Until climate “sceptics” r ignored by media & politicians & left howling into the void they must be publicly embarrassed every time they produce this nonsense.

No article talking up estimated cost of net-0 should be publishable without an estimate of the cost of not.

[James Murray @James_BG]

Proper thread about this morning’s genuinely scandalous report attacking the switch to EVs. Would add to my blog today that we can afford to ignore climate sceptics when reports as bad as this don’t get credulous media coverage and political backing. https://t.co/ZRsXQYWT05

In 2012 I pointed out that Dieter Helm was "killing the wrong pig": it was far riskier for the UK to depend on gas than on wind. He was furious! A year later we met on a panel, he brought a print-out and wanted a fight. I was right, but he was knighted.🤷🏻 https://t.co/50QLjox6xA

Straight talk from @Noahpinion

[Carne Ross @carneross]

The Green Party condemns the recent Russian missile attacks in Ukraine. It is particularly heinous to target hospitals for children. This horrific act and warcrime remind us that we must continue to support Ukraine in defending itself and removing the Russian invaders. For @TheGreenParty

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

As in all cases, either our values or our positions can remain unchanged, but not both. Consistently defending our values - such as opposition to imperialism, fascism and wars of aggression - means being ready to alter our assessments as the nature of these threats changes.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

With great discomfort, I find myself open to arguments for rearmament. I now believe we need to enhance our conventional capabilities, both to support other European nations against Russia and – something that seemed unimaginable a few years ago – perhaps to defend ourselves.
