@andyburnham.bsky.social what’s your plan to protect the public from the impact of the rapidly accelerating climate crisis, how many wildfires, loss of property, loss of the natural world, lost crops, drying lakes, low reservoirs and rivers - before you give this crisis the urgency it deserves!

It's amazing that this guy managed it. But Mark Zuckerberg and Prince William, who both claim to be fighting Climate Change, use $400m Megayachts that use as much gasoline as 2,000 cars.
The Trump catering cart story isn't that he hid in a food truck. It's that he used a plane full of reporters and staff as a decoy. To him they are dispensable. Which is exactly who he is. Question is for those whose lives were endangered whether they continue covering Trump and working for him.
How to admit election cheating, and not one word about it is in the media.
It's now been confirmed that this summer will be the hottest on record. For those opposing bold action on the climate crisis - you're not just putting lives and the planet at risk today, but dooming future generations.
This burning summer is the proof: the voices of climate denial aren’t just delusional, they’re deadly | Sadiq Khan
Look at our blazing forests and parched cities. Green policies aren’t a ‘luxury’, and we can’t burn more oil and gas. People need the truth, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

Comments on Climate Change posts over the years, have convinced me that if astronomers detected a planet killing asteroid with a 100% chance of impacting the Earth & provided irrefutable proof, MAGA/REFORM voters would absolutely deny it, call people sheep, spout conspiracy theories, laughing 🤦
Just for context the 100 hectares of the New Forest destroyed by wildfires is equivalent to 140 football pitches What’s incredible is that there are still large swaths of the population “enjoying this lovely weather” Even worse not a word from the new PM! It really is through the looking glass !
Labour’s Planning & Infrastructure Act has bulldozed many checks & balances on corporate developments. AI projects are being classified as ‘Critical National Infrastructure’, allowing them to be fast-tracked through the planning system. AI Growth Zones with laxer planning processes. Who benefits?
As the physical evidence becomes undeniable those in climate change denial shift focus away from the underlying cause to simplistic explanations Fires? Arsonists. Flooding? Bad drains. Heat deaths? Old people die in summer. Crop failures? Farmers. Drought? Water companies While things get worse

We need to talk about Richard Tice In May 2024, Tice told me he didn't expect to fund Reform through his companies any more. So why did £1m from 'Posh' George Cottrell's mother move through a company he controls, then to Reform weeks later? New by me: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/richard-ti...

Climate-linked migration is too often used by some seeking to incite fear or alarm. So what’s the truth behind the lurid tabloid headlines? Join me to explore this with former Minister of the Maldives Aminath Shauna & policy expert Alex Randall (LinkTree in bio) @therestpolitics.bsky.social
“Fire seasons used to be sequential - the N. hemisphere’s summer, then the S. - which meant countries could send firefighters, aircraft & equipment to help each other when it mattered most That safety net is disappearing. When everywhere is burning at once, no one is left to come to anyone’s aid.”

Trump and his coterie of reprobates are an existential threat to humanity and it’s not hyperbole to state so. The fact that governments across the world are run by individuals so supine, lacking in character and morality while the rest of us watch helplessly is a failure of humanity.
