Dear people who STILL "don't believe in climate change": You should be against the fossil fuel industry, anyway. New Harvard study (below) estimates 1 in 5 global deaths due to fossil fuel air pollution. Fossil fuel CEOs are actual mass murderers

The UN picked Sultan Al Jabar to preside over COP28, one of the worst two choices out of 8.1 billion humans, the other being Exxon CEO Darren Woods

The actions taken by @LicypriyaK shown in this video are just so remarkably brave and incredibly, terribly sad.

The Tories say the British people want the Rwanda scheme. The Tories say the British people don't want a general election...

Retweet if you are sick of the Tories lying about what you want.

[Christian Silk @ChristianSilk43]

#yes

[Leroy Skeete @LeroySkeete]

Gary Lineker has called for Rwanda scheme to be scrapped

Do you agree with him?

The protest at COP28 by Licypriya Kangujam, a 12-year-old climate-justice activist from India, leads the frontpage of the Financial Times

Neatly illustrates why these stunts can have so much impact

Will be one of the defining images of this COP

🚨BREAKING: Former BP chief Lord Browne declares that Rishi Sunak’s decision to expand North Sea drilling is “not going to make any difference” to Britain’s energy security.

If BP’s influential former chief executive is saying this, why isn't the government listening?

WILL YOU GIVE THE NATURAL WORLD A GIFT THIS CHRISTMAS?

Yesterday was Nature Day at COP28. XR Oxford was out on Broad Street with Nellie the Elephant, encouraging Christmas shoppers to consider what they can give to the environment. Read more here: https://t.co/avhqEmW9jf

Population isn’t the problem. In fact population growth is slowing.

Western lifestyles are the problem. Consuming life & Earth’s resources like the planet’s an all-you-can-eat-buffet, meaning b 2040 all man-made stuff will be 3 TIMES the mass of every living thing on the planet.

[Dr. William J. Ripple @WilliamJRipple]

Livestock accounts for almost 2/3rds of global mammal biomass. Cattle weigh almost ten times as much as all wild mammals. At COP28 climate meetings, there is little action on the massive amounts of methane from four billion ruminant livestock https://t.co/pErHRnGohH @ExtinctionR

This week EXTREME HEAT has

Killed 170 people in India

Killed 8 people in Mexico

Caused the worst WILDFIRES Canada has ever recorded

Caused the HOTTEST ever marine heatwave off the coast of UK

The climate crisis is here, now. Government’s need to WAKE UP.

For another way of looking at the ongoing North Atlantic sea surface temperature spike, here are the temperatures of the North Atlantic on the Summer solstice, June 21, for every year 1982-2023.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Net Zero Watch spreads deeply dangerous climate denial & delay. Shameful that Tory MPs like Andrea Jenkyns, whose party could be about to approve climate-wrecking #Rosebank, are at the heart of it. Time to kick dirty fossil fuel interests out of politics.

If you think Just Stop Oil protests against a doubling of motors on the road to 41 million in 30 years is 'disruptive', you're going to hate global warming induced mass heatwave deaths, food shortages, water shortages, and uncontrollable mass migration.
