RT: @ProfBillMcGuire Today I, and other UK climate scientists, sent an open letter to the Energy Secretary, Miatta Fahnbulleh, asking her to take serious note of the science when making a decision about the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil fields
@energygovuk @Miatfs
Climate breakdown isn't just costing lives, it's scorching our economy.
We need to redesign our economy for a hotter climate, and make oil and gas firms pay.

RT: @TomLondon6 Yes, see BELOW
Last week @ZackPolanski held a news conference about the #climatecrisis. Four others also spoke: a former military man about the climate & national security; a doctor about the climate and dangers to life & health; a fireman about the challenges for fire service & society from fires; @ChrisGPackham about nature & all our futures
@BBCNews simply IGNORED IT
Why, BBC? It is SHAMEFUL, particularly right now

RT: @TheGreenParty "The climate crisis is stretching the fire service long before it makes headlines" - James Rodgers, London Firefighter
It should be a national priority to properly equip UK firefighters and ensure their safety as wildfires rage across the country.
No more cuts.
RT: @TheGreenParty Reform’s leaders peddle rhetoric around climate change denial. Their councils act on it.
Last month, Reform-run Suffolk County Council scrapped its climate emergency declaration.
Now, as a wildfire tears through the county, we are seeing exactly why climate action should not be abandoned.

Seems lots of experts agree with @ZackPolanski.
An ‘unliveable planet’ sounds worse than WW2 to me…

RT: @Shambles151 Andy Burnham has still not lifted Yvette Cooper's proscription which sees thousands of good people arrested as terrorists just for holding placards.
Please RT this until the Labour Govt which inflicted it (but incredibly still expects our votes) - lifts it.
Thank you.
More unbelievable is that I've asked Sadiq Khan several times over years whether the government should nationalise Thames Water and he's never said "Yes."
So less hand wringing and more change.

RT: @LeicesterWorker Green leader Zack Polanski has backed a campaign for a fundamental overhaul of Britain’s media ownership, in order to prevent billionaires buying newspapers in order to “literally buy democracy”. - @BylineTimes
RT: @fbunational In the last 48 hours, we've seen major wildfires in Nottinghamshire, Hampshire, South Wales, and Suffolk.
This is not bad luck. This is climate change, and firefighters are on the frontline.
RT: @Feargal_Sharkey "Why has my Thames Water bill been hiked by 30% overnight?"
Easy. Because the owners have taken over £3bn in dividends out of the company, over £2.2bn in loans, left the company almost £14bn in debt & with a pension fund deficit of nearly £400mn.

Ten trade unions have called for Andy Burnham to oppose the war on Iran & stop British bases being used to launch US air strikes.

This has nothing to do with boosting the economy for the people of this country & far more to do with boosting obscene profits for fossil fuel companies & shareholders” 🔥 @ZackPolanski https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce85ng9vj90o
RT: @Chrisviews43 @ZackPolanski is absolutely right on this.
We pay for the @BBCNews to inform us, yet if Farage says something about migrants, the BBC and Sky News can spend days treating Reform’s fantasy politics like it is the biggest issue facing the country.
Meanwhile, climate change, one of the biggest threats to our national security and our future, barely gets anything like the same attention.
And here is the irony. The media constantly tells us to fear migration, but if we continue ignoring climate change, we could see migration on a scale never seen before. This time it might be us looking for somewhere safer to live.
I am sick of being fed a divisive narrative simply because Farage says something and the MSM decides it must therefore be important.
Zack is right to call this out. Journalism should be challenging nonsense and informing us about the real threats ahead, not helping one politician decide what the country should be angry about this week.
