Why should we in Pakistan pay for catastrophic floods we had no part in causing? | Sherry Rehman https://t.co/XvQRG2f2Hh

Very good point this. We’re trying to fix the roof now it’s pouring down. Other options were available.

I’m calling for the government to tackle the energy cost crisis by getting off gas for good with clean renewable energy like onshore wind. We need urgent action to ensure we all stay #WarmThisWinter. @ThisWinterUK. Will you sign the petition? https://t.co/wywmsTNz3U

We need to change just about everything in our society - and quickly.

Do we have to be revolutionaries then?
@GeorgeMonbiot says yes.

Flawed and insufficient though the Act is, this alone might make it worth the compromises

Ok, this is fucking awesome.

I wonder if the same bias exists in the UK? For me the most telling part of the abstract was the last phrase: consuming conservative news correspond(s) to greater misperceptions. Telegraph and Mail readers, take note!

“While 66–80% Americans support these policies, Americans estimate the prevalence to only be between 37–43% on average. Thus, supporters of climate policies outnumber opponents two to one” https://t.co/7w1MxnvOpz

Rail travel only emits, per passenger, an average 22.4 grams of CO2 per kilometer compared to an average of 252.8g/CO2 from air travel according to @EUEnvironment.

Brilliant idea! Of course, not flying at all is the best, but for those who must or are still addicted (it'll kill you in the end!), this is a good starting point

[The Aviation Environment Federation @The_AEF]

Low emission zones are already commonplace in cities to tackle road emissions but could they be applied to airports too? 🤔 Belgium’s Federal Ombudsman says they could be a way to ban the most polluting and noisy planes from Brussels Airport.

I think this is the most important set of climate numbers I've come across in a decade. They are a Rosetta Stone for understanding why banks and the financial system are at the center of the crisis.
Right now capitalism is a suicide machine.

It’s increasingly looking like the only way to limit warming to 1.5C is time travel.

This is probably the most important figure in the new IPCC WG3 report. We need to accelerate the deployment of mature clean energy technologies and behavioral shifts this decade even as we work to develop the technologies we will need for the next few:

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

This NEEDS to happen!

Wood burners emit more particle pollution than traffic, UK data shows https://t.co/hJPjHqaQNc

The problem isn’t overpopulation.
The problem is overconsumption.

Pssst!

Solar is now 88% cheaper than thought a decade ago, UK govt says – half its estimated cost of new gas power

Just running a gas plant in Feb 2022 is costing around FOUR times as much as we'd pay for new solar or wind

Nearly 50k people have signed a petition to stop Channel 5 axing Neighbours, yet the petition to end ghost flights - literally flying empty planes to keep landing spots during a climate crisis - is yet to reach 10k. Humans, have a word with yourselves. https://t.co/vJRBKb1knw
