"Every major ecosystem, that we depend on for our own survival, is on a pathway to collapse." Watch @CarolineLucas on BBC #QuestionTime talking about the suppressed National Security Assessment (NSA). We MUST continue to push for the UK Government to release the full report. #climate #ukgovernment #dobetter

This is the REDACTED version of the UK government report on ecosystem collapse. They refuse to release the full version. Imagine how bad that must be. No wonder @ChrisGPackham is pissed off and demanding better. assets.publishing.service.go…

A UK national security assessment has warned that climate-driven ecosystem collapse could threaten our food security, drive migration, increase geopolitical instability and raise the risk of conflict. It was published in January. Most people have never heard of it. We should be talking about this far more.👇 assets.publishing.service.go…
