Zack responds with the serious and honest leadership you would expect in a crisis. Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @carlbenfield.bsky.social
Zack Polanski, "If we decarbonise by 2050, that would cost less than a single (fossil-fuel) energy shock" "We've now had two energy shocks in just a few years" "We cannot keep waiting, we cannot keep hoping for magic technologies - it already exists, what is lacking is the political will"
This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.
“Why is climate action so difficult?” Mainly because the people who benefit most from not acting just made $93 billion, about $700,000 per minute, in three months. www.theguardian.com/business/ng-...

‘Was this heatwave caused by climate change?’ – we’re asking the wrong question
Instead of asking whether climate change caused a heatwave, we should ask how much hotter it became because of fossil fuel emissions.

Covering Climate Now@coveringclimatenow.org · 5d agoIt doesn't have to be this way. Between 80–89% of people around the world want their governments to take stronger climate action. “Voters are much more tuned into this than most of our [elected] representatives are,” said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social. “And indeed than most of the media is.”
Thank you to everyone who voted Green in the Greater Manchester Mayoral election! 💚
More oil and gas burning causes more climate change, which causes more weather extremes like heatwaves and wildfires, which causes more premature deaths. We shouldn't implement policies that cause more deaths. (Full page ad in The Times today) #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionNow
