This is absolutely ridiculous and outrageous from the BBC.

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

Oh wow. This is true. The new bosses at @bbc consider climate change to be woke. They’ve removed the climate heading on the news site. They want to downgrade reporting on the issue.
The BBC is a disaster when it comes to understanding what’s happening to the planet.
Why is right wing ideology allowed to destroy the bbc @lisanandy

My friend Jason Scott Warren attended a lecture about climate change from former U.K. Chief Scientist @Sir_David_King last night.

He says Sir David talked of the the real possibility of billions of deaths by midcentury. Yes, read that again. That’s just under 25 years. That would mean global collapse essentially - of the global economy, of society. How old will your children be then?

I understand that the establishment just listen to each other and not to scientists, but the gamble they are taking is a crime in itself. It is massively reckless and irresponsible.

People like @LordAshcroft @DavidGHFrost @afneil @mickbooker of GB News etc have decided the worlds most respected scientists are wrong and that they know better, despite having no scientific training in climate science at all.

It is madness that they won’t even speak to these scientists. I don’t think I’ve ever been aware of anything more illogical or reckless in my life.

Basic human decency wouldn't permit me to be "very happy" if I was nominated for some trinket, knowing that it very needlessly costs someone their life.

When the story of Jason Arday is told in full and remembered in history, the British "Journalism" Awards will be ashamed.

[Samuel Deats 🌕 @SamuelDeats]

For AI fucking data centers. Destroying the planet so people can ask a chatbot the fucking weather. Or to write a fucking email. Or to steal our children's future. Or so an AI agent can hack your bank account.

What a horrific disgrace to our planet.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

If this were Iran, or another "enemy" country, it would be the top story in every news outlet on the planet.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Watching journalists cover a BS flying Tesla car instead of the deaths of women and children in Ukraine because Starlink was slowed down is disgusting.

It's absolutely disgusting.

Former Head of MI6 Sir John Sawers, "Russia was very keen that the Leave campaign should succeed and that Britain should leave the European Union"

"Because that would marginalise Britain as a global player and weaken Europe in general"

"That's the strategic opportunity the Russians spotted, and the leaders of the Leave campaign fell into it"

My view: Former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers says Russia saw Brexit as a way to weaken Britain and divide Europe, and that the Leave campaign’s leaders walked straight into the opportunity.

So let’s remember who sold it:

VOTE LEAVE

• Boris Johnson — political figurehead
• Michael Gove and Gisela Stuart — campaign committee co-convenors
• Matthew Elliott — chief executive
• Dominic Cummings — campaign director
• Daniel Hannan — leading Brexit advocate
• Priti Patel, Iain Duncan Smith, Chris Grayling, John Whittingdale and Theresa Villiers — senior Conservative campaigners
• David Davis, Liam Fox, Dominic Raab, Steve Baker and Douglas Carswell — prominent Leave campaigners

LEAVE. EU

• Nigel Farage — leading political figure
• Arron Banks — co-chairman and major funder
• Andy Wigmore — communications director

GRASSROOTS OUT / LABOUR LEAVE

• Peter Bone and Tom Pursglove — Grassroots Out co-founders
• Kate Hoey — Grassroots Out co-founder and Labour Leave campaigner
• Graham Stringer, Kelvin Hopkins and Roger Godsiff — Labour Leave campaigners
• Sammy Wilson — prominent DUP Leave campaigner

They promised Brexit would make Britain stronger.

Sawers says Russia saw the opposite opportunity: a Britain marginalised and a Europe weakened.

As I’ve said multiple times, our infrastructure was built for a climate that doesn’t exist anymore.
You’d think both politicians and media would understand this and would be talking about it but we actually talk about ‘The Traitors’ more than we talk about this.

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

🚨The Public have got to wake up. This is Istanbul, Turkey, tonight and it’s just the beginning. Last year Professor Hayley Fowler, a leading climatologist and hydrologist, warned the UK could face this kind of extreme rainfall; enough to wash away cars and homes without much warning. It was ignored by the media.

Journalists and anyone with influence needs to lobby the Govt and the Prime Minister to broadcast the National briefing about the facts of climate change and what is coming towards us publicly on TV in the way we had Covid broadcasts. @nebriefing

The public need to face the reality that we’ve all fucked up. Our media and democracy doesn’t work.

I’m very aware that people think those of us who talk about climate change are crazy but the reality is developing right in front of our eyes. The scientists warnings are coming true.

People want to look away. I know lots of people in my own life do. But this is just the beginning it is going to get much much worse. The planet is already hotter than it’s been in over 100,000 years, carbon dioxide levels are higher than they’ve been in millions of years, scientists are telling us our kids will not survive the coming decades on the course we are on. This is really happening and we got to wake the hell up urgently. We are already in huge trouble and it can only get worse. https://t.co/TpIjL5u0Mq

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.

There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."

The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.

​There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.

There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.

It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.

​That needs to change. And fast.

It’s hard not to despair.
There are almost no mainstream famous media figures expressing alarm about the most alarming thing that’s ever happened (aside from environmental specialists).
We are witnessing a form of global mass suicide/murder.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

The thing desperately missing from the headlines out of Labour conference & Burnham’s speech of course

The small matter of the frying natural world 😣

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

Sooner or later all journalists and politicians are going to have to face that climate change is not some simply managed easily adaptable thing, it’s a complete and utter catastrophe that needs a world war level reaction

[Volcaholic 🌋 @volcaholic1]

How many more scenes like this before the climate change deniers finally admit the scientists were right?

Seriously, what will it take?

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

‘Not acting on climate change means a certain World War in the lifetime of anybody born from now on.’

Scientists explain that climate change is a far bigger threat than governments are telling you:

This is absolutely terrifying. None of us will escape what is coming if we don't act now!

Perhaps as a first step, Andy Burnham's government could release the full, unredacted Intelligence & Security Committee Russia Report that Boris Johnson tried so very hard to suppress?

[Rupert Read 🌍 🔥 @GreenRupertRead]

Dire news.
If you don’t understand the savage implications of ocean acidification for the very possibility of complex life on Earth, it’s time to look into them:
