#ElNiño Living in Northern Germany, I no longer expect frosty winters. Hence, I figure I could go full Mediterranean, aswell. Bougainvillea is ordered, will get planted into the ground next week. I mean, #ClimateCrisis, what Climate crisis? We can #TalkCollapse AND go down in style.. Right? RIGHT?

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

Just curious if anyone thinks Trump will last the full 4 years.

Flying - such a miserable way to travel: we need to make trains and ferries far more affordable

One day, in the distant future, we will see a poll that actually reflects what happens when renewables are built (power bills go down). *EVERY* poll currently adopts a brazen lie in question framing, for shamelessly ideological reasons.

Phoenix is one of the most unsustainable cities I have ever been. AC so high you end up taking off jumpers and coats when you go outside. This extreme weather could the point at which the penny drops and people link profligate energy use to climate breakdown. Or they could just turn the AC up.

Fossil-fuel interests have been promising to make coal and methane gas “green”‘using carbon capture and storage for nearly twenty years — at least since the Obama administration. But they never do it. And why? Because it cannot be done.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...
