🚨🚨 Mackerel on the brink!
Years of #overfishing by the UK and others mean it’s no longer a sustainable choice, says the Good Fish Guide. 🐟❌
We need science-backed catch limits NOW, not when it’s too late. 1/2

@julian_voelcker@stesmithy48@ChrisGPackham So which part specifically don't you think is correct?
Actual science does acknowledge the last interglacial period. How do you think we know there was one?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you really are daft.
Stop wasting my time. Good night.
You do like your propaganda. Good luck with your beliefs. It is the likes of Carbon Brief and IPCC's job to perpetuate the Climate Change agenda, without it they wouldn't exist.
That article is pure speculation on top of speculation. Any actual science will acknowledge the warming from the last ice age and the very cold Victorian period when records began - but they don't because it spoils their story.
Like clockwork , as soon as you criticise the fossil fuel companies and executives – out come the lobbyists and shady thinktanks based at and near the infamous SW1 55 Tufton Street .
The Institute of Economic Affairs are just one of a network of fervently anti Net Zero , pro free market groups which lobby for the oil and gas industry in Westminster . In 2018 the IEA admitted receiving funding from BP every year since 1967 .
I did pop by with a poster last week, but no one was in . . .
It’s time to ban fossil fuel ads and sponsorships - sign the petition govpetition.uk/700024
In 1945, six women pulled off a computing miracle.
They programmed the world’s first computer—with no manuals, no training.
Then, a SINGLE assumption erased them from tech history for decades.
The story of how ONE photo nearly deleted computing’s female founders: 🧵
I do understand it and have been looking into it ever since they started to ramp up the agenda 10-20years ago - it didn't pan out then and it doesn't now.
I have asked you basic questions relating to the foundation of your beliefs and you are incapable of answering.
You need to understand that the media are bought and paid for hence everything seems to be blamed on climate change and that opposing views are buried by the search engines, SM platforms, etc, just as they did with COVID.
Once you see the level of control and how much you have been manipulated, things will more sense.
Governments and corporates are pulling back from Net Zero because they recognise the agenda for what it is. It is only the hard line countries in the EU, UK, Aus, NZ, etc, the ones that pushed the covid agenda so hard that are still pushing the climate change, Ukraine, etc agenda.
So going back to your belief in the climate change agenda, with all the scientists apparently lining up to support it, surely there must be a study out there that answers my question about the foundation of the beliefs and quantifies exactly how much influence we have had over the last 150 years?
@julian_voelcker@stesmithy48@ChrisGPackham So you don't understand it and can't be bothered to go and look at the massive amount of scientific research that's been done, but prefer to trot out tired old tropes thinking it makes you look intelligent?
Could try learning something. Could start here.

So with CO2 only at 0.04%, how much of the rise over the last 150 years is supposed to be directly attributable to human activities?
On the other side the temperatures have been rising naturally as we continue to warm after the last ice age and with records starting 150 years ago just after a known very cold period, how much of the recorded 1.1 degree increase is actually attributable to the higher CO2 levels as opposed the natural increases?
The climate change agenda keeps on banging on about these issues, but I have yet to see it properly quantified.
Surely you would have questioned all this or do you just blindly believe what you gave been told?
@julian_voelcker@stesmithy48@ChrisGPackham Don't be daft. As plants grow they lock up more co2 than they respire. See peat bogs.
Re temp. Yes but that's not what's happening now. Read the article. More than one thing can cause the same effect at different times. Warming seas outgassing is a positive feedback loop.
Try reading up on respiration for plants as well as humans - in both cases they emit co2 - plants will consume more CO2 during the day time through photosynthesis, but I don't know how that plays out in winter when there is limited sunlight.
Also the study you quote confirms what I said that the CO2 increases when the oceans warm
@TheFigen_ If you did a little jump off the floor as you walked to the bathroom in an airplane moving 400-500mph, would you smash into the back of the plane? No.
@julian_voelcker@stesmithy48@ChrisGPackham Well none of your statements make a lot of sense and it's not particularly difficult to find out.
Plants don't produce CO2 they use it up and produce oxygen. Look up the carbon cycle about why it matters.

@SittingDuck00@stesmithy48@ChrisGPackham Which bit are you struggling with?
If you have an actual point to make I would be happy to discuss it. You give the impression you know more about it so how about sharing your knowledge in a grown up conversation?
So human activity has created some CO2, so what, so have volcanoes, so do practically all living things from plants to animals.
The main link between CO2 levels and the climate is that the levels increase as a result of a rise in temperature and is not the cause of it as used by those pushing the climate change agenda.
We've focussed on the big names , Shell , Exxon , BP , but these companies are run by people . People who hide behind those brands to keep their anonymity .
These corporations , and their leaders , are committing ecocide and they must be held accountable .
Up until now we've focussed on fossil fuel companies . But companies are made up of people– and these people know that they are working against the interests of all life on earth . They need calling out .
@bdavisrice@David__Osland Which is still less then the real living wage esp. in London.
Tho that hardly supports the case for keeping minimum wage even lower.
How badly will the £12.21 an hour minimum wage damage British business? With me in the studio to discuss this are a £91,000 a year Tory MP, a £200,000 a year rightwing journalist and a chief executive on £4.2m.
@bdavisrice@David__Osland If you can't pay people a living wage to work for you then they are personally investing in the growth of your business and should get share options. If the business goes bust all lose. If you sell it for a profit they get a share too.
@David__Osland Which is fine, but the people on £12.21 don’t see the additional costs. Pension, NI, PPE, corporation tax, onboarding, training, regulatory compliance, heating, lighting, consumable materials, HR costs, insurance, staff perks, potential tribunal costs, sick pay etc
@DanielPriestley@wokebob99 You're right about check you payslip. But it's not the tax you need to look at. How many companies employees are on income support whilst the directors are on £1M + salaries?
That's where the tax is going. Subsidising companies that extract wealth from the country's tax payers.
If it was possible for billionaires to live in the UK without paying tax, they wouldn’t be leaving.
Lakshmi Mital, worth £15B is likely to become a non tax resident in the year ahead after spending the last 30 years adding value to the UK economy.
I dare say this would be a loss of over £100m+ a year to the UK exchequer if he leaves. That will have to be picked up by ordinary taxpayers.

@KrasniNovi@RogerCoppock Population has been pretty stable the last 25 years, yet the curve is accelerating.
Tho it is interesting as there are always several factors.
ALL TIME RECORD EARLIEST CHERRY BLOSSOMS!
Kyoto's first cherry blossoms bloomed on the 21st day of March. This 1 in 10,000 event is part of a 200-year warming trend.
But, people couldn't see cherry blossoms or read calendars before there were satellites. Right, John Shewchuck?
The Standing Charge has tripled since 2021.
Everyone is now spending more on their Standing Charge than 1/3rd of people were paying on their ENTIRE bill 5 years ago.
The ripoff is insane.
