Bristol's radical rebellion for climate justice. Rising up against climate breakdown and ecological collapse as part of a global movement. #ExtinctionRebellion
- Reposted by @XRBristolA friend pointed me to a post on social media of a letter by Kerry McCarthy MP (Labour, Bristol East) about a request for a televised emergency briefing on the #ClimateEmergency I was stunned by how casually the idea & its urgency were dismissed. Let’s unpack why this response is so wrong-headed 🧵
- Reposted by @XRBristol"We're here in 2026, & we're not making any progress. We continue to increase emissions." Prof. Johan Rockström, @pik-potsdam.bsky.social on the disconnect between climate goals & the reality of our rising global emissions. Stagnation is a risk we can't afford to stay within planetary boundaries. 🚨

- Reposted by @XRBristol10/ Politicians igored them because warnings alone do not compel action in the face of organised vested interests. Fossil capital. Extractive industries. Short-term political incentives. Institutional inertia. These were always the real obstacles, not a lack of credibility.
