"Gas prices have surged since Iran conflict began. The way power markets work (under powerful Labour MPs) means gas almost always sets the wholesale electricity price. During periods of zero-carbon operation, Neso expects wholesale prices to be low" www.thetimes.com/article/01d7... 1/

The Swiss far right "People's Party" (which appears in the Epstein files in his communications with Steve Bannon) is our country's largest party. It is also campaigning in favour of a straight up white nationalist ecofascist initiative - called the "sustainability initiative."

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

'I've never really liked the doomerist framwork of, oh, we have only 5 years or 10 years or whatever the number is to tackle climate change. Humans are also extraordinarily creative and adaptive creatures, at least that's what I see time and time again in history'.

I also discuss the bizarre and disturbing association between the Starmer government and former special advisers to Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. I vaguely remember being told something about "Change". But this continuity is beyond our worst nightmares. Not just Tory policies, but actual Tories.

On Saturday, we held a mock funeral for the 1.5C climate target agreed 10 years ago in Paris. In a decade, we have burst through 1.5 and could hit 2C of warming by the mid-2030s. Governments have failed to keep the world safe from deadly temperature rises. They are killing us.

Was a wonderful action. Red Rebels, drums, singing, poetry & politics. Strong impact on passers by. 🙏🏽

1.5 IS DEAD… Come and mourn its passing: 📅 Sat 10 May, 13.30–16.00 📍 Meet on Christ's Pieces, Cambridge, nr Wesley Church (look for XR flags) ⚰ Join XR Cambridge in a funeral march round the city, led by Red Rebels and ending with speeches, poetry, songs and art.

FUNERAL FOR 1.5 A funeral march through Cambridge city centre, led by Red Rebels and bookended by speeches, poetry, songs lamenting the death of the 2015 Paris climate goal of restricting global heating to 1.5C (or 'well below' 2C). Saturday 10 May, Christ's Pieces, 1.30 - 3.30

Once again - utilising geoengineering while continuing to pump out carbon is akin to giving a poisoned patient an antidote while administering more poison Madness And who honestly thinks the FF corporations will NOT use this as an excuse to expand operations? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
