Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

This is our moment, we're on the cusp of a BIG win for pedestrians in England We know pavement parking is not only an irritation for many, but outrightly dangerous to wheelchair users, visually impaired people and parents walking their children to school. Write to your MP toda...

One of the downsides of living in Wales is I can't get involved in this @livingstreets.bsky.social campaign to address pavement parking. But for those of you in England, perhaps take a look? act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/189938/...

You can’t expect Keir Starmer to have known Mandelson was dodgy as fuck. Nobody told him.

Probably nobody told him Israel was committing war crimes either.
Or that the two-child benefit cap was starving kids.
Or that trans people are human beings.
Or that immigrants are a net benefit.

Revealed: Mandelson failed vetting but Foreign Office overruled decision Guardian investigation uncovers decision by UK security officials to deny clearance before Mandelson took up role as US ambassador

No10’s account is incredible.
I held Developed Vetting for nearly ten years and spent three years at the heart of the Cabinet Office. I have never heard of a Developed Vetting denial being overruled. Here’s why…🧵

Just seen a screening of @nebriefing.bsky.social's film. Wow! So much to take in. It's scary in places but offers practical solutions to the #ClimateCrisis. There are now 3 screenings planned for Richmond Borough and 100s nationally. Momentum is building fast. www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

A GENTLE REMINDER: we are trying to eliminate fossil fuels because using them kills us.

If fossil fuels were cheap (they're not) or reliable (they're SO NOT), it would still be urgent to get rid of them because their intended use destroys our life support systems.

After a review of coverage by nine legacy UK newspapers, J. Painter, S. Cocks, and S. Hayes find that media framing is playing a significant role in shaping political debate around Net Zero, often without balanced evidence. See their new paper below. www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

🛢️ With oil and gas still dominating the headlines, Labour must stay united and double down on clean energy.

📣 As Dr Amy McDonnell—Co-Director, Zero Hour—makes clear: more North Sea drilling won’t cut bills, it risks our clean energy future.

First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels Colombia and the Netherlands will host the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels. The Conference is designed as a space for countries, subnational governments and other stakeholders...

Interesting. An international conference specifically about transitioning away from fossil fuels. This is a way for countries that get it to cooperate outside the sclerotic UNFCCC framework. Worth watching.

UK emissions figures out today. 2025 is only 1.8% down on 2024. Far from enough for the threat we face.

There’s great work going on in greening the grid. But beyond that it’s mostly flat. Transport even up since 2022!

Let's be honest. We cannot do this within business-as-usual.

Trump says U.S. will blockade Strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail Trump said the U.S. blockade will stop Iran from policing the strait and benefiting economically while the rest of the world suffers from its closure.

So US is going to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. No oil or anything else gets out. Prices will skyrocket. Nothing could be better from the Russian perspective.

Donald J. Trump O @realDonaldTrump
So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an "ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT" basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, "There may be a mine out there somewhere," that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted. I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!
Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their "Leaders," are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition. The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully "LOCKED AND LOADED," and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Tim Crosland from Defend Our Juries speaks out as police unlawfully arrest hundreds of peaceful protestors for holding signs.

He says the arrests are a result of the "crazy demented ideology" combining Zionism and corporate fascism, which is Keir Starmer supports.

The Met shouldn't be threatening to arrest people for supporting Palestine Action, as they'll be opening themselves up to future legal action for wrongful arrest following the high court ruling regardless of the Home Office appeal. Anyone causing trouble yes feel free to nick them #r4today

So oil prices have plunged... but when will they rise again? Next week? After the #ceasefire? When the Strait of Hormuz closes again?

Trump's war on Iran shows the instability of a world powered by fossil fuels.

Labour must end fossil fuels. Now.
