The forces of repression, extraction and exploitation are powerful and deeply entrenched. But history shows that even the most immovable structures can shift when people organise – and what once seemed impossible can become possible

Iceland did something after the 2008–09 crash that the US, UK and EU pretend is impossible as Trump and his vile ilk ride rough shod over our democracies.

It confronted and punished its corrupt bankers and failed politicians.

And rebuilt a fairer society from the rubble. 🧵

Governments are backtracking on climate action, driven by media inaccuracies and a “feedback loop between scientific denialism and political inaction”. The impact is clear at #Cop30, where rich nations are showing a “reduction in enthusiasm”

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

In light of this new #AMOC study, & another by a team at Utrecht Uni earlier this week.

It's even more vital that governments in europe are pushed to urgently conduct national security risk assessments on cascading climate risk & tipping points

As we've seen across history, the populist playbook used by Farage is ugly, powerful and incredibly destructive.

We know where it will lead if we don't stop it.

#HomesFitForTheFuture means homes that are warm and affordable to heat, connected to reliable public transport, and protected from flooding and extreme temperatures.

We have the tech; now we need the political will to build affordable, climate-resilient homes that last.

It boggles the mind that things like not leaving the lights on when you leave the room and not leaving the tap running while you brush your teeth are considered pro-environmental behaviours

It's just not throwing away good resources. Throwing away good resources is stupid
