In other words, it's just nonsense that governments are keeping '1.5 alive': they're not even close. Time to chuck that soup at the painting, and wake the hell up. It's not working. #climate #COP27 #FreeAlaa

My colleague @TomEvansClimate explains the latest UN report on country climate commitments (or NDCs in the jargon). In sum, they are not NEARLY enough to keep us even close to 1.5C. #COP27 #FreeAlaa

Great @johnharris1969 article on why we should say ENOUGH to climate deniers on Sunday, 52 mins into this link is astonishing with @DonnachadhMc doing just that on Murdoch TV, watch.talk.tv/watch/replay/1…

My thoughts on 'Liiberating Local Politics' with Brydon Davidson on his Dancing for Change podcast tinyurl.com/2p855a2n

What dissembling nonsense is this? Those road (not ambulance) blocking protestors from Insulate Britain were sent to prison without even getting a jury trial. Govt doesn't need more power to suppress this type of protest: it needs to get on with the job of cutting emissions, now!
Last night, Labour and the Lib Dems voted against our Policing Bill siding with Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion protestors who blocked highways, ambulances and workplaces. They voted to make it to harder for the British people to get on with their lives

At what point do the English population tire of Johnson’s failure to control the pandemic. It can be done - as demonstrated by the rest of the UK. It’s Govt failure on a massive scale.
