On @BBCr4today speaking on climate change @JohnKerry claims “the US is living up to its word”. This is not true. The US signed the Paris Agreement; to make its fair contribution to hold to “well below 2°C” & “pursue .. 1.5°C”. @bbcnickrobinson should have picked him up on this!

Next time the Government tries to tell you that drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea will lower your bills and give the UK energy security, read this👇 bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Deeply depressed at the thought of every centrist dad in the country confidently telling their mates down the pub that 2C of warming isn't a big deal, because they heard Bill Gates tell Alastair Campbell as much on The Rest is Politics.

“The mayor of Paris, @Anne_Hidalgo, has now proposed tripling parking rates for SUVs in central Paris to €18 an hour, and €12/hour for the rest of the city. The measure…would affect roughly 10% of the cars in the city.” Cybertruck isn’t allowed at all. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Limits to Growth: Ecosocialism or Barbarism by @agarzon remains a favorite essay of mine. It's an essential read, touching on the relationship between production & consumption, degrowth & efficiency, & a clarion call for ecosocialism — or barbarism. monthlyreview.org/2022/07/01/the…

@BusinessGreen This demonstrates the Orwellian world we’re moving towards when via serious journalism we normalise a narrative that more oil &gas will help the world move towards less oil & gas. For a detailed phase out schedule for fossil fuels aligned with 1.5-2°C see: pure.manchester.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles…

Dear @JonnyDymond & #bbcwato next time you interview a minister, especially Shapps, on energy security and new oil & gas, please make sure you’re properly prepared
Ciaran Jenkins@C4Ciaran

We asked the government to clarify or provide the data backing up @RishiSunak’s big claims on the expansion of #NorthSea oil and gas. They did not. They referred us instead to @RishiSunak’s comments today, in which he repeated those very claims.

I completely agree with @DaleVince and @ChrisGPackham👇🏼Sunak has doubled down on fossil fuels to make his mates in the industry richer while the rest of us go to hell. No doubt he hopes they’ll pay to rebuild his party when we vote them out next year. Let's never have them back!
Dale Vince@DaleVince

Sunak is breathtakingly dishonest. From his shameless claim that Starmer’s policy to stop drilling in the North Sea (entirely as per international scientific & political consensus) was bought by donations from an environmentalist, to his claims that his own rogue policies to start drilling will benefit the country - it really is little more than a lie when the facts say the exact opposite (it can’t lower energy bills or give us security). But perhaps we can understand his approach a little better today - @RishiSunak's family may not be unemployed or disabled but they are on state benefits - that’s how this $1.5 billion contract looks to me. And that too is breathtakingly dishonest.

Déjà vu! 1) PM promises £millions for a small CCS scheme (ie. green fudge & sop to the oil &gas sector) 2) @BBCr4today & @BBCJustinR fall for the glint of yet more future shiny kit 3) the climate keeps warming! Open the bonnet & CCS is far from green. climateuncensored.com/prime-minister…

Blocking the roads like this is completely unacceptable. They should lock up the people who did this and throw away the key. #JustStopOil

Wistman’s Wood is one of the most famous woodlands in Britain, among our few remnants of upland temperate rainforest. So it’s a shock to see how tiny it is. Yes, this is it. Thread/

The crucial line in this letter is when Caroline says she hasn’t been able, in Parliament, to “..focus as much as I would like on the existential challenges that drive me - the Nature and Climate emergencies. And as these threats to our precious planet become ever more urgent, I now want to concentrate more fully on these accelerating crises”. This is an indictment of our politics - and presages a new and if it’s possible even more vital role for Caroline,in the desperate and exciting years we are coming into…

In 2010 #Brighton Pavilion made history by electing me UK’s 1st Green MP & it’s been the honour of my life. My open letter to residents & friends explains why I’m not standing at next General Election. With love & gratitude, I hope I've done you proud 👇 carolinelucas.com/caroline/parli…

I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed…
