Thanks to @garylineker & @IanWright0, somebody is currently trying to explain to Tory donor, Boris Johnson loan facilitator & Boris Johnson-nominated chairman of the BBC, Richard Sharp, what ‘integrity’, ‘honesty’ & ‘solidarity’ are.
💬 “We need to super tax the oil and gas industry and use the proceeds to help fund a mass insulation programme and renewable energy revolution.
This would both cut energy bills and help the UK meet its legal obligations on cutting emissions.”

it's very exhausting to see white people write articles about how it's "too late" to stop climate breakdown - too late for who??? Every single fraction of a degree of warming we prevent is lives saved - especially in the Global South. It's never too late.
The idea that we can "overshoot" 1.5 C and then reverse ecological damage later with carbon dioxide removal is not empirical science, but capitalist ideology, which claims, falsely, that any negative externality of growth is temporary and can be overcome by innovation.
I’ve another question . If someone was to calculate what the real cost of our energy is/will be , and we allowed for a reasonable profit for shareholders/investors , what would actually happen if we all only paid that amount & didn’t pay the greedy excess ? How big is the jail ?
RT if you want to see CEOs in the media studios explaining how the hell they justify billions in profit, hundreds of millions to shareholders, millions into their own pockets, massive price hikes for customers and handing scraps to workers.
BT made £1.3bn, gave £750m to shareholders and the CEO got £3.5m.
We have members using foodbanks.
Today BT announced £400m profit for 1/4 year.
Tomorrow our members strike for the first time since 1987 and have been subjected to extreme intimidation.
RT if you back them.
It was in April - May 2022 in India & Pakistan. The extreme #heatwave a LST collected on April 29 shows max value exceeding 62°C/143°F. The world was silent because it was in global south.
Now the world seems wake up when Europe now hit with 42⁰C /107.6⁰F.
