@bbcquestiontime Who now wants to raise a child into a world of catastrophic climate change?
English

#bbcqt Manifesto wording: “Labour will not increase taxes on working people, which is why we will not increase National Insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of Income Tax, or VAT.” Fiona Bruce’s selective quote excluded the “working people” bit. @bbcquestiontime

@resfoundation Significant subsidies for all as most wealthy people will use cars or cycle so lower income groups will benefit appropriately. And massive investment in electrifying public transport.
English

Kicking off our event, @JMarshall_3 says that emissions from transport (which currently account for 34 per cent of total UK emissions) need to fall rapidly over the next decade, as part of our net zero transition.

English

@resfoundation @JMarshall_3 Two questions: what’s the pale blue sector? And how come HGVs drop so much in the future? Green hydrogen?

@SkeeperChris @MichaelEMann I concur. Though I read them in order of publication. Essential reading for, er, everyone.
Who can thank Michael later (or now if they are so minded).
English

@MichaelEMann Brilliant.
I hope he stays safe!🐱
I just finished your latest book. Anyone who wants to discuss climate change should read it, especially the last chapter.
I am now going to start the previous one!

@mzjacobson Crescent Dunes Solar Energy project, not solar crescent 🙄
Català

@mzjacobson Over from UK visiting family in Reno. Driving from Furnace Creek (120F) north of Tonopah saw this. Solar Crescent. Is it good news?

English

Solar crushes gas.
Solar alone provided 9% more electricity than fossil gas on California's main grid from March 7-September 4, 2024 (30,915 GWh v 28,370 GWh).
In 2023 during the same period, fossil gas provided 24% more electricity than did solar (39,865 GWh v 24,033 GWh).
Mark Z. Jacobson@mzjacobson
Fossil gas use declined on the @California_ISO grid by 29% Mar 7-Sep 4, 2024 vs 2023 due to a 103% growth in battery output and 11% growth in #WWS output (led by 29% more solar & 6% more wind) DESPITE a 3 F hotter period in 2024. And no blackouts.

See my new piece in @BulletinAtomic about how Trump, @GOP, & @Heritage Foundation are seeking to undermine renewable energy and climate action via #Project2025: thebulletin.org/2024/08/projec…

Trump: The wind is ruining everything, killing all your birds, destroying the fields, all these gorgeous fields, you got windmills all over the place and you have birds. You want to see a bird cemetery, just go under a windmill. The bald eagle. These windmills knock them out like nothing
English

@MichaelEMann Yes! Thanks for making the point. I’d certainly noticed and thought that this was exactly why. Thank you and keep relentless. 🙏

@StoneJAlex @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz Not the Nevada folk we know. Why would anyone vote for him? It’s impossible to comprehend from UK, as are the stupid lies about our government which is simply doing all it can to stop racist violence. What is wrong with that?
English

Next stop on our travels: Las Vegas.
Governor @Tim_Walz and I look forward to rallying with Nevadans and letting them know we are fighting on behalf of ALL Americans.

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

@reformrevoltuk @LeeAndersonMP_ Try harder. There’s no apostrophe in that version of “its”. It’s easy if you try thinking.
English

@georgebernhard @paulmasonnews I prefer a complete absence of racist thugs. There’s a lot of stuff I’d prefer, but we’re stuck with what we have. I’d prefer the real villains to be properly held to account. They are pretty easy to identify but hard to make accountable.
English

@paulmasonnews Ceteris paribus, I prefer stupid racist thugs over smart ones.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

@dorfman_p Good can come out of this: Trump's golf course may also disappear.
