Putin wants to jail for up to 5 years after 3 protests without the authorised permission.
Patel wants to jail you for up to 10 years for a noisy protest.
I'm working my way thru the new @IPCC_CH report (released today) & the changes & threats documented in it are so stunning that I have to pause & walk away every couple of pages to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

UN Secret.Gen. António Guterres: "People see through the smoke screen. The present global energy mix is broken. Continued reliance on fossil fuels makes the global economy & energy security vulnerable to geopolitical schocks & crisis. Delay means Death."

Scientists ring alarm bells & damn incremental, siloed climate action. Delay means death. Every second counts and every degree matters. The crisis is already here. #IPCCReport https://t.co/WQqaxK5PFa
'According to the UN Development Programme, the world spends more than $420bn (£313bn) a year subsidising non-renewable energy.'
I read a good analogy on this... If you find yourself in a massive hole, the first thing you should do is stop digging!

I watched this last night. And again this morning. And I’ve finally worked out why it feels like such a landmark speech.
It’s not just the articulacy of @RhonddaBryant’s words. It’s the rare silence he’s afforded by his fellow MPs. Chilling.
Just watched "Joe Lycett Vs The Oil Giant" on Channel 4.

Well done @joelycett Great work! Shell are one of the biggest polluters on the planet! and one of the best at Greenwashing!
Tell the truth Shell! Stop Greenwashing!

So far the PM has made a speech about James Bond, done a car crash interview about cutting tax on domestic flights and new coal, fallen asleep, and announced he’s flying back to London tomorrow.
Planet saved.

Finally @BBCr4today are interviewing scientists who tell it as it is. Thank you @KevinClimate for highlighting once again that all pledges to reach Net zero are relying on technologies that do not exist.
One thing @BorisJohnson and the UK government could to at #COP26 is make taking the train actually affordable! Thus becoming the easier and better option. Rather than cutting the cost of flights. Facepalm #Budget2021
In tonight’s @EveningStandard, an article about COP26 climate talks is accompanied by an advert for a cruise liner.
The largest cruise ships can have a carbon footprint greater than 12,000 cars. #COP26#ClimateEmergency
When Boris Johnson says he's serious about the climate emergency, remember he backs:
- New North Sea oil field
- New Cumbria coal mine
- New Mozambique gas project (funded with £835 million of public money)
- Slashing tax on domestic flights
- Subsidies for fossil fuel industry
