[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline.

“Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet.*

Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming.**

Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”***

* in 1937, Guy Callendar published a paper showing that the world had already warmed over the last 50 years due to human emissions what he called “carbonic acid“ – what we now call CO2 – from burning fossil fuels

** If you are wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?”

— it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now.

So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming.

This is incredibly powerful from Alexandra Parmar-Yee, calling on the government to legislate to protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion:

“The government’s own equality impact assessment admits that the impact on all trans people will likely be wide-ranging and negative, and notes trans women could face “disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault” if we are left only with access to men’s services. The document also notes that “women who are considered masculine may face greater scrutiny” and warns of adverse impacts on disabled people. It will be more than just the trans community who suffer under a system that encourages suspicion of people’s gender based on “physique or physical appearance”, to quote the guidance itself.

Trans people will be left with a choice between researching toilet provision every time we go out or living our lives as we always have – only now without the protection of the law. In reality, our worlds will get smaller, and so many trans people who enrich our communities will self-exclude, leaving everyone worse off.”

@Cerfoo148 @LGBTQPrideUK @TPointUK The majority of British people are not offended by minorities existing and being represented. If they were and what you said had merit, black people should paint their faces white as not to offend racists.... Do you know now how bigoted you come across?

@JoostKleppe @gerard_beirut @lidewij_devos Dus zonder de haatzaaiers van ppv, FvD, ja21, bbb etc, en een land dat nog progressief is. klinkt inderdaad heerlijk.

@elonmusk @UN_Women I checked the replies to the statement from @UN_women because I was curious when the first idiotic "define woman" reply showed up. Congrats, you were top! Doesn't make you less abusive and crass though.

Israel has kidnapped the sister of the president of Ireland.

@giveashitnature @frederiquespigt Also they're pretty and apparently make a really nice tea 😁😁

@JeromeFosterII Amazing how that resembles Van Gogh's start night 💕

@thundertick @Fulcrum_HQ @PhilipProudfoot @getprdone Thanks, I mixed up the names. SV is even worse than STV for proportional representation 😕

[Pieter @P_Bots]

@Fulcrum_HQ @PhilipProudfoot @getprdone He offered STV, not PR... STV would still create the same mess of unaccountability there is in the UK now...
