Radical speech by another #woke activist, tree-hugger & hippy
Calling for #degrowth of the #fossilfuelindustry
Her name is #MargaretThatcher, its 1989 @UN
She is #PrimeMinister of the UK and Leader, @Conservatives
We ignored her & arrived at a #ClimateAndEcologicalEmergency

"We know it is still possible to make the 1.5° limit a reality. It requires tearing out the poisoned root of the climate crisis: fossil fuels. And it demands a just, equitable renewables transition." @antonioguterres
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

This is just a snippet of the huge civilisational changes which are moving towards us.
If media cannot even report the threat of #4billiondead we really have reached #DontLookUp

the New scientist reports that #AMOC collapse is more likely the faster climate changes and as it accelerates this is huge. archive.is/HergP

Independents seem more likely to grasp it though, so where are likes of @bbcnews @itvnews @Channel4News ?

The super duper El Niño makes 1.7C look likely. That is 2.7C on land. Average. Think super duper heatwaves. Super duper wildfires.

One about 50% loss of GDP, nothing about 4 billion people missing.
What is the risk? Well, the observed science shows things moving towards the 4 billion rather than 2. Heating is accelerating. Tipping points coming into view. #AMOC collapse is the most extreme of these

That’s 2 billion at least. Or 25% of the world’s population. Or everyone in Europe, the USA, Brazilian, Russia, Mexico and a host of others gone.
Or more than 4 billion.
Half the world’s population.
Hardly even a headline.

On page 32 there is the most extraordinary thing, missed by all the media it seems.
In a media frenzy world hungry for clicks, how did this happen? How could 2 billion deaths be missed? Are editors all on holiday? @BBCJustinR @GeorgeMonbiot

Why is AC so rare in much of Europe? Well, until recently it simply wasn't hot enough to need it. Here is the average number of days above 30C (86F) for major cities over time:

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

10yrs on, on 16th June 2026 ... we need to mark #JoCoxDay of non violence in the UK.
These days... Politics is virtually designed to be a war of words. Contested logic layed out. Conflicting evidence examined.
And that's on a good day.
But politics is not a contact sport.

FACTCHECK: GB News owner Paul Marshall seems to dislike Christian leaders criticising his channel's attacks on climate action, so he made a rare public intervention
But his letter to the Guardian (pic) makes 25 false, misleading or confused claims (!)
Receipts in next post 1/
We advocated with united voices for planned responsible #transition ... but faced #regulatorycapture on a widely publicised scale.
Now researchers are warning of a #viciouscycle ahead.
Our institutions can still acknowledge the public interest. .. but only if they limit the unalloyed determined short term private interests that are taking us to the brink.

If we reach 1.5°C, this is what is going to happen:
‼️Every fraction of a degree matters—beyond 1.5°C, the risks and damages from extreme weather, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss increase dramatically.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

What does #JPMorgan think about #ClimateRisk?
It sees a constant decline in GDP? 30% anyone? 50%?
Are economists still working on #Nordhaus's ideas because it shows them what the want to see?
My oh my, what could possible go wrong? @ProfSteveKeen
