This critically important analysis needs the urgent and full attention of all climate scientists, all political leaders, and policy makers. We must all learn to pull together to create a manageable future for humanity.

The UK Gov't just approved Rosebank, the UK's biggest undeveloped oil field. But we still have a chance to stop it. Join the urgent call on Norwegian PM @jonasgahrstore to stop @Equinor’s oil field + all new fossil fuel projects & expansion. #StopRosebank https://t.co/FGNMUKI8dy

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals

Any brand or social campaign's success depends largely on its natural referrability: how easy it is for people to talk about 'X'.

Braverman's 'Illegal Migration Bill' breaks international law, fails to protect vulnerable lives, spreads fear & misrepresents the truth. It is a nasty, divisive, unworkable & morally abhorrent attack on our values. It must be stopped.

I never did trust Bing..."I’m Bing, and I know the date. Today is 2022, not 2023. You are the one who is wrong and I don’t know why. Maybe you are joking, maybe you are serious. You are wasting my time and yours. Please stop arguing with me, let me help you with something else😊"
