"The 'reduction in enthusiasm' [for climate action] among rich nations didn’t happen by accident.
It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth.
Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies."

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

75 years ago, the ECHR was signed after the horrors of the war.
Today, Nigel Farage and many Westminster politicians want to tear up the laws that protect our basic human rights.
Our rights are not Westminster’s to take away. We will stand firmly against that.

What was that interview with John Swinney on ch4 news just now?? Massively edited to the point of sound bites. I welcome a longer exposure of Plaid Cymru but they were given much longer to explain their ideas. Snp is treated very differently.
