@WhitleyAwards you’ll no doubt be delighted to see King Charles flying the Monarch Butterfly on his latest portrait. A happy coincidence … ? Or artful marketing? Either way, make the most of it !

Some brands have invested millions in something called carbon credits

They’re intended to help cancel out their pollution

But do they do it?

@implausibleblog If you don’t want to be quoted saying nasty sh*t like this; best not to say it in the first place @RishiSunak

@TedUrchin @APSchrader The East African Asian community that migrated to the UK came with their own historical baggage of institutionalised racism by immigrants towards Africans even when living in their own country. https://t.co/djiV1cUkYT

@TedUrchin @APSchrader They all have one thing in common. They were first immigrants to East Africa, where they thrived in colonial administration and business till post colonial policies prompted them to leave https://t.co/zbOls6ooFd

This is the #climatechange I’m referring to 👆… if you can read a graph, any rational person will realise it’s pretty damned serious.

[Professor Mark Maslin 👋 𝕏 @ProfMarkMaslin]

#ClimateChange is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions

We are causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes

We are taking Earth’s climate way beyond natural limits, with carbon dioxide and temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years

[James @James_Acworth]

Europe is burning; UK records wettest July on record. Both extremes exacerbated by #climatechange say scientists. The Brit response? Book a quick flight to the continent escape the UK rain and get a bit of sun. When will we learn? https://t.co/aIcJiBHYPA

[Chris W J Roberts @cwjroberts]

War in #Cameroon continues into its 6th year (2017-)! Efforts by Swiss (2019-2022) & Canadians (2022-) to facilitate process to end bloodshed have constantly been sidelined by President Biya's government. Why? No consequences for pursuing military option. https://t.co/UtAgRQ7b71
