Did you know you can suggest names for future storms?

Wouldn't it be terrible if lots of people submitted Wael (CEO of Shell) Murray (BP) Darren (ExxonMobil) Mike (Chevron) and Patrick (Total)...

I see your 'progressive except for Palestine' and raise you 'performatively progressive for Palestine' where organisations or individuals who describe themselves as progressive don't care unless it is about Gaza www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Interesting insights but lost me at "next GE in 5 years you can have your say again." FPTP has no place in a modern democracy, an occasional vote that barely counts is entirely why people feel compelled to make ill-advised petitions that are a haven for bots
Nothing says legitimate organic Right Wing uprising in the UK like a meaningless petition that gets retweeted by a foreign billionaire with 200 million followers on the platform he controls.

But wait til you hear where the signatures are coming from!

🧵1/9
Foreign Billionaire tweets about a pointless UK petition to his 200 million followers, twice in 3 hours and the Right Wing get super excited that the signups are an organic show the “will of the people”🙄

Apparently there are people - genuine, intelligent people - who think climate policy is trying to maintain CO2 and temperature at 'arbitrary baselines'

The precise conditions to which all of human civilisation and its infratructure are adapted are... arbitrary?

Interesting how the media are talking a lot about a protest against something that will have the greatest impact on the wealthiest in the country, when they say so little about protests against something that will greatly impact everyone in the country. I wonder why that is...

Xodus and what it means for climate justice movements.

Movements built on strong ethical foundations can often find themselves pushed into being reactive to emerging stations. There are some considerations to bear in mind when deciding to ditch the other place entirely... 🧵

COP 29 is a fossil fuel scam

For 30 years the UN COP Climate Conferences have failed to deliver meaningful change. They have served as a ‘talking shop’ with the big polluters given seats at the top table to cast doubt over the sciences and delay meaningful action.

Conflict is a key driver of displacement and deeply connected to climate change. Over half of the countries most vulnerable to climate impacts are also in conflict.
