@abilutangwa.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialThere is no economic growth on a dead planet. You can't have profit on a dead planet. No planet, no profit. No planet, no economy. Simple. A dead planet has no GDP. The economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the planet.
@abilutangwa.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialWhen farms stop yielding, hunger does not knock — it breaks the door. Across the Horn of Africa, soils that once fed nations are turning barren. This is not “bad weather.” This is climate change rewriting our food systems in real time.

@abilutangwa.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialIt's not climate change. It's corporate greed.
The planet isn't dying, it's being killed. #StopEcocide
@tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialAfter a wonderful day at the #LeistonBookFestival on Saturday, speaking alongside @bishopnorwich.bsky.social, here is a short piece I have written. substack.com/home/post/p-...
The second photo is of me chatting to a reader in the snack booth of the cinema!
@robertashton.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialAnother successful #Leiston book festival, but there's one more unmissable event to come!
Net zero is a description of scientific fact: if we do not meet that target, we are doomed to repeat summers much worse than that just gone, with all of the accompanying damage to food supplies and infrastructure. So why are our politicians so weak on the climate? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
@tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialIt’s tomorrow!! The #Leiston Book Festival, which I have been looking forward to for months!
@robertashton.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialIf like me you love #Suffolk, #books & #nature, you'll love my interview with @jackycollissharvey.bsky.social on ABC Radio www.mixcloud.com/gwradio/mad-...
@robertashton.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialWe're looking forward to +Graham's session at Leiston Book Festival @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social. Walking in the countryside is one of best ways to restore our connection with nature and our faith. Tickets here:
@robertashton.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialWe have a handful of tickets left for Saturday's Leiston Book Festival www.linkedin.com/posts/robert...
@newschambers.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialBreaking: In a potentially landmark decision, a major data centre project in Mayo has had planning permission overturned over climate concerns.

@ayoub.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialFriend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible
@karlykingsley.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialAnthropic’s CEO says that the company needs hundreds of billions in revenue or they’re going to go bankrupt. Awww…Maybe he can only drink coffee at home, get a second job, and work a lot harder. Polluting the environment and creating societal nightmares must be so exhausting
@tomkinsdeb.bsky.social…which is why political extremism/fascism is cyclical? By the time the indifferent people wake up it’s too late. Then after a long struggle and much horror everyone says we will learn from this and it will never happen again. Then the fascist third gain power once more. A long road ahead, sadly.
@nataliegreenpeer.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.social"Water use was commercially confidential."
No, that is not acceptable. If you are using a scarce, essential, valuable _public_ resource, you have to be transparent about it, and prepared to justify it

@gregorynorminton.bsky.socialReposted by @tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialThe chief vectors of the fascism ascendant in Europe are the richest man on Earth via his social media platform, the Presidency of the United States, and the Kremlin. A multi-pronged assault on liberal democracy and liberal democracy seems incapable of rising to the challenge or even recognising it.
@tomkinsdeb.bsky.socialThank you, Grace. Please look out for an email from me regarding a Christian resource for climate grief from @greenchristian.org.uk !
