NEW: Boris Johnson awards Gavin Williamson a knighthood. Why *now*? In middle of Russian crisis? He was appointed defence secretary in Nov 2017 at exact moment, FBI revealed its Trump-Russia investigation began in London. Is this relevant? 1/ theguardian.com/politics/202…

The top map shows which nations are most responsible for excess emissions. The bottom map shows which nations are most impacted by it. If we are not attentive to the colonial dimensions of climate breakdown, we are missing the point.

I have said this often, but it is worth repeating: Even if a (very) few plants DO grow better in a peat-based compost that does not justify peat extraction. A (very) small loss of quality in a garden does not EVER justify peat use.

The ruling elite are not going to voluntarily take the necessary steps to stop climate breakdown, and they are certainly not going to do it in a just and equitable way. The sooner we realise this fact, the better.

Perhaps instead of talking about rich people's net "worth", we should talk about their net *appropriation* — of human labour and our planet's resources.

A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today. When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.

Solidarity with @ChrisGPackham, unbowed despite yet another disgraceful attack. Intimidation is rife in the countryside, especially against those who oppose hunting and environmental destruction. It's far from the domain of innocence we like to imagine. theguardian.com/uk-news/2021…
