Mechanisms like wishful thinking? Fantasy technology? Massaging the figures?
When asked about airport expansion & climate goals, Ed Miliband says:
“Any aviation expansion must be justified within carbon budgets and if it can’t be justified it won’t go ahead”
But also "we have a range of mechanisms to make sure any aviation expansion is consistent with our carbon budgets"

If UK govt do this their climate credentials will be hanging on a thread that’s just as fragile as the global 1.5 limit #climateemergency
NEW ANALYSIS - With the UK government poised to back the expansion of Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton, we crunched the numbers on the climate impact of these plans.
The UK would need to plant a new forest 2X the size of London to offset the emissions from all the extra flights 🌳✈️

Great to see my old boss celebrated in this way 💚
A real pleasure to be awarded an honorary degree from @sussexuni.bsky.social this morning to recognise my work in green politics. A very fetching gown too (tho Richard thought the hat looked better on him :). Congratulations to everyone collecting awards today 🎉

Dear @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
Pls sort out your climate policy. Heathrow plan is opposite of what climate safety demands. If you need refresher am sure your advisers can help (CCC have warned against expanding airport capacity) 🙏
Ps just ‘cos Trump is anti a liveable future you don’t need to be xx

This snapshot of top climate news on @carbonbrief.org really captures global climate politics in this historical moment: full-on denial in the US, ambivalence and greenwashing in the UK, and a new implementation of 1+N, a "zone specific environmental management system," in China.

Shocking and yet sadly I’m not shocked 💔
Exclusive -- New documents reveal how UK arms factories targeted by Palestine Action were exporting to Israel throughout the Gaza genocide.
Palestine Action say the findings "vindicate" their efforts.

As we prepare for 4 more years of #Trump presidency, let's not let him distract us from what is really going on.
We must remember to see beyond the tactics meant to preserve the status quo for the 1%.

Even before Trump, we were on the way to losing our democracy – but we did not pay attention. Now, we have no choice but to attend to it

And so it begins again: the misogyny, racism, hatred, attacks on the poor, climate denial.
And so it continues: the defence of democracy, resistance, solidarity.
