It enrages me that companies-BP seek short term profit over the future, it could so much better for people (more money and more comfortable homes) For anyone that's interested I was interviewed by Toby Foster on BBC Radio Sheffield (26/02/25) 4.10 - 4.30pm www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Starmer's apologists will tell us "it's too soon to criticise him" until 2028, whereupon they'll tell us, "it's too close to the election, now is not the time." There is never a wrong time to hold your government to account.

Since 1979, Arctic ice declined by more than 2 million square kilometers The pale color of ice reflects more than 80% of light that hits it back into space But when ice melts, light instead hits the darker seawater below it, which reflects only about 10% of sunlight climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-...

It's utter madness. In today's column I discuss how Labour in the UK, just like Trump in the US, is dismantling the administrative state. And how this makes its other plans, including the good things it's trying to do, impossible to implement. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I've been encountering over the past few days the claim that the planet is warming twice as fast as predicted. This is entirely untruthful and unhelpful. The planet is warming AS fast as predicted, which is cause enough for dramatic action. The truth is bad enough!

Scientists estimate that one extra death is caused for every 4,434 tonnes of CO₂ emitted. The top 12 billionaires combined emit almost 17 million tonnes a year—causing around 3,800 extra deaths a year, or an average of 320 deaths each. No wonder they're in denial...! References👇

I think this should be worthy of intense media coverage as January 2024 records a temp 1.7oC institutions.newscientist.com/article/241623… In addition, the Arctic has LOST 148,000sq km of floating ice over the last 5 days (Spring ice lost usually begins an about a month).

Any journalist who thinks that coral bleaching on the GBR was “first seen in 2024” hasn’t been paying attention. Mass mortality of corals due to climate change was 1st recorded in 1998, following by 2002, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022 & 2024. See www.cell.com/current-biol...
