I don't celebrate Halloween but I feel obliged to pass on this public information film about the socialist vampires who invented the climate crisis. 🧛🌎🎃
Hi Bluesky 👋 I’m Oli, socialist vampire. I invented the climate crisis as a means to push through evil policies that will create a greener fairer world with more free-range organic humans (which as we all know, have the most delicious blood)

Good news about banning burning on peatland. Now we need progress on the bill to ban horticultural peat too - back in Parliament this Friday 12 September.
Great to see that government WILL ban moorland burning on peat deeper than 30cm, and over a much greater area than previously
Big win for communities who've suffered the smoke + floods stemming from this Victorian practice
Only losers are ~150 wealthy grouse moor owners

Climate policy should target the richest cohort responsible for the largest share of global CO₂ emissions. Eliminating the fossil fuel subsidies that primarily benefit them would be a good start
