OUT NOW: we revisit the pivotal moment when science, institutions and politics aligned to deliver the UK’s #NetZero target. At a time of political divergence, the evidence for #ClimateAction remains clear. Evidence-based #ClimatePolicy is more relevant than ever. @granthamicl.bsky.social

Right wing politicians and media deny the climate crisis and argue against the move to a net zero economy, they say this is just weather...but they will say anything to win votes. Bit like they did with Brexit.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Thank goodness that the Norwegian committee did not feel pressurised to follow many leaders in. Attempting to suck up to Donald Trump.
He would only have used the prize to justify his illiberal, undemocratic and dictatorial authoritarian practices at home!

Leaving the ECHR is just another "cause" that right-wing lunatics can latch onto.

It's Brexit 2.

And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they
are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.

@SueCymraes.bsky.social🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇰🇼🇳🇫 @suecymraes.bsky.social · 12d

They want to leave the ECHR cos they want to mimic Trump making Britain Great Again ie: a return to Victorian work, housing and health conditions,
Winston Churchill helped create the ECHR to prevent totalitarianism and oppression
Tories and Reform are enthusiastic of both! .

Sam Freedman @samfr.bsky.social · 12d

There are lots of reasons not to leave ECHR. But apart from anything else, it just doesn't solve the problem the Tories/Reform think it does.

E.g. the Supreme Court judgment re Rwanda being unsafe explicitly said it was not based on ECHR.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.
