Thread/ It's hard to express in one short article just how badly @lb_southwark mismanaged direct investments of the pension fund, invested against their own investment strategy and in opposition to their divestment commitment.

“Scientists say the current period is likely to be the warmest the planet has been in 125,000 years.”
January was 1.75C.
2C seriously threatens our ability to produce food.
We’re in so much trouble, & the people governing us simply do not care.

I won’t sugar coat it, today is one of worst of my lifetime.
Jan temps 1.75C above pre-industrial level, but silence from those who’ve dismissed ‘alarmists’ like me for decades.
Meanwhile, suicidal gov'ts everywhere are sabotaging our chances of averting disaster.
Bleak.

I joined protestors outside the RCJ today because our politicians continue not only to ignore the evidence of climate breakdown , but accelerate our species collapse with this obsession over growth above all else .
No growth on a dead planet , solidarity with the #LordWalney16

The Chancellor is backing 3rd runway at Heathrow which will destroy the Government’s green credentials, mobilise huge opposition & put at risk numerous Labour seats for an assessment of economic benefits, which has been effectively rubbished. It begs question who is advising her

The expansion of Heathrow is incompatible with the 6th Carbon Budget and the U.K’s decarbonisation targets, the purpose of which is to avert climate catastrophe.
That’s why Keir Starmer originally voted against Heathrow expansion.
Unlike politics, global warming isn’t a game.

The Green Party has literally no purpose other than to oppose development, nuclear and even renewable projects.
They cosplay as progressive, but support maintaining the status quo of NIMBYism, sluggish growth and managed decline.

A great thread by @PeteK_AQ showing just how deeply unethical Labour government's plans to expand Heathrow are given the air pollution and carbon impact of doing so.

Journalists are very bad at pointing out that Mayor Khan enabled massive City Airport expansion. And built the Silvertown Tunnel. Would be great to see the press actually hold him to account on his misleading climate claims. @horton_official @dpcarrington ft.com/content/e27a38ee-16c8…

It is insanity to support Heathrow expansion, and demonstrates how deeply unserious the Labour Party has become as a political party. The economic impact of the climate crisis including the health impact from air pollution dwarfs any temporary growth from Heathrow's expansion.

They could play their part or even lead a mass expansion in European rail travel, and renationalise the broken UK system, offering modal shifts from the most destructive modes of transport. This would create huge economic opportunities.

But that would require some basic vision and moral fortitude. Future generations will have nothing but contempt for them. They are digging their own grave.

This is totally appalling from London's supposedly environmentally conscious Mayor.

Since privatisation (debt free) in 1989, water companies have:
- accumulated £60bn of debt
- paid £72bn in dividends
- paid average CEO salaries of £1.7m p.a.
- made our waterways the dirtiest in Europe
- put bills up by 40% in real terms

ALT Page 1 of a flyer that informs about the air pollution impact of wood burning. The image is of a wood burning stove with burning logs and smoke coming out of the top. The text says "Wood burning feels cosy but the science is now clear. Burning any kind of solid fuel in a home pollutes the homeowner and their neighbours". Plus some statistics about fine particles (PM2.5).
ALT The back page of a flyer that informs people about the air pollution impact of burning wood. There are eight facts and statistics and ten sources listed. Please visit bit.ly/m4linfo for more information on wood burning.
