🧵You may have seen a misleading climate related deaths graph used by climate change deniers. It originated from Bjorn Lomborg using data that included policy & war related deaths. He has been spreading a misleading statistic on Fox news. This 2 part video debunks it. #climate

That’s the entire fuel bill for the maiden flight of the world's largest battery-electric aircraft: 27 minutes over upstate New York, 30 seats.
Meanwhile, dirty jet fuel is up 63% in a year
Short-haul trips make up 85% of all flights in the world. Electric planes don’t need to cross oceans to obliterate fossil fuel economics in aviation, they just need to take that 85% and that's coming: There are 200+ electric aircraft programs worldwide, with at least 10 with flying hardware

Spain 11% - 13%
Germany 9 - 11%
France 6 - 9%

The fossil fuel lobby groups are claiming glacier collapses like Nepal have happened before. hint: so they agree the frequency is increasing. What increases the rate of glacier melt and destabilisation? Fossil fuels.
Nope, its used by the oil industry in oil refining. Conspiracy theorists ignore anything bad that fossil fuel firms do. Almost as if fossil fuel lobby groups covinced them to attack climate science and ignore fossil fuel lobby groups lying to them.

Matthew Wielicki has been spamming all the threads he can find about the Tibetan disaster with his non-expert, evidence-free, ignorant opinions trying to promote himself. Disgusting opportunistic grifting behaviour.
He has zero expertise & zero published papers in climate change. Not his field.
