The planning contradiction is impressively neat: it accepts that 809Mt of GHG emissions will worsen global warming. It says leaving the coal in the ground would make a difference …then approves the mine anyway. Climate science only matters up until the decision. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The green light for the largest coalmine in NSW history is shocking proof that our governance systems are betraying Australians | Georgina Woods

There is no greater treachery than this failure to face up to the climate crisis. How can we now fend off despair?

Penny Mordaunt said in the discussion after TheWargame that it will be infinitely cheaper to spend money avoiding war than dealing with war. The same is obviously true for climate change, so why the relative scepticism from all tories?

Watching #TheWargame, my thoughts were “when will the public be properly informed like this about the climate crisis?” War *might* come Climate chaos *is* coming, and unless we act very rapidly it will be catastrophic #NationalEmergencyBriefing

Same as it ever was. Money, control, power…

Super-rich UK energy/food magnates’ wealth skyrockets amid global crises Working-class face soaring prices, worsening climate impacts. Billionaires owning food/energy companies profit from hardship The same class funds political parties, uses tax havens, preaches low wages to workers.

Time for this classic again.

Just started watching this from last week. A first of its kind, I think, and intriguing. Not totally sure I would want Gove as PM in such a scenario (ok, in any scenario) tho 😬 #TheWargame

You should all tune into Sky One on Monday 9pm to see what would happen if Russia attacked the UK, Michael Gove with the Prime Minister and for some reason I was in charge of the governments press office… welcome to The Wargame!

This new tool, the Carbon Impacts Tracer, which translates carbon emissions into real-world climate impacts like heat exposure and coral bleaching, looks super useful. ➡️ carbonimpactstracer.com

New tool directly links carbon emissions to amount of environmental and economic damage caused

Carbon Impacts Tracer can be used to estimate climate impact from emissions across eight different factors, including lost food production

The time to act is now. Not next year. And definitely not “by 2050”.

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Communities are watching the People’s Emergency Briefing and discussing what to do next with neighbours and MPs #EarthDay Screenings www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

On BBC 6 Music just now, presenter suggested how you could ask your smart speaker to restart the show if you’d missed any of it. “Alexa, restart the programme” she said. Doesn’t that cause mayhem for anyone listening on said speaker?

For goodness sake Burnham, sort this ridiculous stuff out!!

Watching Burnham on Laura K’s BBC show. Burnham says he’s fed up with politicians and media making politics about scoring points rather than improving lives. Laura effectively says “well hold on while I do exactly that for a bit longer, because it’s what I do”

Protest is one thing. Intimidating volunteer lifeboat crews is another. These volunteers risk their lives to save others. Targeting them isn’t patriotic. It’s un-British. @joshbabarinde.bsky.social
