@LibDems There was also a glaring hole in green investment.
The net zero economy is one of the fastest growing areas of UK business, but clearly does not have the backing of the Conservative Party!
Records are falling from Colombia to Bolivia, GUYANA missed the March national record by 0.2C at Lethem with 37.0C.
Nearly every single country in Oceania and tropical Asia and Africa broke records in just 6 days
We are seeing something totally unprecedented in world climatology.
In awe of the achievements at the @edie sustainability awards and to have met @CarolineLucas, even if it was for only a second… sorry for ambushing you Caroline.
Congratulations on the lifetime achievement, you are an inspiration!
The economic benefits of green policy don’t get enough attention.
The narrative is so often that sustainability is wishy washy and that concessions will have to be made to accommodate it.
But the truth is, it is the greatest economic opportunity of our time.
Directly or indirectly, everyone will benefit.
Air pollution claims the lives of over 7 million people a year 🤯
Even when you can’t see it, the air the we breathe, particularly in large cities, can have severe health implications.
But efforts to address the issue have fallen short.
This is a global health crisis.
🌳Deforestation from palm oil is on the rise again…
🛢️In 2023 Indonesia lost over 30,000 hectares of forest to palm oil production
🏟️That’s an area larger than 55,000 football pitches!
🦧The damage done to ecosystems threatens the lives of thousands of species, including these amazing monkeys.
🎬What are you doing to help?
@nytimes Both these candidates are outdated and neither represent the country’s best interests.
Only shows that the electoral system in the states is broken and relies too much on how many rich people you know.
Feeling anxious about climate change?
You’re not alone.
Research shows that 59% of young people are now very or extremely worried about climate change.
The helplessness people feel in the climate crisis is affecting our day-to-lives.
We need to talk about it more.
Who doesn’t love polar bears?
They’ve become a symbol of #ClimateChange but how much longer do they have?
No sea ice means no food, and polar bears are now at severe at risk of starvation and extinction.
There are only 26000 left across the world.

@PaulRobEsq@SebWrites@GOP You’re all fart, no poo.
Block me, I think you owe me that much at this point.
I know logic can be intimidating. Sometimes blocking is just the easiest way to preserve your echo chamber 😜
@PaulRobEsq@SebWrites@GOP You only seem to have abstract commentary, which doesn’t help anyone.
Shame on me for thinking we could have a constructive conversation.
This is dull…
@PaulRobEsq@SebWrites@GOP These questions have answers!
The fact that those are the questions that you’re still unsure about shows you don’t know what you’re talking about and actually makes this a waste of time.
Try reading beyond a headline!
Joking aside, I am genuinely interested in your opinion now.
I think our common ground is that I agree 2050 is fairly arbitrary. It’s a nice round number is more or less it’s only significance.
Where I’m sure we don’t agree is that I think the net zero goal should be much sooner because of when we may cross planetary boundaries.
To me the two examples you give are both short term, Solar Cycles fluctuate but 25 started in 2019 and the eruption in 2022 (I’m sure they did/do have a slight impact on temperature) yet we can track a steady global temperature rise since the beginning of the 1900s. So how do you reconcile that? Again genuinely interested.
While I agree that the narrative is almost exclusively put on human activity, I think this is for good reason. The natural cycles and activity of the sun, and earth are not things we can control. The goal is to reduce ‘human induced climate change’ starting during the Industrial Revolution - the thing we can control and show is having an impact on atmospheric carbon concentrations.
So I don’t agree that the focus should be on natural activity because we’ve demonstrated that carbon comes from human activity, it’s impacting temperatures, and it’s within our control to change it.
Interested to know your thoughts and why?
Also in terms of sacrifices to the government, what do you think you’ll have to sacrifice?
@PaulRobEsq@SebWrites@GOP A man with experience! You must be a big hit with the ladies.
I’m still stuck on what your objections are? You don’t believe climate science? Don’t think humans are having an impact on the planet?
Where does it breakdown for you?
