Hello! I have been an environmental advocate for decades, and have a few minor climate science qualifications.

I’m currently a sustainability executive for a financial institution, working on the company’s net zero transition plan and ESG ratings, plus climate science comms for our employees.
The more I see of US ICE agent behaviour, the more I understand the 2nd amendment:

“The amendment's purpose is twofold: to serve as a check on federal power by maintaining the existence of armed citizens and to provide states with the power to resist a potentially overreaching federal government.”

FB is absolutely infested with bots, AI accounts etc hell-bent on spamming disinformation under any climate or extreme weather-related news post.

It is appalling. The fossil fuel industry is throwing everything at persuading people there is no climate crisis, while it happens in front of our eyes.

🎼It was 60 years ago today🎶
That Johnson said its fair to say
Burning oil creates CO2🎶
Which is terrible for me and you🎶
So may I introduce to you🎶
The facts we’ve known for all these years🎶
The fossil fuel industry should be banned. 🎶

I keep wondering what the overall goal is of these billionaires. Is it to be the last person alive sat atop all the wealth, on a dead planet? Is that the aim?

Billionaires have some ego on them, eh? They seem to think their hoard protects them from anything. They need to read their history books, such as on Cuba, and particularly the French Revolution.

In 2020 @wwf.panda.org identified the 100 global cities expected to suffer the greatest rise in water risk by 2050- home to at least 350 million people!

We've already seen several megacities just days away from running dry.

When your house floods/catches fire, or food starts getting too expensive or unavailable, or extreme heat events kill lived ones, remember it was avoidable, and the perpetrators are:

1. The fossil fuel industry
2. The fossil fuel industry
3. The fossil fuel industry
4. The fossil fuel industry

My poor addled brain - every time I see a headline about COP30 for a second I think it’s about C3PO from Star Wars, but the chances of that are approximately 3,720 to 1.

For anyone thinking of getting a plug-in hybrid over a pure battery electric vehicle as a compromise when reducing personal CO2 emissions, think again!

“Plug-in hybrids now emit five times, on average, what official tests claim”

Some light reading for this evening!

A tome of this kind is incredibly useful - one that gathers the evidence of every industry which obstructs action on the climate emergency.

The contents pages list the industries sending us all to a climate hell in a handcart to protect their wealth / power.

So we’ve just seen what might actually be considered the first Category 6 hurricane hit Jamaica.

Climate change:

It’s real.
It’s us.
It is already dangerous, lethal for many, and getting worse.

A short video of interviews of some members of the Global Sumud flotilla, abducted by Israeli forces in international waters, recently released.

In particular, they talk of how the IOF treated #GretaThunberg

Dr. Jane Goodall’s last message to us all.

Watching Kemi Bad Enoch getting schooled on why a particular fossil fuel is keeping UK electricity prices high never gets old.

Traffic jam on the cycle path. Cardiff Council needs to widen these!

I am reflecting on this image today, and the saying below, as I traverse social media.

“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.”

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

What a great headline, highlighting the utter venality of this crass, ignorant, disgusting human being.
