This is hilarious. I was told during a short radio interview for my tour last week that I couldn’t talk about politics because they were in election purdah. But Sunak has a full hour on his own on a TV channel in the same week as the vote. Not that it will help him.
Why the hell isn't this headline news in Europe and other parts of the world, where the implications are catastrophic?
How can developments with the potential, likelihood even, to make life extremely difficult/impossible just be ignored by most media?
We're living in a madhouse
Please share this information because it is not being made clear...
1. The collapse of the Atlantic Ocean circulation (AMOC) will be the most devastating event in the last 10,000 years of human history.
2. It will happen overnight with sudden effects.
3. It will be irreversible and continue for 1000s of years.
4. It will destroy human civilisation because it will be impossible to grow food in northern Europe - temperatures would drop by 3.4°C. Enough to half the amount of land where you can grow wheat.
5. 100s of millions of Europeans will have to move or starve to death. Those that move will be subject to holocaust events created by warlords and/or fascistic regimes.
6. Coastal cities will have to be evacuated
7. Monsoons in the tropics will collapse, resulting in 100s of millions more refugees.
This is just the beginning - the collapse also will feed into other disastrous climate tipping points like the collapse of the Amazon rainforest. We are looking at billions of deaths and possible effective extinction this century - that now has to be the main concern.
Last but not least, the above scenario is a conservative prediction because it doesn't take into account the non-linear effects of other systems on the AMOC collapse date (e.g the collapse of ice cover in the Arctic, methane release, and mega forest fires).
Why is no one talking about this?
Why aren't there emergency conferences of Europe's farmers?
Why aren't the media going on strike till the government acts?
Why aren't there mass sit-downs in cities for weeks on end?
Because repressed scientists just say that it's "kind of scary" - like saying Auschwitz was "kinda of unpleasant".
The situation is totally fucked.
@bmay Reading that hateful deranged shite, I thought he did. Then I realised he’d have had to actually read it to begin with, and Donnie’s not a big reader.
@MrTomMcDermott Let‘s put it another way. Name a manager you think would have done better in the same circumstances, all the injuries, the takeover circus, the constant player discipline issues to sort, the Greenwood nonsense.
Ecuadorians JUST voted to end drilling in one of the Amazon's most biodiverse areas- but now their president wants to keep the oil flowing anyway! Join the Indigenous call to protect the Amazon: https://t.co/umiytspBeM
Trump made a clear and open threat to Britain's national security. We *were* attacked in Salisbury and with Litvinenko; our cables were likely cut by Russia: any Tory supporting Trump for president is undermining our security 👇🏽
@DavidHenigUK ‘Think the nations finances and public services are shit now? Wait until you vote us in next time, you ain’t seen nothing yet.‘ Can’t at all think why that’s not a vote winner.
@jburnmurdoch The Tories have been in power in the UK for 14 yrs in which time they've ruined public services, trebled the national debt, made all but the wealthiest poorer, divided the country through endless culture wars, isolated the UK from the rest of Europe, & rejected the rule of law.
@CorkGreens Fair bit of piss being boiled looking at the comments. Fact is such schemes are very successful elsewhere and are required to incentivise those who‘d otherwise just chuck litter from their car for example. Just watch those ditches and hedgerows getting cleaned up by local kids.
Yes I wonder what's most important. The fact that one of the US presidential candidates is a bit doddery, or the fact that the other one is a deranged fucking lunatic. It's so hard to tell.
@AdamCrafton_@lauriewhitwell City want to fix the rules of the competition for their own benefit, or at least to never be held accountable. It’s time the other clubs seriously considered kicking them out of the Premier League and to do so permanently or until there is a change of ownership.
