  I joined the #GreenParty Regents Park canvassing team on Monday for #ZackPolanski campaign in #holbornandstpancras - great to meet so many committed young Greens! I wanted to go again today but sadly ill. Sending everyone out canvassing and leafletting these last few days all the very best. And voters: go for Green! Everything nice about Burnham/Labour now comes from Green pressure. More pressure = better government.

  RE: https://mastodon.green/@pvonhellermannn/116139400797198403 The Guardian, too. Make no mistake: this is the Establishment kicking in, seeding seeds of doubt. It is disgusting. This is what the Guardian is. Taking same line as Nigel Farage. I still subscribe, I really should not. #UKPolitics #GreenParty #TheGuardian

  I am watching #Newsnight and so extremely angry about how it’s all being framed. Everyone, presenter, Reform, Labour, ganging up on Greens. Then the “breaking news” of concerning levels of “family voting” - i don’t know, it sounds like a move to discredit things. #UKPolitics #Byelections #GreenParty

  Bloody Hope! Hope again! I am so sick of hope. Didn’t like it as s message in climate activism (we need hope); didn’t particularly like it as a slogan for Greens; and now like it even less that it’s been stolen by Labour (like so much else in Burnham’s speech). It’s completely meaningless and crap. Also: what a phenomenal admission of failure, for a governing party!

  #ClimateDiary #DystopiaDiary Anyone else finding it quite hard just to, like, make it through the day? The UK government is now telling us to stock up because of Godzilla ElNino kicking off in autumn. 2026 has already been horrific, bleak and scary - wildfires, heatwave, drought, #Nepal 💔😢 and all. Meanwhile feels like huge financial crash and a lot more war coming soon too. Not to mention AI dystopia. Plus personal #Precarity for so many of us, worry every day. Like, how are you all coping?

  #ClimateDiary I watched my village disappear in an instant. “When I finally reached someone — an elder brother’s house — it was his wife who answered. “There’s nothing left in the village,” she said simply. “Most of the people are gone.” I couldn’t make myself believe it. Sole and Tupche sit nearly a hundred metres above the riverbed. No flood in living memory — in centuries, as far as anyone knew — had ever reached that high.” #Nepal #Glacier https://kathmandupost.com/province-no-3/2026/08/...

  #ClimateDiary The land slide and flash flood disaster in #Nepal and #Tibet is soo awful. My heart and thoughts are constantly with all those people who lived through this, those who didn’t make it, and those now having to somehow regather. All that footage where you see people running as fast as they can and then being completely engulfed.. just awful. Also, of course, the injustice of it all, striking there. #ClimateJustice

  #ClimateDiary Major flash floods in Nepal, hundreds missing. The footage here is truly terrifying. #Nepal Also: please note the “including foreign tourists”. Euphemism for: “the humans who truly count”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/aug/26/nepal-tibet-himalayas-flash-floods-missing-foreign-tourists-latest-news-updates?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

  #ClimateDiary A new term I learned recently and have to log here: #FalseAutumn. All those trees already hsving brown leaves ans shedding them in August: that’s what it describes. Saw this everywhere on holiday in France and back here in Sussex (UK) too.

  RIP Jason Arday. The media and social media hounding of one living individual, taking apart his whole life, was awful. Guardian, Telegraph, you with headline articles about him day after day: you are all to blame.

  #ClimateDiary Supermarkets sounding alarm over food security; yesterday a wildfire in Suffolk came close to a nuclear power station; drought declared in half of England: And not a peep from Burnham. Nothing!! Maybe he is too busy rolling out popular measures pre-prepared to react to what is actually going on. #UKPolitics https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/tesco-sainsburys-aldi-sound-alarm-food-supplies-britain-5HjdfLY_2/

  #ClimateDiary The Times today, Saturday 25th July. Sums up this moment perfectly: the world is on fire, but the right and supporting media relentlessly push through their anti #NetZero agenda. I wonder whether extreme weather events this year and next - climate emergency in full swing! - will make any difference to current policy momentum. I fear not. But who knows. Burnham on #Rosebank will be indicative.

  #ClimateDiary Mother texting worried about our upcoming trip through France to Spain because of #Wildfires. I then saw that Google Maps provides updates. Sharing in case useful for anyone else. Meanwhile, yesterday 5th local wildfire here, near Eastbourne, in Sussex. (PS we are driving to Spain in our electric car. But yes, reply guys probably have every right to say - like my mother! - you are contributing to the problem)

  #ClimateDiary Rhine, Danube, Elbe, Loire. Some of Europe’s biggest rivers are going dry this summer Thinking about that list of river names, so full of European history and meaning for so many of us. They really ARE us, sources of life, shaping all that Europe is. This brings home how vital #RightsOfNature, giving rivers rights, really are.

  #ClimateDiary Those images of the fires on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh - terrifying, apocalyptic. Adding this to #DystopiaDiary too. Let’s not ever get used to this, let’s continue to refuse to accept this as normal.

  RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/116938465316233197 #ClimateDiary Fuming about my family (as so often - it is unfair, but they are very very nice liberal centrists, and so whenever I yet again rage against liberal centrists, I focus on them, which is NOT fair!). They all love Mark Carney. Because he did so much about climate when Gov of Bank of England.

  And for second week in a row, an opportunity for combining #ClimateDiary and #FensterFreitag offered itself - and again it is also about the joy of improvisation! Spotted at friends’ house yesterday - very impressed by their umbrella placement to reduce heat 😊 #Heatwave #WindowFriday

  This is a lovely, hugely inspiring clip about how the botanist Hugh Wilson revived an Aotearoa, New Zealand landscape destroyed by farming, simoly by letting gorse be and do its own thing. #Regenerative #RegenerativeAnthropology https://youtu.be/ncl8zknx2T8

  #ClimateDiary Facebook is a cesspit I know. I was not on it for 3 years but reactivated my account for local elections in May(stood as a #GreenParty candidate). Awful as it is, it is the best source of local news, including #Wildfires. 3 in last few days. I wouldn’t be aware of any of this without FB. Also the warnings and advice - none of it. 1/2

  #ClimateDiary There are #Wildfires everywhere. Everywhere! Right here outside Eastbourne, other places in Sussex; in Wales, Scotland, France, Spain, Germany, US, etc etc. It really is the #Pyrocene. And yet STILL hardly anyone is talking about it.

  #ClimateDiary Yesterday another evening walk, beautiful light again, but this time unsettling. Chestnuts almost fully formed, ripened blackberries, dried brown dropped leaves everywhere, and of course dried grass. 12th July. I mean, this really is not normal, right? Chestnuts and blackberries in July? (or was i not paying attention before; perennial question- #Phenology)
