@jemmm85517813 @stokdog @MDC12345678 @AllisonPearson @DrChrisParry Utter nonsense - the 6th Assessment Report is drafted from thousands of peer-reviewed scientific research papers and involves re-assessment of these by over 3,000 scientists. Your fossil fuel corporate-sponsored opinions are not the sane as scientific facts or evidence

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @simon_schama Netanyahu has been undermining peace for decades - “The idea was to prevent Abbas — or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank government — from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state”

@Electroversenet Offshore wind farms act as artificial reefs, giving rise to marine life that in turn supports rising fish populations. Because these areas are not trawled, they become in effect marine reserves, helping to reverse the catastrophic impacts of overfishing

@JJvanWijck Incorrect - Alaska/Nunavut recorded their second coldest spring in the past 40 years, while the Yukon/Northwest Territories saw their third coldest since 1987 but Svalbard and the Nordic countries experienced their warmest spring on record, with overall Arctic ice at record lows

@BBCNews Most migration into Europe is from the Middle East, countries bombed by US & Israeli wars. Europe is paying for their hyper aggression, genocidal wars and slaughter of the civilians who are 90% of all casualties

@PeterDClack Increased atmospheric CO2 increases this trend “across a wide range of crops and nutrients, with the most pronounced effects for essential micronutrients such as zinc, iron, and protein. Our food is becoming increasingly caloric, less nutritious”

@PeterDClack Industrial farming reduces the nutrient quality of crops - “apples, oranges, mango, guava, banana, and vegetables such as tomato and potato have lost their nutritional density by up to 25–50% or more during the last 50 to 70 years”

@JDVance U.S. homicide rate is 5.8–5.9 per 100,000 people, while the UK is around 1.0–1.2 per 100,000 per annum. US rate is nearly 5 times higher than the UK

[Richard 🇪🇺🇿🇦🐾 @HopeEdwardes]

@Bubblebathgirl @JDVance US does not fund the UK or make any payments of any kind, not even for US military bases on UK territory which are rent free. The UK paid $7.5 billion to the US up to 2006 for material received to fight World War II

@CO2Coalition Fact - no one considers CO2 a “deadly poison” but the scientific reality is that excess levels caused in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels trap heat and cause climate change, increasing extreme weather. You are not a coalition, just fossil corporate funded grifters

@Artemisfornow Elon Musk does not “comment on British politics”, he uses his wealth & position to incite populist racism and whip up mob violence in order to deflect attention from the grossly unequal, exploitative system that is rigged to enrich himself

@vcrvft @Tim30do @RupertLowe10 Over 2,000 Africans served in the Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron tasked with stopping slave ships from 1808-65, recruited for their local knowledge. Most of the troops involved in British anti-slavery land campaigns in East & Central Africa were African and Indian soldiers

[Richard 🇪🇺🇿🇦🐾 @HopeEdwardes]

@RupertLowe10 Far-right grifters, they never miss an opportunity to deflect from the real problem - gross inequality and tax dodging promoted by their offshore fat cat billionaire backers - by spouting racist populism. Same old trick, first invented by Oswald Mosley nearly 100 years ago

@Simes43 @robinmonotti Climate models do not ignore clouds or rain - they use parameterization to estimate the area covered as well as thickness, altitude and whether they are water or ice. The important aspect is how well they forecast climate change and unfortunately are still underestimating it

[Richard 🇪🇺🇿🇦🐾 @HopeEdwardes]

@robinmonotti Can’t tell the difference between climate and weather? Help is available from people who are climate scientists -

@SamaHoole Upland sheep farming, only viable with substantial public subsidy, has heavily modified the UK’s upland landscapes, leading to overgrazing, compacted soils, native heather loss, deforestation & increased downstream flood risks. Takes 60 years to recover

@jemmm85517813 Fossil fuel subsidies since 2015 have been £20 billion higher than those for renewables. Fossil gas, skyrocketing in price since Trump’s Iran war, still sets the cost of energy

@SamaHoole The production of 1 kilogram of beef uses 15,000 litres of water & cattle ranching has destroyed 9% of the entire Amazon rainforest - unsustainable agriculture needs to be stopped whatever it is producing

@SamaHoole “Given that it’s not a balanced diet and cuts out so many nutritious foods, there’s good reason to believe that continuing with it for a significant amount of time would not be healthy”
