@WendtheWalker No

@MrDaveyWilliams Tiny reminder - those countries were invaded.

@RupertLowe10 A debate is certainly needed, but not with fists and firebombs

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@TheNorfolkLion How about the Premier League?

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@tlloydjones So far Starmer has taken swift action to protect UK citizens. I support that. If he changes the law so that free speech isn't possible, I'll be against him. I don't think he will, though.

@RealPeterClack Climate change is no hoax. It's real and needs action.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@latimeralder Climate change is a serious risk. It's sensible to reduce fossil fuel use by investments that are proportionate to the problem.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@PeterSweden7 Have you forgotten that we have elections here?

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@toadmeister There was a serious COVID problem until the virus mutated and became less dangerous. There is a serious climate problem.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@JackieD86388657 No, Starmer's not lost all credibility

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@PeterSweden7 You don't elect the government in a totalitarian state. Forget that?

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@TonyClimate @wef Global temperatures are rising, but it's not easy to predict local effects. That's why it's sensible to reduce fossil fuel use. Continued burning of fossil fuels is an irreversible experiment on our own children.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@Martin_Durkin I agree that censoring 'fake news' is dangerous. On the other hand deliberately stoking a riot is even more dangerous. It's a fine line, that's why we need careful laws and a justice system.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@JVinos_Climate There are natural cycles on which fossil fuel warming is imposed.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@ChrisMartzWX We need to make steady progress towards reducing fossil fuel use as technology improves.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@ChrisMartzWX I'm not a climate activist. It's sensible to reduce fossil fuel use. Getting to zero will be very hard, but every step on the way helps.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@ShantzShantz @MaineUltraMaga @wideawake_media No one is talking of less CO2. It's necessary to limit how much it increases, that's all.

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@toadmeister Other countries are making progress, including China. Like our progress it's slow, but it's generally in the right direction

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@AshleaSimonBF Not me

[John Shoesmith🇬🇧 @JohnShoe22]

@TonyClimate @BBCNews The BBC did not predict that. They simply reported a prediction by a US group. That's their job.
