Dear @bbcnews.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social 🔔This is all across local news. The government hasn't yet briefed the public on the severe threats from climate change and nature loss, so civil society is taking matters into its own hands. Articles from just last 10 days👇

Economist Angela Francis at the National Emergency Briefing: a faster transition from fossil fuels to superior renewables will help the cost of living and create good jobs. But the losers, the fossil fuel industry, are blocking progress, lobbying government. #NationalEmergencyBriefing

6️⃣ So many benefits will flow if we break free from business-as-usual. Here is energy expert @tessakhan.bsky.social explaining why a renewables-based energy system is so superior. Yes, the Government is pushing to green our grid, but that is only around a fifth of our energy use. #NEB2025
