@magrait@DrAlexFord@xanthaleatham I have also been doing this for years, seems a better way to wash, and save water at the same time. It beggars belief that anyone would argue against it. Does woke just mean being sensible and not lazy?
If you’re campaigning to end Net Zero in 2026, then you’re either utterly corrupt or utterly stupid.
No intelligent species having developed the technology to power itself with cleaner, safer and ultimately more sustainable energy, would voluntarily choose to keep poisoning the very environment it depends on.
The objective of every intelligent civilisation should be obvious: survive, prosper and maximise its long-term future.
Clean energy serves that goal. Fossil fuels don’t.
Fossiel fuels are dirtier, noisier, they damage human health, they pollute our air and water, they leave nations strategically dependent on finite resources and unstable regimes.
We only continue to use them, contrary to science, medicine, and our long-term economic interests, because of centuries of money, lobbying, greed and political corruption.
Climate scientists warned us decades ago where we were heading. Those warnings weren’t fantasy. They were projections based on evidence, and today all those warnings have become reality.
The greatest failure of humanity isn’t that we lacked the intelligence to move beyond fossil fuels. It’s that we allowed greed to overpower that intelligence.
'No one wants to be right about this’: Climate change scientists’ horror and exasperation as predictions play out.
"It’s as if the human race has received a terminal medical diagnosis and knows there is a cure, but has consciously decided not to save itself."

There are areas in national life which are so fundamental they demand cross-party support. Climate change is one. Another brave Telegraph writer calls out Badenoch’s dangerous stance. Badenoch must pull back from the brink before she destroys the Tories https://t.co/OimbaJDMEn
You can watch the forests of the world literally sucking the CO₂ out of the air each day (the dark patches are areas of lower CO₂, lighter is higher)... and we're hacking them down and letting them burn.
@CharlesDagnall My pet peeve is when commentators say the "run rate is creeping up" when meaning run rate required. They're different things, you can't miss off required!
Ya no son previsiones, modelos, teorías... es la realidad.
Vamos a vivir un El Niño como no se ha visto otro en la historia medida.
Lo increíble que es esta gráfica solo se ve superado por lo increíble que es que prácticamente ningún "medio de comunicación" la sacará.
Climate denial 2000: The climate isn't changing. It's just weather.
Climate denial 2010: Ok, the planet is warming but that's just sun activity. Nothing to do with us.
Climate denial 2015: Ok, human activity may play a part, but don't plants like carbon? Anyway cold is a bigger killer.
Climate denial 2020: Ok, maybe growing climate instability is bad news. But leave it to the billionaires to find a solution.
Climate denial 2026: Ok, it's getting a lot hotter but it's too late to do anything. We'll just have to adapt.
@WarwickshireCCC Do not get the hype with Tariq at all -illegal action and just a bit rubbish it seems. Embarrassing. Lintott miles better, and he could bat.
You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
