The fossil fuel drenched #COP28 really has NO CLOTHES NOW as its emperor Al Jaber attempts (?) to single handedly defy the @IPCC_CH , @IEA and countless others on #Climate#Science
This is 2023 #UAE, 31 years after 1992 #Rio - humanity sliding backward quickly😡
@ScientistsX
Cop28 president says there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels
Except the consensus of the world’s climate scientists, obviously 😡
Heavy use of climate denialist talking points like ‘taking us back into caves’ adds to worries https://t.co/yNdTGaA3iF

I’ve just been kicked out of this ‘private event’ - a lobby conference with @rishisunak about to start. I’ve been reporting on climate for 35 years so it’s possible I know more than most Pollcorrs. That’s why the environment corrs are left outside. @fionaharvey
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

There was a sad inevitability about this decision. The dysfunctional political system works in favour of the #fossilfools who can’t see beyond the money, whose imagination is so limited they’re unable to recognise another, better world is possible. #NoNewRoads#RebelForLife
After a summer of wildfire and floods, and records broken here in the UK, yesterday's announcement is barely fathomable. Future generations will ask why, after these stark signs, the government would put this country’s global leadership on climate change into reverse.
Fairness should absolutely be central to any change, but it is not fair that our children will have their future blighted by the poor decisions made today. It isn't fair that businesses that have invested heavily in pioneering green technologies and the jobs of tomorrow will have to put their plans on ice, nor that changes in policy endanger our much-loved cultural heritage and natural environment, undermining everything from food security to our health and wellbeing. And it isn't fair that the poorest in our society will lose out most in the future.
Progress towards Net Zero must be sustained, not kicked down the road for political expediency.
We urge the Prime Minister and his Government to rethink.
It’s two years since the High Court ruling that the govt’s decision to build the Stonehenge tunnel was unlawful. Tories hate ‘interference’ by the Courts, so let’s see what the High Court has to say about @Mark_J_Harper ‘s decision to green light it. https://t.co/qWvfF9SLFy
As wildfires blaze in Canada, the UK Govt think they are entitled to generate carbon with impunity from the £24bn roads programme - WATCH👇
