Do you get nuance?

Nobody is saying all hydrogen is bad. Co-firing green hydrogen with gas is, for reasons explained, wasteful.

The hydrogen ladder principle is quite helpful for some nuance even if one doesn't endorse all detail. Hydrogen Ladder Version 5.0

With Caroline Lucas at the Conduit Club, talking about how to save democracy - by making action climate popular. By starting with where people are: not in abstractions, but in collaborative agency. On climate impacts and in cost of living - which are >the same fight<.

Advocacy in favour of #CCS predominantly comes from #BigOil majors including #BP, #Shell and #HyNet partner #Eni, along with the #CarbonCaptureAndStorageAssociation which disproportionately represents the fossil fuel industry and has consistently engaged with the government since 2008.

Short comment on 'carbon trading' climateuncensored.com/what-role-fo...

Paris 1.5°C needs >20% cuts in global emissions every year - starting now!
For Paris 2°C, it’s ~8%.
Which country/company/institution can exceed these rates?
Only those that do have any real “emission space” for carbon trading.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

I’m a few days late but seeing @zackpolanski.bsky.social on this week’s Question Time gave me more hope for politics and people in the UK. So much so that I’m now a member of the Green Party! (This is also the first time I’ve become a member for a political party!) it’s safe to say I’ve been swayed!

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?
