My bail conditions from @NorthantsPolice now forbid me from climbing any tree in Northamptonshire, so I was so pleased this morning to wake up to the news that another tree protector has occupied the trees in Wellingborough. Deep gratitude & respect to this person.
❗️BREAKING❗️ Wellingborough tree protected again!
A tree protector has climbed the same tree in the early hours of this morning that @paulpowlesland climbed yesterday, to stop it being felled. Solidarity with these brave people protecting nature 💚

So, I find myself 30ft in the air up a tree in Wellingborough- surrounded by police, security & tree surgeons- trying to prevent an illegal tree felling. How did I end up here? Here’s an outrageous story of nature destruction & collusion between authorities & private developer 🧵
I'm calling on @PrideEdinburgh to sign @fossilfreepride's pledge because there is #NoPrideInFossilFuels
Last year @ExxonMobil sponsored #EdinburghPride and many other Prides across the UK including @Soton_Pride - queer people deserve better.
Pledge: ctt.ec/baaL0+

Tragedy unfolding on Keystone Pipeline near the Nebraska/Kansas border. What @TCEnergy will not admit is that they cannot “clean” this up. They will scrape the vegetation and topsoil, treat it, and haul to a landfill. Riparian (stream) damage for decade+.

Scarlet fever is getting a lot of media attention at the moment, because of an increased number of cases and sporadic antibiotic shortages. I know parents are worrying. So, here's another set of photos of what it looks like on darker skin.

This is a critically important new study. It shows that exceeding 1.5 degrees will likely trigger five tipping points, including Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheet collapse. We need radical climate policy to prevent this. theguardian.com/environment/…

It goes without saying that we must at last also get serious about the longer term answers to this nightmare:
- accelerate renewable/nuclear generation capacity
- reform our market to delink electricity from gas prices
- make energy efficiency a policy priority
