In 1978, German science journalist Hoimar von Ditfurth warned millions on national TV about the coming #climatecrisis. His daughter later co-founded the Green Party. We’ve known what’s coming—and what must be done—for nearly half a century. Yet we still can’t act decisively. What holds us back?

BBC

Bias is often in the eye of the beholder

So let’s stick to measurable facts

During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times

Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority

47 were from UKIP/BP

23 times Farage

Climate knowledge has been taken hostage to prevent climate action.

“It 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.”
Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot
The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

If the BBC is guilty of anything it has been far too ready and willing to follow the right-wing media narratives pushed by the billionaire press barons, instead of pursuing its own independent journalism based on exposing and uncovering the truth – regardless of whether people want to hear it.

This is really important.

The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

Nigel Farage told us who he was, and who he represents years ago. Might be a good idea to listen.
Farage has been consistent for 15+ years.

Opposing decent pay and conditions for ordinary hard-working young people and expectant parents.

Meanwhile, he makes a mint hawking bullion, presenting tv shows and flying to the USA to big up his interests - instead of serving his constituents.

Don’t forget, if you happen to be in Paris any time until mid December, I hope you’ll check out our unique EXHIBITION at Paris City Hall on bold climate action through better city-building! It was great fun and a big honour to collaborate with Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social & her great team on this.
NEW: “Canadian urbanist @brenttoderian.bsky.social teamed up with the city of Paris and, in particular, its mayor, @annehidalgo.bsky.social on a new exhibition that shines a light on cities and global climate action.”

Thanks very much @momentummag.bsky.social for the great questions! #Paris

This is the only pertinent point to be made, really.
She is telling an accurate story of recent history - the triple punch of austerity, Brexit and covid. It's spot on. But it is terribly strange to say it now in government when you were not prepared to say it in opposition.
