Newcastle expert highlights climate crisis in a new film A leading Newcastle University climate scientist is featured in a new film about how the climate and nature breakdown will affect the UK.

The People's Emergency Briefing:

🎬 New film fronted by Chris Packham lays out how climate and nature breakdown is already affecting UK life — from food prices to health to national security. Featuring Co-Centre researcher Prof @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social

@nebriefing.bsky.social.
A new film has been released, & we are proud to be hosting a screening on 22 April here at @newcastleuni.bsky.social
The screening is free to attend and open to all.

UK map with location markers for all public and private screenings planned so far

Screenings of The People’s Emergency Briefing began today and are already planned in all 650 constituencies of the UK and @sioldridge.bsky.social and @nickoldridge.bsky.social have requests to show or make equivalent films overseas! We are going to need a bigger map! www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

Great visualization about how warming in the Arctic (like we're having right now) is leading to colder winters with more snowfall 👇

It's awfully ironic that this was Lord Whitehead's answer, as at the @nebriefing.bsky.social Prof. @kevinclimate.bsky.social told the attendees in no uncertain terms that the 1.5C goal was now out of reach and 2C will soon be too!

That many dont know this yet shows the need of a government briefing

Why would the Government 𝗻𝗼𝘁 brief the public on the biggest threat to face our nation?

Thank you to Baroness Natalie Bennett for asking this important question in the House of Lords, echoing the call from experts and over 37,000 signatories

Professor Hayley Fowler - National Emergency Briefing 2025 YouTube video by We Don't Have Time

"I was talking about extreme weather events. How they're rapidly increasing all over the world. How they're increasing much faster than #climate models predict. So faster than we expected, & they're causing severe impacts"

- Prof. @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social speaking at the @nebriefing.bsky.social

This is not the video I had planned to make. I had a completely different video planned for today. But life changed last week, and I thought you should know about it. Visit the National Emergency Briefing website…

Watching this and hearing @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social say "This is the least extreme climate that you will experience in your lifetime" should have everyone rushing to sign this open letter to the PM www.nebriefing.org/open-letter-... Kill the disinfo - the UK needs to be properly prepared!

. @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social from our School of Engineering @nclengineering.bsky.social recently appeared on BBC's A Question of Science to answer audience questions about the climate emergency.

I’ve just announced I’ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , it’s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all .

National Emergency Briefing on climate & nature The time for warnings is over. This is a briefing for the age of impacts. Please ask your MP to attend.

📢 Britain faces a climate & nature emergency.
On 27 Nov, eight leading experts will brief 800+ leaders from politics, business, culture, faith & media.

An unfiltered overview of the latest threats & solutions.
Only by facing it can we rise to the challenge.

This is a very nice new paper I was involved in. It is a very powerful new method for investigating the thermodynamic effects of climate change on rainfall extremes, with some quite sobering results showing very large increases in intensity.

I'll be on the panel for this podcast with @briancoxtalks.bsky.social next week. We are talking about climate adaptation. You can be part of the audience (sign up in the link below) #ClimateCrisis

Many thanks to Prof @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social
and her team @newcastleuni.bsky.social for hosting us! Great to share our first-year wins and hear all about their incredible Climate+ research.

Shame I didn't see this until now. I'd have come to see it. She looks delighted!
