SLEEPING ON THE JOB: Ahead of #COP30, Oxfam staged a Big Heads protest in Belem, Brazil to call out rich nations for their climate inaction❗️ After nearly three decades of climate talks, COP30 must not be another summit of lip service. The richest countries and the richest people must be held accountable. Wealthy nations must submit ambitious climate plans based on their fair share and pay up the climate finance they owe. #makerichpolluterspay

Last winter, DFS was used 44 times and proved itself as a competitive balancing tool for Britain’s electricity network. 🏠See how the world leading service reduced or shifted enough electricity use over winter to power the equivalent of 12.7 million homes for an hour. 👇

This NASA visualization shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North. There is not time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

@SPE_OE @Shell Shell have flip-flopped on #OffshoreWind so many times…divested London Array…slowing down on Scotwind…stoping future renewables development #ShameOnYou #ShellKnew #ClimateEmergency Making excessive profit from the fuel poor and British tax payers..

Have you been to visit @Shell in Hall 2 at #OE23 yet? Learn about their Powering Progress UK strategy which focuses on supplying the energy the UK needs right now

Here’s one company not worried about energy bills. The Shell oil company offices in central London, by the Thames. No sign of life behind any of the windows but almost every floor appears to be fully illuminated.

@HereBeProof @XR_BSE @AdamBienkov @RachelReevesMP @greenarteries Even for a large offshore wind turbine the emissions caused by its manufacture and installation take much less than one operating year to “pay back” then a lifetime of carbon reduction.

@AdamBienkov @RachelReevesMP @greenarteries Meanwhile...how much extra carbon will be ejected into the atmosphere with all the extraction, manufacture, transport and use of the construction materials... theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Rachel Reeves asked about whether the Government will actually invest any more public money in building homes, replies, "We need the private sector to build homes. We're not going to be in the business of building those homes directly".

#Dogsatpollingstations Glasgow North - Lily bracing herself for a long night!

@VotingDogs Glasgow North :-)

@James_BG And bill payers will be funding it for 35 years under the bespoke CFD that was not subject to a competitive auction…

That ‘fastest rate in 70 years’ in full: - A project that’s a decade late + over budget - A second project which still doesn’t have financing in place - Some SMRs that haven’t been selected, approved or financed - A third project that got shelved and may or may not be revived

We’ve built half a nuclear power plant that may or may not eventually be open by 2030, over a decade later than planned.

How volunteers are building a cycle network a yard at a time - what a wonderful story theguardian.com/environment/ar…

@tonywatson54 @implausibleblog Not to mention all the sexual assaults, groping, fiddling, dic-pics….i’ve lost count of the by-elections…

@implausibleblog Yes, don't mention 👇 Austerity Brexit Johnson Breaking politics ppe fraud Pandemic deaths Sex scandals Truss Cost of living crisis NHS waiting lists No GPs No Dentists Highest NHS waiting lists Highest taxes & borrowing

David Cameron, "You've got a Labour party that is just praying that people don't look at what the Conservative party has done under Rishi Sunak, and they sort of think about Prime Minister Liz Truss that only lasted 49 days, and the problems, and all the rest of it" David Cameron just dismissed the impact Conservative PM who Liz Truss crashed the economy, nearly trashed pensions, and has seen mortgages rise for millions.

@afneil …and demand shifting too… energylocal.org.uk

Tonight, despite our massive wind capacity, the turbines are generating only 5% of our electricity needs. Gas is providing 46% and nuclear 18%. Of course there are plenty of times when wind provides much more. But on a coldish night like tonight when it’s only 5%, if we had no gas or nukes, where would the power come from?

@dsear_pda @Adamski250567 @afneil This is how the electricity grid is managed…30 minute periods. This system of 30 minute periods has kept the lights on for decades…

@Adamski250567 @afneil 30 minute periods 😂😂😂😂🤡

@DrSimEvans @Jennife15046404 Wind is not unreliable. We predict (pretty accurately) what we can produce each half hour period of every day. This reliable generation then allows the grid engineers to balance the grid.

Andrew knows perfectly well what the answer to this is, because it's been explained to him repeatedly At this point his bleating about low wind periods, which –surprise!– actual grid engineers do know about, just looks like wilful ignorance

Love this…we need more fact checking :-) (And less BS)

Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing ‘devastating’ tipping point, study finds. 😞 the most important question (not asked or answered) is whether this tipping point is now baked in or can it be reversed (and what would that take) ? theguardian.com/environment/20…

@EYAlliance A £6.5m campaign….what’s the cash being spent on? Interested to know how many £1000 grants there are - or is most of this being spent on ad agency fees and management consultants??

The government has today launched its early years recruitment campaign which includes a the trial £1,000 cash incentive for new joiners across 20 local authorities bit.ly/491xANA

@CarolineLucas @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer the last reason I had to vote Labour has disappeared. The cost of doing nothing (£, social, poverty, health) is so high you are nuts to water down your green policies 😞

If this is answer then Starmer is asking wrong question. It’s fiscally irresponsible NOT to invest in climate action - economic, social & env costs of breaching 1.5 limit are eye watering. This is exactly why more Green MPs are so vital in next Parliament theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

@Telegraph We’ve had this service in Scotland since 2020…why has it taken so long for England and @RishiSunak @Conservatives to decide to do this? 👀 electioneering not caring reasons???
