The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years.
CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.
But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures.
Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

What passed for consensus on climate was always pretty thin. But the right's utter abandonment of the issue puts fossil fuel industry profits ahead of planetary survival.
Scottish and UK Governments must not follow them. New extraction must end, and polluters must pay.

What if politicians and the market aren't actually in control of #EarthSystemsCollapse? What if they don't have a plan to save us? We end up needing to fall back on mutual support in our local communities.

Action on #EarthSystemsCollapse - the breakdown of climate, nature and the basis of our life on Earth - is a matter of (inter)national security. That's why I'm unapologetic in speaking about the predictions of 2, 3, 4 degrees of heating and 3 billion people displaced. #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove

At Peebles Show today. Just love the Clydesdales. Also great memories of showing our Soay and Shetland sheep when I was a kid. Great to see the poultry tent back in action, too! Such a special annual event for our community.

As a former member of the Climate Assembly for Scotland, Ellie Clarke well understands the severity of the upcoming climate chaos, and the scale and urgency of what we need to do to secure a safer future. Above all, we must support one another.
