'Blaming the [Paris Agreement] for inadequacies in global climate action is akin to a bad driver blaming their car for a crash. A better car is not the answer: getting better at driving is.' - @guilanpour

@TiceRichard @ClimateRealists Did they all arrive last week?

[Will Worley @willrworley]

Anneliese Dodds is here, again, described as 'Minister for Women and Equalities'

No reference to the humanitarian/int'l development/aid role she also holds - which UK NGOs hoped would be championed by a Labour Govt

This is what the CLIMATE VOTE looks like:

💚4 seats for Greens!
❌18 out of 23 Tory net zero sceptics lost their seats
👏36 of 51 Blue Wall seats flipped from Tory to Lib Dem & Labour, with climate & nature as key issues

Voters are CRYING OUT for a green & prosperous future.

Surely this needs to spark a Saudi shift at global #climate talks - how can their diplomats still pretend climate driven extreme heat is not lethal after this?

[WFP Media @WFP_Media]

On the sidelines of the #WFP Executive Board meeting, we're thrilled to co-host with @FAO, @IFAD & #COP28 + #COP29 Presidency:

"Partnering to scale up climate actions in fragile and conflict-affected situations—zooming in on food security."

If Starmer is elected on today’s manifesto, he’ll have a mandate for a quietly bold agenda on climate: double onshore wind, double insulation investment, triple solar, quadruple offshore wind. Stop new oil & gas licenses. End new petrol, diesel vehicle sales by 2030.

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

Very eye-opening to see who's leading the way on clean energy investment – and who's leading on fossil fuels

China: Clean energy investment 3.7x fossil fuels
Europe: 5.5x more in clean energy
N America: Biggest investor in fossil fuels
Middle East: 5.4x more on fossil fuels

RISHI SUNAK HAS CALLED A GENERAL ELECTION FOR 4 JULY.

It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Whatever you do, don't visit the https://t.co/UFBFVt4XtD website
to find out how to vote tactically to wipe out the Tories. And DON'T share this!

[The Spectator @spectator]

'There are serious issues at stake in this general election, and the Tories have just released nonsense figures with fake attribution and given it to newspapers who took it on trust. I’m really not sure that this will help their chances very much.'
