

There is an election style billboard campaign being run by Stop the Wensum Link 🍃💚🍃 See their Facebook for details if you live in the Norwich area and want to show your opposition to the Norwich Western Link.
