"At current emission levels, our remaining carbon budgets for a decent chance of staying below 1.5°C (and minimizing the risk of setting off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control) will be gone before the End Of This Decade."

To have a chance of minimizing further irreparable damage, we have to choose: either we safeguard living conditions for all future generations, or we let a few very fortunate people maintain their constant, destructive search to maximize immediate profits.

@FirstAidKitBand@RoyalAlbertHall Finally got some in the @MetropolisMusic presale after a few technical issues on Wednesday am.
Cannot wait for this guys, bring it on! ����
P.S. could @FirstAidKitBand start posting on Bluesky, as I'm trying to quit twitter. It's a much nicer place over there.

I've messaged on the app about not being able to use Credit Card on my 1st day of holidays. Please can you review and contact me?
Thank you.
@TheStingisBack This is probably my all time favourite movie.
John Candy & Steve Martin are the ultimate odd couple.
It's one of the truly great Road Movies, and so quotable.

As the COP29 climate meeting is reaching its end, it should not come as a surprise that yet another COP is failing. The current draft is a complete disaster. But even if our expectations are close to non-existent, we must never ever find ourselves reacting to these continuous betrayals with anything but rage.
The people in power are yet again about to agree to a death sentence to the countless people whose lives have been or will be ruined by the climate crisis. The current text is full of false solutions and empty promises. The money from the Global North countries needed to pay back their climate debt is still nowhere to be seen. The host country - Azerbaijan - is a repressive and authoritarian petro-state that has committed ethnic cleansing and genocidal acts towards Armenians. Civil society present at COP29 are being silenced, yet continue fighting and pushing negotiators towards the bare minimum.
All this while oppression, inequalities, wars and genocides all over the world continue to intensify. Those in power are worsening the destabilisation and destruction of our life supporting ecosystems. We are on track to experience the hottest year ever recorded, with the global greenhouse gases reaching an all time high just last year.
It is clear that our current systems are not working in our favour. The COP processes aren’t just failing us, they are part of a larger system built on injustice and designed to sacrifice current and future generations for the opportunity of a few to keep making unimaginable profits and continue to exploit planet and people.
With every negotiation, with every speech made by a world leader and with every agreement they sign, it becomes clear that it is up to us as a global collective to take the action we so desperately need and show where the leadership truly lies. They are not going to do it for us, as this COP29 yet again proves.

What would you do if your child burned to death after your neighbours child was blown to pieces after your cousins child was shot 355 times? I know what I'd do.
A letter to all my friends who tell me to just shut up and be happy. in todays @irishexaminer
@NiallStanage Perhaps the Dems are also ripe for a takeover from an anti-Trump populist with extreme ideas who will have broad appeal but not necessarily embody traditional Dem values. The next 2 years will reveal a lot.
