The context of accelerating global heating is crucial to UK policymaking - statutory advisors the CCC are now warning that government must adapt buildings and infrastructure to a +2°C climate, and new-builds (somehow!!) to a near-catastrophic +4°C climate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@theguardian.com The "1.3°C" global temperature rise quoted here is a mean value AVERAGED OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, and entirely fails to reflect the severity of TODAY's climate, with delta-T already exceeding +1.5°C since preindustrial times amid fast rising CO2. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It only takes a 4th grade education to realize that shipping billions of dollars every HOUR to foreign nations for energy is a losing economic policy. Yet, the USA is that dumb.

China, as an electrostate, is set to wipe the floor with Trump's regressive petro-America. There's going to be hell to pay when the USA finally wakes up to what corporate fossil fuels have done to it. share.google/vlTIx2w7KSmP...

Lengthening pub opening hours to early morning will reduce productivity and increase NHS costs, leading to less, not more, economic growth. Is Starmer really incapable of seeing something so transparently obvious? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism. The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us. The Greens say enough is enough.

Birmingham, despite its challenges, is a fine, vibrant city and conurbation, primarily thanks to its people of all colours, including white, Robert.

There's a special kind of hell for those lacking basic morals or empathy who try to gain power by sowing discord #Jenrick

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt". No, me neither.

The fossil fuel industry's total grip on the US, right down to forbidding words that communicate simple facts, is pushing the world's largest economy towards failure. Only its huge size is currently masking its growing weakness.

If the US denies the reality of climate change and promotes fossil fuels over solar & wind its states have zero right to seek compensation from Canada over wildfire smoke. Contrarywise, British Colombia might have a fair claim against the US (and Alberta🤔) for causing it! www.bbc.com/news/article...

A #Shropshire Guardian reader, who chose to be anonymous, said: “Like much that exits Trump’s mouth, one needs to consider the timing and purpose of his utter nonsense. Trump is like a criminal fleeing the scene, pulling down the furniture to create obstacles for his pursuers.” #Paracetamol #Epstein

Trump is front and centre of the desperate efforts by fossil fuel companies to resist the inevitable clean wnergy transition. Unbelievable that these people will go to any lengths, including upending global stability and destroying democracies, just to keep pumping oil and gas.

In 2008 I predicted that by 2032, solar would dominate global energy production, killing fossil fuels in the process. The prediction dropped like a lead balloon, but reality is pretty much on track for this.

The world always failed to see that solar's historic exponential growth would project forwards. Only China saw it and applied can-do policies to make it happen. Now we face a solar, battery, interconnected, and perhaps also nuclear energy future, with China in the driving seat for most of it.

No amount of resistance from the incumbent fossil fuel industry, with or without the help of Trump and the far right, is going to change this - the tipping point is long gone.

If Starmer and Reeves still don't grasp the need to redistribute taxation in favour of the less well off, then one or both of them absolutely urgently needs to be replaced in position by someone who does, and gets to make that decision in time to turn this around. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dear Keir, I am well aware of the potential consequences, but like hundreds of thousands of others I will never vote for a Labour-labelled government that tolerated genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in Palestine, and prosecuted ethically minded citizens for protesting this. You've lost my vote.

What has been the key characteristic of Starmer's government? When doing the wrong thing, to double down and do it for as long as possible, regardless of the political consequences. I would hazard a guess that that's a personal characteristic of Starmer himself, and may soon sink this government.

Keir Starmer’s government is guilty of aiding Israel war crimes, experts at unofficial inquiry suggest.

Ironic that foreign secretary David Lammy is being replaced in this position by Yvette Cooper, the minister who brought in the controversial ban on Palestine Action. Not much sign of Starmer wanting to sharpen the UK's response to Israel's conduct in Gaza.
