I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥
There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️
They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

"What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."

The asylum hysteria is cruelty and racism. Whipped up by our disgusting political leaders (looking at you Keir) and our foul newspapers. Britain's shame!

A Marshian year
A Marshian year is twice as long as an Earth year, so Marshians can get a lot more done than Earthlings. Nobody believes we even exist, but look at the evidence. In midsummer last year the marsh wa…

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot
The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is what roadside verges should look like in April. These are not weeds - they are wildflowers essential to the survival of early Spring bees.

This week's impressive Climate Change Committee report makes a rock solid case for net zero.
BUT it recommends a major program of new fossil fuel infrastructure—giving Big Oil exactly what it wants.
Why that’s a bad mistake, and what the alternative is. 🧵
