@katharinehayhoe.com wonder if you might write about the National Emergency Briefing event that took place in Uk and the follow up call for main stream media to do proper focus on the topic. www.nebriefing.org - every country should be doing this.

@kittysull1.bsky.social hi. Did you attend the National Emergency Briefing? And if so, could you post something about it? If not, could you watch it and then comment.

Please please sign this letter. We need main stream media coverage on this national emergency.

Thank you.
There were over 40 journalists there, including I believe from the BBC. I know of at least one from a major media outlet who filed a report, that was then ignored by the editor, something I find deeply disturbing.

Please sign the open letter calling for a televised briefing.

Powerful morning of gut-punching presentations on true gravity of #climate & nature emergency from leading scientists speaking at packed #nationalemergencybriefing. Overwhelmingly clear we can only make the necessary green transition if social justice & equity are at its heart

@nebriefing.bsky.social hope all goes well and you get a large attendance from MPs from all parties.

Shocking. Can remember visiting it in late 1990’s and it was a short walk to the front which was on level ground. I’ll need to dig out the photos.
Dear planet earth. We are v sorry for altering your fragile nature in such a shocking way.
Incredible timelapse showing the retreat of Franz Joseph Glacier (NZ) over only 7 years (2012-2019)! 🧊🔥

The ice flow velocity (up to 2 m/day!) combined with the incredible rate of retreat of the front (900 m over this period!) is simply mind-boggling! 🤪

Needs to move onto a Coalition Of The Willing, No FF representatives- meeting and agree what needs done without them. Move on. They will resist even when it’s 600ppm. Exclude them from all future COPs.
After two weeks of #COP30 negotiations, countries agreed to BEGIN DISCUSSIONS on fossil fuel phase out. And as the article says, "they achieved this incremental progress only in the teeth of implacable opposition from oil-producing countries."

THIS is the problem with requiring unanimous decisions.

@octopus.energy frustrating to refer a friend to join octopus, he signs up and then you can’t help him because you can’t read his meter. Come on Octopus. What options are there to get a reading. It’s a new meter in a plastic box outside the building. V disappointed.
