Community assemblies are empowering the public — and the administrative class is panicking. Their distractions won’t stop what’s coming next: organised communities demanding decency. My piece in the New Statesman.

Fossil fuel firms have won $84bn by suing governments for acting on climate—more than the GDP of 45 nations. Climate finance in reverse, draining countries trying to protect us. And our govt still backs corporations over people.
Hello, foreign oligarchs and corporations! Please come and sue the UK for billions | George Monbiot
The case of a planned Cumbrian coalmine shows how governments around the world are being threatened by litigation in shadowy offshore courts, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

As the world cooks, rich nations are slamming their doors to refugees. The EU plans to triple its border budget, the UK is clamping down on asylum, and the US is ramping up deportations. Those least responsible for the crisis are being tortured by its creators. Where is the justice?

Synthetic biology could help cut emissions - but let’s be clear: we can’t only geo-engineer our way out of the climate emergency. Engineered microbes won’t stop oil rigs, gas pipelines, or governments siding with fossil barons. Only people power can.

Engineered microbes could tackle climate change, if we ensure it's done safely
As the climate crisis accelerates, there's a desperate need to rapidly reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, both by slashing emissions and by pulling carbon out of the air.

The Mediterranean has lost 20% of its rainfall in 25 years. That’s not “natural variability” — it’s climate chaos.

Agriculture, water security, and whole societies are at risk, while leaders still expand oil and gas.

A new report shows the Congo Basin — Earth’s largest tropical carbon sink — is breaking down. The cause? Corruption, extractive industries, and a global economy that still treats Central Africa as a sacrifice zone.

Climate colonialism in action.

Reading Amnesty’s report, you feel the scale of the horror — 2 billion lives on the line.

I’ve seen how this crisis breaks people. It broke me too...

But we can’t give up. The fight for a liveable world is the fight for all of us.
