Important new report: Just as in the IPCC, it shows that if we go beyond 1.5, we enter a high-risk zone of crossing tipping points. We need to move fast to avoid moving to a point where the Earth system takes over & pushed us in a direction with unmanageable conditions.

If we don’t want a planet on fire, the first thing those of us with the good fortune to live in functioning democracies need to do is to stop voting in governments that refuse to tackle the climate crisis. If we do not do that most basic thing we won’t accomplish anything.

This is hugely important. Decarbonisation itself will not act fast enough. Absolutely vital also to cut methane and other hitherto scandalously neglected short lived pollutants to avoid imminent disaster. theguardian.com/environment/20…

First restoration of beavers to a major British river system approved by NatureScot! Beavers set for return to the mighty Spey! Really important that they get on with it before dark forces conspire to slow this down or stop it altogether from happening. nature.scot/beaver-release…

Fascinating study shows that the Tories have lost 520,000 voters since the Autumn, when Sunak put back net zero targets in an attempt to gain public support! jlpartners.com/implosion-in-b…

Prof Dame Harries testimony was the most illuminating of the week so far

Bear in mind, Johnson only needed a handful of scientists to agree with his callous “take it on the chin” response

The Inquiry seems to ask whether Harries was one of them

I’ve just been kicked out of this ‘private event’ - a lobby conference with @rishisunak about to start. I’ve been reporting on climate for 35 years so it’s possible I know more than most Pollcorrs. That’s why the environment corrs are left outside. ⁦Fiona Harvey⁩ ⁦

Journalists being told we can’t access the main press conference room without special tickets. And an escort. Security won’t let us through. This is absurd. Not transparent and very not helpful.

Completely shambolic that the Great British Insulation Scheme has support just 1,026 homes in 6 months - in the middle of a gas crisis 🤦‍♀️ Installers have been warning of a delivery disaster for months

Thank goodness for King Charles. Considering the deep peril faced by people & Nature it’s encouraging that at least one world leader is articulating a fit for purpose perspective. His words galvanised action in Paris in 2015 & hopefully will again now. youtube.com/watch?v=8aPjcd…

When I started at Newsnight, the interview was like a PhD viva, if your PhD was about every random aspect of business and economics. They asked me to bring 10x original story ideas and ruthlessly ripped every one of them to shreds - and then said: give us another one. I had a…
