Facing the climate and nature emergency can mean sadness, loss and a disturbing sense of unreality. Something I wrote a while back with my children in mind for @letterstoearth_ read here by Benedict Cumberbatch @letterslive NB other emotions - defiance, hope - are also available.

Either the current govt are deeply cynical and misinformed on Heathrow and new oil fields, or it's a cunning plan to make everyone climate-concerned vote Green next election. Wouldn't you say @Ed_Miliband ?

So sad that idiots who talk shit get such a platform because of their $$$ and because other commentators fall over themselves to amplify them. On most subjects there are - shock horror - real experts and thoughtful people who actually deserve attention.

@paula_read Hm, not sure why. url-wise I think it it should work at

I think it's probably time though a shame to have to start from scratch because of that Trump-soaked vandal!

Congratulations to (S)hell for their win in court this week against the need to cut company emissions. Just the latest in a long and proud history of making the world a better place!

@labourlewis Sadly you've described exactly what Starmer and Reeves are doing: banging on about growth as if that's what people in general wake up thinking about.

RT @DoctorVive: How do none of the takes about the election mention what it means for the habitability of our planet? How?

@James_BG Love the way your next tweet after this 'bright side' is to affirm how 'unbearably bleak' this is and how it's a 'major blow' to climate action. You can't buy that level of cheering-up for love nor money. Thanks for trying anyway 😞

The wonderful comedian Janey Godley died last week. In 2016 she welcomed Trump to Scotland in a way many of us can relate to to this day.

There's no take on this, no spin, that changes the fact it is fucking terrible for climate, nature and so much else. We get to feel like shit and react accordingly. Then at some point we drag our weary bones back up from the ground and do whatever is left that we can do.

Another day, another major UN warning on climate...

@JKSteinberger three posts down from yours... Also taking rather more solpadeine these days than is recommended.

This really puts the climate crisis and collapse of Earth's life support systems into perspective. We're even talking *queues* now people ☠️☠️☠️
