UK: Sign and share high-impact parliamentary petition led by Chris Packham for a UK-wide emergency briefing on climate and nature risks

Chris Packham has just posted a petition on the UK Parliament petition site, asking the Government to give a national briefing by experts on the threats to the UK from climate and nature breakdown - including to our national security - and on what we can do about it.

If the petition gets 10,000 signatures, the Government will respond to it, and with 100,000 signatures, it will be considered for debate in Parliament.

It just went up a few hours ago and it's already off like a rocket. It's part of a well-backed major initiative called the National Emergency Briefing to get the Government to do a prime-time televised briefing, deliver a response with the necessary scale and speed, and show international leadership.

Please sign the petition and share it as widely as you can. Never mind 100k, let's go for a million signatures and make it impossible not to debate this in Parliament.

Emergency briefing film touring Wiltshire to raise awareness of climate emergency

Good to see this film being screened by local groups in Wiltshire. It's fronted by Chris Packham and spearheads a major push to tell the British public the truth about the risks to the UK from the climate and nature crisis and about the solutions that exist - if we act fast enough.

Screenings focus on local action and the local MP is always invited and asked to ask the Government to do a prime-time, televised national emergency briefing on the crisis, mount a proper emergency response, and show international leadership.

UK: Fantastic new 'Nature + National Security Bill'! Ask your MP by 21 May to adopt it for the parliamentary ballot.

Really excited! Just got an email to say that Zero Hour have developed a ‘Nature + National Security Bill’ that for the first time puts nature forward as critical national infrastructure that’s vital for national security.

We haven’t seen this approach to nature protection before and I think it's genius! It could be a real winner.

Zero Hour want us to ask our MPs to adopt the bill and put it forward in Parliament if they’re one of the 20 MPs drawn in the ballot on May 21. Ballot winners get the chance to introduce any piece of legislation they want, with dedicated parliamentary time to debate it.

More info on Zero Hour’s website, including an easy way to email your MP, which I’ve just done.

Please write to your MP too and spread the word! Zero Hour are serious, well-organised campaigners and this could get over the line.

Zero Hour are running a Zoom call about the bill on Thursday 14 May - if you subscribe to their info, I assume you'll get the link (I'm not sure that it would be OK for me to post it here).

A great model for other countries too, IMO.

Doctors' Association UK: "Host a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing"

"DAUK is encouraging doctors and healthcare professionals to hold a screening of a new film on the climate crisis and its impact on health.

"The film – the People’s Emergency Briefing – is a public information initiative to ensure the UK is fully briefed on the climate and nature crisis.

"It presents the national implications of climate and nature breakdown – along with credible, positive responses – in a single, accessible account designed for screening in communities across the UK.

"Now the Doctors’ Association (DAUK) is asking doctors and healthcare professionals to take the film into hospitals, GP surgeries and healthcare organisations..."

I just came across this organisation and its very well-backed, philanthropist-funded campaign a couple of days ago (I'm not affiliated with it). It's very impressive and it looks as though it has an excellent chance of getting the horrific truth out about the cruelty involved in industrial animal agriculture, and making change happen

And, of course, fantastic for the animals!

I hope lots of people will join me in signing this petition. If you go to the website, you'll see lots of other quick and easy actions you can take to support their campaigns, such as sending an auto-email to your MP, emailing Tesco and McDonald's to tell them to stop selling meat from pigs killed in CO2 gas-chambers, etc.

A very copyable policy! From the article:

'Amsterdam has become the world's first capital city to ban public advertisements for both meat and fossil fuel products. Since 1 May, adverts for burgers, petrol cars and airlines have been stripped from billboards, tram shelters, and metro stations. [...]

'Politicians in the city say the move is about bringing Amsterdam's streetscape into line with the local government's own environmental targets.

'These aim for the Dutch capital to become carbon neutral by 2050, and for local people to halve their meat consumption over the same period.

'"The climate crisis is very urgent," says Anneke Veenhoff from the GreenLeft Party. "I mean, if you want to be leading in climate policies and you rent out your walls to exactly the opposite, then what are you doing?"'

Please join me and send a 30-second auto-email to McDonalds to stop selling dishes made from meat from pigs killed in CO₂ gas chambers by Cranswick PLC.

Apparently, 90% of pigs in the UK are killed this way. The organisation behind the petition is called Project Slingshot and they've put a video, fronted by Chris Packham, among others, showing the process and it was so horrific I couldn't keep watching it (it's on YouTube, titled 'Gaslit: The Truth About CO2 Gas Chambers in the UK'.

Looks like a really well-backed petition, to DEFRA (the relevant government department), with a video featuring George Monbiot and Chris Packham, showing the horrific reality of gas-chamber slaughter:

"For decades, the government’s own Animal Welfare Committee has warned that killing pigs with CO₂ gas causes extreme suffering. In 2003, it stated that CO₂ killing is “not acceptable” and should be phased out within five years. Instead, it has become the norm, and 90% of pigs in the UK are now killed this way..."
