Unite Behind The Science

@julianHjessop When you find yourself a scientific — and moral hole — the first thing you should stop doing is digging.

@ScienceUnite Only relevant if you have a machine to turn back time, which I'm guessing you don't? 🤷‍♂️

Another lame argument against tapping UK oil and gas is that "it would send entirely the wrong message to the rest of the world"... 🤷‍♂️ 1⃣ many saner countries are already doing something similar 2⃣ current policies will just impoverish us further - hardly the "right" message!

@renewablesmiffy You would hope this moment — more than perhaps any — would help people understand how urgent the clean energy transition is…

It shouldn’t really need to be said by now but…… You don’t drill your way out of a global geo political fossil fuel energy crisis History has repeatedly demonstrated this reality to us all but some people still attempt to make you think it is true.

@paulyc197 @joshsimonsmp What a future you — and the relentless demand for more fossil fuels — are building for them.

@ScienceUnite @joshsimonsmp Im actually half way through designing one at the moment to go on my land which is shortly going to be in its finnishing stages ready for build. Not huge or proofed from everything but im going to feel alpt safer with my family in there than id I didn't have one at all.

Excellent news on Rosebank and Jackdaw. Let's crack on. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@RobManess @johnkonrad Are schools, Rob? And hospitals? And desalination plants?

Bridges are targets. Period. Stop whining.

"You don't hit schools, you don't hit energy sources, you don't hit bridges: those are war crimes." UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher criticises actions in the Iran war and says leaders have chosen 'game show gambling' over humanity by hitting civilian infrastructure.

@ClaireCoutinho Hi Claire. There isn’t enough gas in the North Sea to make one bit of difference to UK prices. But you know that already. You just want to drill for your base.

Many of the staunchest climate advocates have admitted: using our own gas is better than importing dirtier gas from far away. Anyone who says otherwise is not a ‘scientist’, they’re a complete and total quack and should not be taken seriously.

@mattwridley You’re starting to grasp this, Matt. The first part is geology and engineering. The second part is a political signal that could encourage — or discourage — other, much larger countries from either drilling for more fossil fuels or accelerating a clean energy transition.

There's not enough oil under the North Sea to affect oil prices... ...But there's enough to destroy the climate. ??

@paulyc197 @joshsimonsmp Glad to hear you’ve built them a bunker.

@ScienceUnite @joshsimonsmp My children will be just fine thanks. So will my childrens children . Ive worked hard enough in my life to make sure of that so honestly all this nonsense doesn't bother me.

BOMBSHELL: CNN's Christiane Amanpour confirms Washington had a real chance for peace, but threw it away to adopt Israel's psychotic "mowing the lawn" strategy. The Trump Administration intentionally chose endless bombing over diplomacy.

65 leading UK scientists warn against new oil and gas drilling in North Sea. They say; * 90% of North Sea reserves have already been extracted and additional production would have little effect on global prices, given the scale of international oil and gas markets. * further drilling will add to greenhouse gas emissions and undermine efforts to limit global warming. *The last 3 years have been the hottest on record.

@claudelittner Claude is a Trustee of @bloodcancer_uk who doesn’t seem to understand that burning fossil fuels releases carcinogens like benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, significantly increases cancer risk — particularly lung, breast, and leukemia. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Finally, Ed's fanatical, farcical, and costly project has been sidelined in favour of economic reality.

@paulyc197 @joshsimonsmp Your children might give a stuff.

@ScienceUnite @joshsimonsmp I am. Doesn't bother me how much it goes up. Im a business and it'll get offset by my tax bill so who really gives a stuff im not loosing 🤣

Israel is now more dangerous than Nazi germany was. A deep ideological hatred of all around them with a desire to seize lands. Fully armed by the West and with legal impunity. Nuclear armed and a total religious supremacist outlook. The most dangerous entity to ever exist.

‘A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history.’ Let that just sink in…

@ZoeJardiniere Inertia is powerful. People who fear progress will believe anything to resist change.

It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel. We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.

@TomTugendhat Is gravity ideology, Tom?

This is ideology masked as science.

@paulyc197 @joshsimonsmp Paul is clinging to his petrol pump. 😂

@ScienceUnite @joshsimonsmp Yes less make more solar panels thatll make it cheaper at the petrol pump 👍🏽

The only difference between your family sleeping in peace and my family waking up to bombs is your geographical luck
