Super cool initiative to bring climate science to everyday people, from the brilliant team at @climatescibreak.bsky.social
👏💪💚🌍
US climate scientists need all the help they can get. Including from foul-mouthed comedians! 🤡😱😱

This is absolutely shocking news. Gas-linked Carbon Capture actually INCREASES emissions. Our government are either wilfully ignoring this and are set on destroying our planet for short-term gain, or have been taken in by the lies of the fossil fuel lobbyists. 😭
We need @zero-hour.bsky.social now.

“As parliament debated the controversial climate & nature bill to remove protections for the UK’s natural environment, scientists gathered in Parliament Square. This followed a stark warning from the UK’s Climate Change Committee that the country was “not prepared” for the impacts of climate change”

Wise words from the brilliant @katharinehayhoe.com - some simple ideas for how we can take action. And if you’re a scientist in London today, please come join me, @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and 150+ scientists in Parliament Square at noon to urge the UK government to bring science to politics 💪🥼🌍
I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.

Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!

We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

The U.S. is facing an unprecedented dismantling of science, research, and higher education.

As scientists are fired + research is frozen, so too are all the resources and outcomes that would have benefited society.

This is huge news!
Let’s make sure it doesn’t get kept behind closed doors too!
VICTORY‼️

The Court of Appeal ruled Braverman’s anti-protest law was unlawfully made

This ruling shows: ministers can’t rewrite law behind closed doors

We demand justice for those targeted under these powers
