Bogotá shows what action looks like.

- 1,400 electric buses.
- 560km of cycle lanes.
- Solar cable cars to the mountains.
- Clean air zones.
- Urban forests.

Air pollution down 24% in six years — with a growing population.
This is what courage + policy can do!

Trump speaking in front of skull.

Trump speaking in front of skull.

Greenhouse gases remain a danger, no matter who is in the White House. While heat waves, floods and storms kill, expel and ruin livelihoods people, Trump is trying to abolish physical laws by decree. What is happening here is more than a political step. It is an attack on reality and life. (1/5)

Trump’s EPA repeals landmark climate finding in gift to ‘billionaire polluters’ Rollback of government’s ability to limit climate-heating pollution will make families ‘sicker and less safe’, environmental advocate says

Blocking the EPA from limiting the pollution causing global heating is an unhinged, psychopathic act of grift, arson, scientific and economic sabotage.

But it's just the latest in a decades long effort by the vast majority of elected leaders to sell you off to the Big Oil CEOs who them 🧵

It's ecological breakdown that should put us on a war-footing: official Admissions of extreme, eco-caused national security threats foreground importance of climate adaptation to bring much needed urgency and agency.

Writing with @rupertread.bsky.social about just how devastating the Government- suppressed security report is, particularly its conclusions about our food insecurity. Ministers should be helping to build our resilience to these threats, not burying the report that contains them 👇

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt

You may’ve seen coverage of a new report on the threat to national security from environmental collapse.

A common response that’s got my goat is: “Look, it’s not just tree-hugging enviros saying this, it’s hard-nosed spooks!”

A short thread on why this framing is bad history & bad politics🧵😡😉

A dilemma for individual activists in 2026 - is this a moment to step into the mainstream and support this wave of energy? Or stay radical, non-party-political and build the necessary pressure from the outside?
Both essential. Do what is right for you. 💚🔥

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement.

Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven.

Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025.

The politics of the hyper-polluting private transport used by the world’s super-rich is hotting up Inequality is damaging the cohesion needed to fight climate change.

The 125 wealthiest billionaires alone emit 3 million tonnes of carbon annually.
This is close to the carbon footprint of Madagascar, a country of 30 million people.
Super-yachts may use thousands of litres per hour even when just cruising.

The problems feel big. The days are short; the nights are long. It’s easy to despair.
But despair is a gift to the powerful. It keeps you quiet, keeps you small.

In 2026, let’s turn despair into DETERMINATION. If we all do a little, we can achieve a lot.

It always seems impossible until it’s done.
