Wildlife expert @ChrisGPackham says the PMs assertion that we are "on track" to meet our net zero target by 2050 is "a lie".
"We are not in line to meet any of these targets," he adds.

This is a good thread. Not long ago - around the time Nick Griffin appeared on Question Time, for example - views and associations like Farage's would have been viewed as much more toxic than they are in Brexit Britain. (Obviously, this isn't a coincidence...)
Sunak will use a trip to Scotland to confirm 100 gas & oil licences
It takes 5 yrs from a find until oil & gas is produced from a field
It takes 6 mnths to build onshore wind farms & the energy is up to 11 times cheaper than oil & gas
The solutions are there, the will isn’t.
this week has been a good example of how oppositions can shift the debate with a focused communications strategy: Labour spent a few days attacking its own clean air policy for no reason and now the government is moving into the political space created
BREAKING: we just fully took over a fundraiser for Joe Biden's reelection campaign. The billionaires bolted.
The President just approved a 2,000,000,000 cubic-foot-per-day fracked gas pipeline in the midst of a climate emergency. This was not a compromise. This was a crime.
How serious a threat is climate change?
A serious global threat that is out of control 25%
A serious global threat but there is still time to deal with it 52%
A global threat but not one of the most serious 9%
Not a very serious global threat 5%
Not a global threat at all 7%
Powerful words from @UofGSHW colleague @DrJasonLang 🙏 Please let's enable everyone to be the person that they are, free from the fear of being judged or criticised. Masking or hiding is painful & exhausting 😢 #Neurodiversity#InvisibleDisabilities
Let's talk about climate change and how it may effect the UK.
Let's start with some basic geography.
London is pretty far north. In fact, it's on the same latitude as Kyiv, Warsaw, & Winnipeg.
Edinburgh shares its latitude with Moscow.

These are not thinking people; they are cyphers spouting the weekly line, just as they always have. This week, this message: Tice, Ridley, Frost etc all parroting it - Telegraph, Spectator, GBnews, Express - wherever will take it. Now: the Lords. Paid living bots. Embarrassing.
For decades the Daily Mail & most media has played down the climate crisis - lied about the scale of disagreement amongst scientists, underplayed the urgency and overplayed the difficulties of getting off this suicidal path. Now we are here. I hate them with a passion #rhodesfire
Two front page headlines today. This says all you need to know about Govt’s total disconnection from climate reality. Green pledges don’t need watering down, but ramping up in speed & scale, investing in a liveable future & taking everyone along with us. He’s failing miserably.
