Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

"How many people do you know who have gone bankrupt in the UK because of medical bills?"

Bernie Sanders on what happens if we lose the NHS 👇

@Chris_A_W Yes. One of the advantages of a daughter like mine is that even now as a teenager I get to read bedtime stories (with all the different voices)!

It feels like an opportune moment to bring this out again. 'If you think high-vis and helmets are the answer, your'e asking the wrong question'
There's also an old video that has very much stood the test of time.... https://t.co/nvHpzSJv6C

10 days ago I sent Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt a letter (below) asking him to postpone the govt's 20% increase in energy bills on 1 April.

Since, SEVENTY major charities (below), & the energy industry trade body have signed up to support the letter.

IF YOU SUPPORT THE CALL PLS RT

We have the most expensive energy in Europe, the most expensive train fares, the dirtiest rivers, the leakiest pipes, the most expensive mail…

The difference is Privatisation.

Paris just announced plans to ban private cars in the city centre.

Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. Congestion is not inevitable, pollution is not inevitable, climate chaos is not inevitable.

I’ve now applied for a Postal Vote. I have no photo ID, spread the word, it’s free unlike getting photo ID.

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

We are dismayed, disappointed, and deeply concerned. UK Gov has just approved the use of a banned pesticide so powerful; a single teaspoon could kill 1.25 billion bees. This is a huge mistake. If we want to #DefendNature we must #SayNoToNeonics. 👉

Many blue plaques have appeared this weekend by waterways across Newark and Sherwood reading: “Robert Jenrick MP voted against reducing the dumping of raw sewage in our rivers. Demand change now."
I've found two already! Love it! #dirtywater

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

It’s curious, Nadhim Zahawi will never stand trial for £3.7m fraud.

How Michelle Mone never will for £133.6m fraud.

How no one will be prosecuted for £14.9bn PPE fraud.

Yet if you shoplift £10 of stuff from the supermarket you will be straight to court even if you give it back

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

RT if you agree this is disgraceful.
