The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · 4w agoZack Polanski on Nigel Farage and the Clacton by-election, "The wider point is about big money and political interference"
Having such fun explaining to French people that the most important politician in Angleterre is currently Le Conte de Visage-Poubelle! #binface #clacton #shitshow #funinfrance
I have to say, it's making me feel a little insane hearing commentators say Ed Miliband shouldn't be chancellor because of his "ideological zeal" for Net Zero, in a week where temperatures are so extreme that my kids are being sent home early every day and it's regularly 30 degrees inside my house
“We’ve only had 114 years to do something, let our kids sort it out!”
So i hope they reverse all increases in public transport costs than? How does this do anything but encourage fuel consumption?

That pesky EU, forcing farmers not to poison their crops... Where's the commonsensical British freedom to give consumers as much cancer as they like? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Reform took a £5m donation and they're trying to distract you. Farage is just another establishment stooge. Like in Gorton & Denton - the only way to stop Reform on Thursday - Vote Green. Join.greenparty.org.uk
How infuriating to hear the chairman(?) of Asda on the Today programme implying that land use for solar farms might significantly hurt UK food production. It's nonsense. Golf courses use more than solar ever will & beef/lamb production is huge yet provides a tiny fraction of our protein & calories.

A reminder of the facts that should be dominating the debate about energy policy, but which so much of the media ignores. Our world is frighteningly close to tipping points which would turn the climate emergency into a climate catastrophe. The transition away from fossil fuel must accelerate.

What an idiotic and regressive policy! An estimated 50% of people take zero flights in any given year. The Green Party's solution is fairer and more climate-friendly: one flight a year at low or zero tax, and then a levy that increases with each extra flight taken. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

April fools... but the only joke is Labour refusing to nationalise water to protect our rivers and lower our bills
In Oxfordshire, and in communities across the country, it’s the same answer: making homes warmer and lowering bills IS tackling the climate crisis. It’s not either/or.
The Green Party of England & Wales@greenparty.org.uk · 4mo ago“It’s all interlinked. If we’re tackling the housing crisis and making people’s lives better, we’re also tackling the climate crisis at the same time.” Wales Green Party Leader Anthony Slaughter at our launch for the Senedd elections.
“Starmer must end this involvement in Iran and stop the King's visit to the USA.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social calls on Starmer to show leadership - stop UK involvement in illegal wars, refuse concessions to Trump, and oppose normalising fascism through inappropriate state visits.
As the police find no evidence whatsoever of illegal family voting or voter coercion in the Gorton and Denton by-election, the BBC should ask themselves why, on the morning of the result, they gave so much airtime to these absurd and obviously racist claims from Nigel Farage

Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight" Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃
Brother @mothinali.bsky.social spitting facts
Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe Green Party's Mothin Ali on the importance of community spaces and how the Green Party has a plan to invest £5 billion to revive them #C4News "People are angry, our country is divided. And I get it" "One of the main reasons is the loss of our country's social infrastructure"
Sizewell C is predicted to cost £38 billion. For the same amount of money, you could install solar panels, heat pumps and batteries in 3 million homes. That would generate energy locally, rather than put massive strains on an already overloaded grid. Makes you think.

Just Barack Obama reminding us what presidential demeanour looks like.
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 5mo agoReverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
This madness cannot go on.
