Today I'm hoping @Keir_Starmer will stay and stand firm.

@RidgeandFrost @SophyRidgeSky @AlexJJNorris Delayed flights story, seems like a lot of whinging. Given the circumstances, dodging attacks, those being transported back to the UK, I would think they are very lucky to have their country extracting them from danger whilst dealing with all other aspects ts of war!

Sudan's conflict is one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. With credible evidence the UAE provides military and financial support to the Rapid Support Forces, one of the warring parties. I sign for UAE to stop now. https://t.co/X5AqcxaLcw

So tiring listening to @SkyNews banging on about manifesto in the budget. It's clear that circumstances and priorities have changed dramatically in the last year. Why are the media not discussing the real issues.

@ginarosebe @EssexPR Utter rubbish

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Doubling down on fossil fuels is absurd.

The clean energy revolution is here.

No group, no business, and no government can stop it.

Leaders at #COP29 can and must ensure it is fair and fast enough to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

[Adam Vaughan @adamvaughan_uk]

"2024 is virtually certain to be either the warmest or second-warmest year on record," at 1.5C above preindustrial level, writes @hausfath on @CarbonBrief

He says if 2024 heat ends like 2023, we might be entering "unchartered territory" for the climate

UN climate chief @simonstiell says:
- climate denial is "still very active"
- “next two years are essential in saving our planet”
- UK & rest of G20 must publish strong climate plans
- ordinary people need to pressure leaders to keep climate high up the political agenda

'Our climate activism comes from many places, from sadness and anger... But let's remember that in the midst of all of that, we are here because we worship a God of love,' @ruthvalerio, Director of Global Advocacy @Tearfund at the No Faith in Fossil Fuels Ash Wednesday service 👇

Today's challenge is fairly easy... but makes a significant difference #CleanEnergy #COP28 #AdventChallenge @B_ForThePlanet @OctopusEnergy

5th- Switch to a renewable energy provider
98.4% of Norway's energy is renewable-UK only 42%. The aim -100% renewable energy by 2030,switching today is the best step towards reducing CO2 https://t.co/K1ojh3wmeL #COP28 #EcoChallenge #CleanEnergy #CarbonFootprint #RenewableEnergy

End #FossilFuels fairly. Governments must be brave and not pander to the oil industries self preservation strategies. #COP28UAE @CPC_HQ @UKLabour @TheGreenParty @theclimateparty

[Tearfund Action @TearfundAct]

👉 We urgently need a commitment to a fair and funded phase out of ALL #FossilFuels and to usher in a renewable energy transition. It’s time for world leaders to end the era of fossil fuels if we’re to avert the worst of climate crisis and secure a safer, fairer future. [6/ 7]

[Karen Feakin @kfeakin]

Good work @TearfundAct

[Tearfund Action @TearfundAct]

🔥 But a pledge made by the oil and gas sector today is clearly hollow and has no accountability. 320 organisations, including Tearfund, signed a joint letter calling this out as a dangerous distraction. 👇[4/ 7]

[Tearfund Action @TearfundAct]

Today is the end of the World Climate Action Summit at #COP28. We’ve heard from many world leaders about the importance of #ClimateAction and in the energy announcements made today there have been good signals among some hollow distractions.🧵 [1/ 7]

We can make a difference to future #foodsecurity today #COP28

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

This is SO important 👇 The idea that nations are the only or even the primary actors when it comes to climate action is just not true. There is so much that can be done at every level and every voice counts.

Try 3 Veggie Days And a Vegan Meal Each Week. Meat production creates 60% of all Ghg emissions! Christmas is the perfect time to try out a few new recipes whilst securing food in the future. #Eco #Christmas #climatechange #sustainability #COP28📷 #foodsecurity #SustainableLiving

When we talk to our parliamentarians we say tackling the climate crisis and the unemployment crisis can be solved together - with good green jobs. Fred Njehu of @tearfund at the @faithpavilion #Cop28
