Love the swimming pool analogy

In the comments, a classic example how climate contrarians lie to you, since they don’t have honest arguments. Human-caused emissions have increased atmospheric CO2 by half, from 0.028% to 0.042%. (Fun fact: that’s the same as 1,000 liters of pee in an olympic size pool.)

Fossil fuel companies are laughing in our faces . While the planet burns , they continue to drill baby drill and expand their exploitation of people and nature . That's why I'm calling on the UK Government to ban fossil fuel ads – sign my petition now at lovera.ge/ban-ffa

This is a critical point about the climate crisis that is too often overlooked. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This running joke continues, as November 2024 will almost certainly be warmer than any November in observed history before 2023. Which would make it the 18th month with more heat in the Earth system than any month before that in well over 100,000 years.

The same Jim Ratcliffe who in 2020 changed his tax residence from Hampshire to Monaco in a move estimated to have starved public services of £4 billion is now complaining that Britain's cities are unsafe because of a "failure by authorities to provide basic public services"...🤔

British rioter who punches a policeman in the face gets 3 years in jail. Just Stop Oil environmentalists, including @RogerHallamCS21, gets 4-5 years in prison-for organising a peaceful protest on zoom. Let that sink in.

Cut urban speed limits to uniform 20mph. Actually ban the 15k+ drivers with 12+ points. And actually police dangerous driving and antisocial parking by passing a law making it mandatory for police and local authorities to act on submitted video footage. Sorted.

Oh golly gosh. Liz Truss saying Kamala Harris has proved she’s not up to the job as VP. My ironymeter has just exploded into a million tiny pieces

Liz Truss here, on American TV, criticising Kamala Harris (pronouncing her name wrongly) for being unimpressive and unable to do the job. My desk is at risk of collapsing from the non stop assault my head is currently inflicting upon it. Utter. Cretin.

If a CSO should have been fixed decades ago, then the cost of fixing it now must be borne by water company shareholders, & never current bill payers. Once extent of problem is ascertained, further reports should be on the specifics of fixing CSO’s & the solutions required

A turd in the hand is worth… billions in profits! As OFWAT allows massive bill rises to reward @thameswater’s continued failure, here’s what my experience of standing in a river full of shit has taught me about the sewage crisis, it’s origins & what we must do to fix it 🧵
