Radical speech by another #woke activist, tree-hugger & hippy

Calling for #degrowth of the #fossilfuelindustry

Her name is #MargaretThatcher, its 1989 @UN

She is #PrimeMinister of the UK and Leader, @Conservatives

We ignored her & arrived at a #ClimateAndEcologicalEmergency

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

FACTCHECK: GB News owner Paul Marshall seems to dislike Christian leaders criticising his channel's attacks on climate action, so he made a rare public intervention

But his letter to the Guardian (pic) makes 25 false, misleading or confused claims (!)

We advocated with united voices for planned responsible #transition ... but faced #regulatorycapture on a widely publicised scale.

Now researchers are warning of a #viciouscycle ahead.

[Green_Chidi 🌐+💚+⚖=🌍 @ChidiObihara]

Our institutions can still acknowledge the public interest. .. but only if they limit the unalloyed determined short term private interests that are taking us to the brink.

@BellRibeiroAddy Outstanding and profoundly important...

In these days of overt #regulatorycapture... policy makers should be judged on their ability to speak up for the least powerful members of society...

Well done @BellRibeiroAddy

If we reach 1.5°C, this is what is going to happen:

‼️Every fraction of a degree matters—beyond 1.5°C, the risks and damages from extreme weather, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss increase dramatically.

No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

[COP Climate Action Plan @Cop26P]

What does #JPMorgan think about #ClimateRisk?
It sees a constant decline in GDP? 30% anyone? 50%?
Are economists still working on #Nordhaus's ideas because it shows them what the want to see?
My oh my, what could possible go wrong? @ProfSteveKeen

@hausfath Congratulations... the @IPCC_CH process needs as much help as it can get. Good luck

#NetZeroSavesMoney

It doesn't cost the earth.

Quite the opposite in fact.

The world's clean-energy investments are now twice as large as those in fossil fuels, the latest IEA data shows

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

Misinformation: A Telegraph guide

1️⃣Find apparently shocking stat: EV fires "up 77%" 😱
2️⃣Always round up ("nearly double")🤔
3️⃣Downplay context: There are 105% more EVs🙉
4️⃣Sideline wider truth: EV fires 5-6x *less* likely🙊
5️⃣Add quote to cover yourself🙈

[Green_Chidi 🌐+💚+⚖=🌍 @ChidiObihara]

@coinbase There really needs to be regulatory reviews of the information management systems of this firm. @TheFCA should be involved... as a public policy imperative to protect customers.

Or class action by past and present victims...

Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970.

A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes.

It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:

New Pope Leo "is outspoken about the need for urgent action on climate change", says the College of Cardinals Report

"He aligns closely with Pope Francis’ environmental priorities."

A 63% decline in flying insects in just 3 years.

WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT INSECTS.

A sane society would be doing EVERYTHING in its power to reverse our unprecedented biodiversity loss.

Instead we’re led by growth-obsessed psychopaths intent on hastening it.

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

Heat waves are scorching Pakistan & India, with temps nearing 50°C in places. Outdoor work is nearly impossible in these brutal conditions. Experts warn that in the next 20 years, temperatures in the region could push beyond human survivability. 🌡️

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The increasingly catastrophic situation in Sudan, as illustrated by the recent events in Zamzam camp, is appalling.

I call on the international community to act with urgency to help bring an end to the relentless suffering and destruction.

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

FACTCHECK: Almost all the headlines on Tony Blair / net-zero are *wildly* inaccurate

REALITY:

1️⃣Net-zero is *only way* to stop warming
2️⃣Blair calls for tech to "turbocharge our path to net-zero"
3️⃣He categorically *does not* say "net-zero is doomed to fail"
