@BladeoftheS In a free society Hypocrisy on a public platform cannot (?) be criminalised but media etc should be required to guarantee transparency with obligation to display assets sponsors etc
@ECOWARRIORSS Not checked but understand that atmospheric CO2 impacts for >100 years - CH4 only 10-20 years. Until back down to 350ppm or less Earths Energy Imbalance from net forcing maintained so carry on WARMING till outgoing IR radiation balances but at +3 4 8 or >C but without most of us
بريطانيون يودعون الرئيس كير ستارمر الذي أعلن استقالته بهذه اللافتة الكبيرة:
"إسرائيل تملك الحق لقطع الطعام والماء والكهرباء عن 2 مليون شخص في غزة - كير ستارمر".
ستلاحقكم هذه المواقف المخزية مدى الحياة!
@ClimateDad77@pmagn But while $trillions of proven or potentially extractable fossil fuel reserves unlikely those who could profit from selling it will be altruistic enough to strand it - despite criticism exception seems to be China & even weirder Trump & Putin’s wars destroying fields may help!!
@implausibleblog I care that the “Clive Garages” of this world can exploit genuine dissatisfaction of millions betrayed by half century of failed (for them) deregulation privatisation & dismantling of systems to enable unchecked insatiable now wealth acquisition by individuals & corporations
@andycorneys Somehow politicians & their financial corporate sponsors convinced people that net zero is optional - until achieved we carry on ACCELERATING towards inevitable collisions with physical realities - NEED NET NEGATiVE now EMERGENCY BREAKING- as NO fire/ambulance at our crash
As emissions rise so does the wealth of the billionaires, someone needs to stop them, both need to fall & rapidly if we’re to survive. The media & politicians will be forced to acknowledge the truth soon, millions if we’re lucky, billions if we’re not, are about to die, >50million people died in the 1877 El Niño & I hate to think how much energy we’ve added to the planet since then & what the consequences of that massive global energy imbalance will be particularly in, but not limited to, the tropics where the Wet Bulb effect will come into play due to the higher humidity. Even if we get away with it this time, sadly some major consequences are inevitable. Suffice to say we either solve this climate emergency or we’re dead meat. The truth is we’re on the brink, if we fail & we are failing, to act as a species & achieve net zero, we’ll be watching billions die as exceeding the tipping points causes the planets ecosystem to collapse & we’re literally a gnats cock away from that collapse. Once we’ve reached net zero we’ll have to reduce GHG levels in our atmosphere. That’s what the science says, we ignore it at our peril & that of every species on earth 🌍. It’s do or die time!
@shiels_aaron@BladeoftheS@Jef58Egil When I was child top marginal rate of tax was 92.5% then cut in steps to 40% by 1990 on promise of Trickle Down instead national & global evidence actually generated vacuum up of wealth while clever accounting enabled rich to reduce their tax below poorest & seize everything
@BladeoftheS Extreme wealth iself perpetuating just like extreme poverty - only difference is compound interest of wealthy few drives millions into extreme poverty - the poor then struggle on to an early death harming no one the extreme wealthy de facto killing them like real life dragons
This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail.
He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French.
While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere.
That is his ‘Patriotism’.
Hey, the government is letting a few greedy fishing companies overfish our UK waters, destroying marine life and local fishers’ livelihoods. Join me and sign the urgent petition to fight back: https://t.co/DgsILplYN7
People say Andy Burnham has an impossible task because he must keep the Billionaire Media and the Far Right happy.
No he doesn't, in fact he should enrage them, there are far more people who hate the system and who are happy to see billionaires poorer and THEIR lives better.
A red weather warning has been issued for some parts of the country. We need the rules to keep us all safe at work. Please sign the petition for a maximum working temperature. https://t.co/RF2KsIj67S via @megaphoneuk
“I'm well aware of the definition of genocide, and that is why I've never referred to this as genocide…”
Keir Starmer in November 2024.
Close to 50,000 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza by this point.
Yet he chose genocide denial.
Never forget.
UK temperatures will reach a high of 38 C and there is a 25% chance that it could get as hot as 40C
The heat is unprecedented for mid June
Normally temp records are broken by a fraction of a degree but this time its over a few degrees
https://t.co/0Tei97Azjf
Another record breaking #heatwave bakes #Europe. Temps will reach 45C / 113F in #France under the #heatdome. 1000s of records expected. Here’s a look at the day by day #heatwave forecast in degrees C and F. Europe is the fastest warming continent, warming twice as fast as the global average and record heatwaves are increasing fast on the continent.
Keir Starmer resigns as Prime Minister.
UK to get fifth PM in a decade.
First Past the Post system means that most of the country didn't vote for the ruling party. So, opposition is baked in.
Don't be swayed by personality politics. Need as leader with emancipatory policies.
It’s The Royal Courts of Injustice. Having watched them in action I can honestly say that the justice system just lacks justice, integrity, impartiality & honesty. I spent 2 days & saw the courts stitch up 16 peaceful, old & young protesters at their appeals. Justice was absent!
Let’s check in to see what the climate change deniers have to say.
Oh, it’s just summer they’ll say. It isn’t.
A normal heatwave they’ll claim. It isn’t.
We’re destroying our planet and ignoring the consequences. Utterly unreal. 🤬
