- This book taught me more about battling the climate and ecological crisis than pretty much anything I've read, and is indispensible in the struggle against fascism
- Reposted by Dr Charlie GardnerSix Palestine Action protesters have been cleared of aggravated burglary over a break-in at a UK subsidiary of an Israeli [weapons factory]. The six were also charged with criminal damage and violent disorder but the jury reached partial or no verdicts. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Reposted by Dr Charlie GardnerI'm not sure people appreciate quite what a blow to Starmer's government the acquittal of the Palestine Action protestors is. It both blows apart the whole proscription idea and demonstrates how out of touch they are. This was a jury. Juries represent the public.

- Reposted by Dr Charlie GardnerSpecies shift their ranges in response to climate change, but many can't keep up. The resulting "community-climate disequilibrium" can impair ecosystem function and cause counterintuitive dynamics, like short-term gain but long-term loss onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Reducing your footprint is just a small part of what you can do for climate and nature You can also influence other people, transform your community, reshape your workplace and campaign for change across society. It's long past time to look beyond your footprint, and consider your handprint

Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

However, they are in a bad way: smothered in plastic & rubbish swept in by the tide & with invasive species encroaching further every year

- Reposted by Dr Charlie GardnerThe majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

- Reposted by Dr Charlie GardnerSadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn’t make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with. Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it’s beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast
