If the National Emergency Briefing had been able to squeeze in another briefing Plastic and other Pollution would have been my top picks. Here’s why. Two other contenders would be Misinformation and the Psychology of Action.

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

Climate breakdown threatens our food supply, health and national security but an alternative future is still possible.

Climate variations over the last 2000 years provide valuable context and help answer questions about how unusual the recent changes are.

In October 2021, we brought Climate Canopy - an immersive representation of climate change - to COP26 in Glasgow.

By bringing art and science together, Climate Canopy acknowledged that climate change is not only a scientific problem but a human problem 💙

So many myths about #PlasticWaste and #PlasticPollution. It can't really be recycled, only downcycled. Not for a #CircularEconomy.

How much carbon budget do we have left if we want to stay below 1.5˚C?

Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C.
