I love birds. My youngest daughter is named Raven, thanks to a particular fascination I have with corvids.
This week, the potential future of the great tit has been in the news, after the story broke that this distinctive bird is in danger of extinction due to the impacts of climate change. According to a new study the great tit, which has the scientific name Parus major, is at risk due to unusually warm temperatures devastating the species’ food sources.
It seems like every week another unfortunate creature is added to the endangered species list, and indeed scientists speculate that global warming could wipe out one-third of all animal and plant life by 2070. That’s a lot of life, in my daughter’s lifetime.

I’ve been a climate activist for over two decades. The story of my exit from Extinction Rebellion to campaign for nuclear energy is well known by now, but ultimately it came from the desire reflected by that group to ‘tell the truth’ about the climate emergency we are in. I care deeply about all life on this planet, and I also believe that any solutions we commit to policy must be evidence-led, rather than based on gut feelings or long-held ideologies. Climate action has been disappointingly slow for decades, and we cannot afford to waste more time by making mistakes.
Searching for science-based solutions has led me down an unexpected path. I was anti-nuclear for a long time, and did not change my mind about it overnight. It took years of thinking through arguments and considering data to shift my belief that nuclear power was bad.
It does not surprise me, then, to see the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) recently oppose the construction of the proposed Sizewell C nuclear power plant next to the Minsmere nature reserve. The RSPB claims the power station will harm wildlife, despite having no evidence to back up such an assertion, and in spite of the fact that wildlife on similar sites is doing just fine.
