So much for a public town square - how Musk ensures his account is front & centre, while spreading inaccurate content & misinformation.

Wow, incredible if that's the case: "40% of global shipping is about carrying oil, gas and coal around, to burn them and then do the same again".

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

40% of global shipping is simply about carrying oil, gas and coal around, to burn them and then do the same again

A world without or with little fossil fuels has an enormously lighter footprint on Earth - starting with zero need for 40% of the shipping infrastructure

Big new report from @Desmog finds that *94%* of Telegraph articles about environmental issues since the election were "anti-green" – attacking or undermining climate science, policy and technological solutions, or environmental activists: https://t.co/a2BQJ1GUxL

This chart shows the outsized emissions of the super-rich, that are accelerating climate breakdown & risking our future. @oxfamgb's new briefing makes the case for punitive taxes/bans on the most carbon-intensive luxury consumptions: private jets & yachts https://t.co/Gcf5itMN18

I watched this doc last night & it hit home the very present threats we face from evil and exploitative far-right groups, which are bigger than I realised in the UK. Very grateful to the brave and difficult work of @hopenothate in exposing these threats

@ShaunSpiers1 As the need to decarbonise faster becomes ever more urgent and the economic case for doing so gets ever stronger, the Conservatives are set to elect a leader who seems to want to decarbonise slower, if at all. https://t.co/uiTVXW0uhl

Farmers and growers understand the critical effect that weather plays in food production and managing land. But how can they plan for the future with climate extremes becoming the norm?
