🧵/1️⃣ Is the UK's next climate target actually legal? On Wednesday Parliament votes on the Seventh Carbon Budget. Our evidence shows the Govt hasn't met its legal & scientific duties. Help us challenge it in court. #CarbonReckoning crowdjustice.com/case/carbon… @ChrisGPackham

The River Wensum is under threat if Norfolk County Council decide to press ahead with yet another road scheme theguardian.com/environment/… @guardian

It is vital @NorfolkCC considers non-road alternatives to the Norwich Western Link. A new road in the Wensum Valley would increase toxic runoff into the Wensum, one of the main sources of pollution. edp24.co.uk/news/26652749.ri… @StopWensumLink

It's encouraging that the Foreign Secretary is presenting this crucial report to ministers from other governments. But it's simply wrong that MPs, including those on the Environmental Audit Committee, are still being denied access to the full report.

We’re on a pathway to a dead planet. Fossil fuel giants are hurtling us towards disaster and making a tidy profit in the process. Their intransigence is matched only by nature-wrecking developers and the emerging AI nightmare. They’ll ruin all our lives if we don’t stop them.

Many hundreds of billions of tons of carbon are stored in sediments on the ocean floor, reports a new scientific assessment. When disturbed by bottom trawling or seabed mining it can be emitted as CO2, contributing to climate change. phys.org/news/2026-09-health…

"As we enter what is likely the worst #ElNiño event in history, amid geopolitical turmoil that would have put our systems under grave pressure even on its own, consideration of how we can adapt and survive is urgent." We face a choice; build resilience or be shaped by crisis. resilience.org/stories/2026-…

This is not a good idea. Having the stands free from drink helps them feel safe, especially when you're taking children to the match. Allowing drinking throughout the game would mean some fans consuming much more alcohol which would definitely create issues.

The climate crisis poses a critical defence threat. So why are MPs still being denied access to the full Joint Intelligence Committee report?

Lots of talk about Sagal Abdi-Wali not turning up to Camden Muslim Network hustings in Holborn & St Pancras and pictures of empty chair. Residents should get the opportunity to ask her questions more than they probably will over next couple of weeks and it would have been really interesting to hear her answers. Holding this seat since forever, Labour are in the lead in Holborn & St Pancras and their campaign is a lot about not making any game-changing public blunders before polling day and limiting risk. That’s part of reason you’ll see more pictures of canvassers consolidating votes in areas like Kentish Town rather than taking on too many awkward doorstep discussions south of Euston Road where they lost council seats to the Greens amid a lot of anger over Gaza. A mini Ming Vase strategy, perhaps. At same time, it would be helpful if the hustings organisers were a little clearer on how candidates were invited and when. Announcement was made at start that CMN (formed 2024) is not party political and members have a range of views. That all being said, there was a CMN pamphlet (from last summer) at the door with articles from Andrew Feinstein and Camden Green leader Lorna Russell, an editorial about how Keir Starmer had let done the constituency and a survey about Labour’s ‘disconnect’ with the area. If Labour’s campaign organisers saw that, they would have shuddered and we probably then know the answer as to why she wasn’t there.

"In mainland China a 100-day campaign has been launched to prepare for extreme weather and help safeguard harvests against the opposing extremes of drought and intense rainfall" And in the UK????? theguardian.com/environment/…

Caroline Lucas, "When someone like Sam Altman says, ‘Trust me, I’m going to be able to take care of this for you,’ we should all be deeply worried indeed." "And of course, when you’ve got Geoffrey Hinton, who’s known as the godfather of AI, himself saying that he believes those whistleblowers who suggested there is a 10% chance of human extinction sound about right, then I think we need to be deeply worried." "But I think the most worrying thing about it, in a sense, is not the technology per se. It’s the capitalist giants who own it and whose interests it serves." "So it seems to me that, in a way, this kind of AI is a microcosm of so many things that are wrong in the world, because it’s basically controlled by a very small handful of people who are out for as much profit as they can possibly get." "So I accept that there are obviously positive gains to be had from AI, but I think we really need to ask some deeper questions about who owns it, what it’s going for, and how we are going to try to regulate it going forward." "And I do support those people who are calling for some kind of pause." "I know that’s controversial, and people say, Trump says, ‘We can’t possibly pause because whoever wins AI wins.’" "Well, I’d love to know what exactly we’re winning." "And I would like to remind governments that most voters probably don’t want to be dead — not overnight, anyway." "Therefore, having a pause, looking again at things like the data centres causing so much concern up and down the country because they are massive users of energy and water, we need to think about this stuff before we just rush in there madly." "And I think we can take some learning from what’s happened with things like climate-change agreements and nuclear agreements, which have been international agreements where we’re often told this is going to be impossible." "But actually, you had Reagan and Gorbachev getting together to look at how we can try to have at least some controls over nuclear weapons." "We need that same degree of political will on this, I think." My view: Her argument is not that AI has no benefits, but that its development is being driven at breakneck speed by a tiny number of immensely powerful companies, with the public expected to trust them after the fact. The extinction-risk figures may be contested, but the immediate questions are real: who owns the systems, who profits from them, whose jobs and data are being used, and who pays for the enormous demands on energy and water? Calling for a pause is not anti-technology. It is a demand for democratic control before private firms make irreversible decisions for everyone else. We managed international agreements on nuclear weapons and climate because the risks crossed borders. AI deserves the same seriousness - before “winning” becomes more important than protecting people.

This is one of the reasons why I am standing in Holborn and St Pancras. Only a Green win will put the pressure on the Prime Minister for real change, and not copy and paste from Keir Starmer.

Our movement is growing, we are working together to represent people across Holborn and St Pancras. Let's go win the election.

The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets between them have lost 11.3 TRILLION tons of ice since 1979 - enough to make a cube with sides 14 miles long - new research concludes. The loss has mainly been caused by glaciers moving ever faster to the sea. gizmodo.com/polar-ice-sheets…
