My first comment piece in @guardian is on a topic very close to my heart; the threat that the #ClimateCrisis poses to my local community in South Wales.
Here's a thread with a few extra thoughts from me 🧵

- 🚨Stop Scrolling! Let's pause & reflect a minute about what this shocking picture of @GretaThunberg 's arrest tells us about the current state of #climate politics. A short 🧵on some key lessons we can take from this image
- One thing I wished more people understood about climate change is that we have not yet experienced any where near the full consequences of the warming we've already caused. Here's a 🧵 explaining why...
- "As pressures increase and the risk of Earth's climate system switching to a catastrophic state rises, more and more scientists have begun to research the possibility of societal collapse." 😬 Read that twice!
- It is increasingly clear that there's now a concerted effort under way in parts of the British press to derail action on the #ClimateEmergency. This🧵highlights key examples & shows how the main arguments are textbook #ClimateDelay 1/n
- The home secretary is confused, can you point out for her which of the following images is not 'serious disruption' ? #ClimateEmergency #EndFossilFuels x.com/SuellaBraverma…
These unacceptable protests at Wimbledon were intended to ruin the day for the paying public. Today I chaired talks @10DowningStreet with sporting, police & government teams to help tackle serious disruption of this kind bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/6… bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/6… - The KEY question, I'm asked by students when I guest lecture about the #ClimateCrisis is 'but what can we do?' So I recently rewrote my materials to try & tackle that question head on. Feel free to adapt them. Buckle up - here's a LONG thread🧵about how we can fight back!
- "We conclude that a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation cannot be considered a low-probability event anymore." - Prof. Sybren Drijfhout et al. #ClimateEmergency
- 1/ Here's a🧵on why the record shattering extremes in Europe are so unsettling for climate scientists. It's increasingly looking that we've underestimated the impacts of #ClimateBreakdown...BREAKING: Rome, Italy just experienced its highest temperature in recorded history with 42.9°C (109.2°F). This beats the previous record from 2022 by 2 full degrees Celsius. That is a huge margin.
- 1/ The most common question I get asked when I give talks about the #ClimateCrisis is "but what can I do as an individual?" Here's my answer... 🧵
- 1/ This is the UK's Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. He's bullshitting you. Let's debunk his nonsense line by line...🧵Here's why Labour's Just Stop Oil approach to banning oil & gas licences is totally disingenuous...
00:00 - Replying to @ThierryAaron2/ What a difference 6 years makes! In many ways climate politics is in a very different place to how it was when @GretaThunberg first started her strikes outside the Swedish parliament in the summer of 2018 to try and put the #ClimateCrisis on the agenda
- Replying to @ThierryAaron15/ I've made my choice to stand by @GretaThunberg & all those who have listened to the science & are fighting for #ClimateJustice If you are looking for a way to be involved check out: stopfossilsubsidies.eu Saturday's actions were just the start of a new wave of activism💚✊
