The RSPB has many staff who are concerned and are well informed about the climate crisis.
The leadership of the organisation would do well to listen to them.

The RSPB is in many respects an admirable organisation.
But regarding climate communication, it's failing.
Historians will look back and wonder why it failed during these critical years, and when they look for words to describe this period the ones that may come to mind are dereliction of duty.

9/ That sounds bleak. But we can always prevent the worst. We must listen to the science - and demand action.

5/ We've already crossed 6 of 9 planetary boundaries for a safe planet. This isn't theory - it's where we are now.

One wonders what the RSPB’s priorities are regarding the climate crisis when each issue of the magazine devotes up to 7 pages to adverts for high-carbon holidays aimed mainly at a generation who has already consumed more than its fair share of the global carbon budget.

The climate crisis is mentioned regularly.
But if you don’t explain why time is running out, why tipping points in the Earth system matter, and why carbon budgets matter, any sense of urgency is lost and the climate crisis becomes just another topic that can conveniently be left for another day.

The RSPB Magazine hasn’t published a single page on carbon budgets and tipping points in the last six years.
That is not one page out of the 2,400 pages that make up the 24 latest issues of the magazine sent quarterly to its 1.2 million members.
