It’s outrageous that Jenny Jones is left begging the Lords to listen to the science.
Every MP and member of the HOL should be forced to listen to a briefing from the chief scientist and other UK leading scientist on the realities of climate change and what is coming towards us.
This broadcast should also be made to the public.
This is an insane insane situation
@Keir_Starmer@andyburnham@DavidLammy@Ed_Miliband@AngelaRayner@RachelReevesMP@bphillipsonMP
It's officially the hottest June day ever.
We know who is to blame. Fossil fuel firms. The billionaire media. Weak politicians.
We know what we must do. Rapid decarbonisation & adaptation for a healthier, wealthier country safe for future generations.
MEANWHILE IN THE REAL WORLD ...
The UK is about to go over 35C for three days in a row. We are at 1.5C and temperatures are now raising by 0.4C a decade meaning we will be hitting 2C in ten years. Meaning the UK's wiring, roads, railway lines, and housing will be melting, subsiding, and heading under water. Great story to tell. Just Great.
"Starmer has a good story to tell."
Oh, and yes, to round it off Starmer sat back and allowed judges to give years long sentences to the most courageous members of the younger generation who took proportionate peaceful action to force reality onto the agenda, and who are going to have to spend their whole lives dealing with this shit.
At the very minimum, to make any real difference, the UK has to get to zero emissions by 2035.
Pretending otherwise is the purist of pure bullshit.

Have you seen this @AlistairCarns ? Can you talk to colleagues to force a broadcast of scientists explaining the facts.
I don’t think it’s unfair to say politicians refusal to tell the public the truth is gross negligence and endangering all of us - because this is happening far faster than predicted.
We are causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes
We are taking Earth’s 🌎 climate beyond natural limits, with CO2 & temps levels not seen for 3 million years.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy
Dear Humanity, #ClimateChange threatens our existence.
If we don't act soon there'll be catastrophic biodiversity loss & untold amounts of human misery.
Time's running out.
Yours,
15,000 concerned scientists
Act, before action is no longer possible. #ClimateCrisis
I’m staggered everyday that the world’s biggest media voices are essentially pretending this isn’t happening.
It’s truly astonishing.
A collective derangement. https://t.co/9zsVUSaIq4
Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temperatures warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention. #climate #globalwarming #science #climatechange
The social media denial and inadequate media reporting of climate change is not just a silly online issue, climate change is an existential threat to all of us and this country is failing to respond appropriately in any way. #heatwave#metoffice#hot
A teacher told us about global warming in 1988 when Margaret Thatcher warned about it.
He said it was scary but they’d fix it by the time we grew up.
It’s quite stressful that they didn’t.
Records are records because they are so extreme for the time of year.
When they are broken it’s usually by a fraction of a degree.
This could be broken by more then 2C!!
This is deeply concerning.
The planet we grew up on has changed.
33C forecast for Monday!
This would be record breaking for May!
Our dumb-as-nails-asleep-at-the-wheel media refuses to raise the alarm, when records are falling everywhere, the planet is hotter than it’s been in over 100,000 years with crops being affected driving inflation, sea levels rising and far worse to come.
In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate
