Ok, You've GOT to be kidding me! The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list, who are responsible for all of it - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...? So incredulity aside, what about the list itself? Let's go Debunking! (I’ve written and tried posting this twice now and X is playing silly buggers so be patient as I might have to post it tweet by tweet😩) 1/24

With thanks to @RealWorldVis for this new animation on the Global Carbon Budget @gcarbonproject to coincide with the end of the UN Bonn Climate Change Conference. Time is running out for the deep carbon emissions cuts we need to avert a climate crisis and 1.5C global warming:

Must apologise. Last night I questioned why the humourless repeat #bbcqt guest Konstantin Kisin described himself as a "satirist". This morning I read this. Brilliant.

Climate change conversations during live commentary of tonight’s @ManUtd vs @ReadingFC football match because of the ‘warming stripes’ sleeves design on the Reading kit. Thank you @sammatterface & @itvfootball.

Wall Street banks are set to hit a trillion dollars in profit over the past decade. Meanwhile, the net worth of middle-class families continues to decline. Folks, this is unsustainable.

In 2022, why are we still chopping down giant old Tasmanian trees like this? This tree wasn’t even used. It was just left on the forest floor. Bob Brown walking on top of this stump gives you an idea of how big and old this tree was.

If you blended all 7.88 billion ppl on Earth into a fine goo (density of a human=985 kg/m3, average human body mass=62 kg), you would end up with a sphere of human goo just under 1 km wide. This is a visualization of how that would look like in Central Park. © reddit/kiwi2703

At the NRA Convention someone told us that hammers are used to kill more people than guns. So we looked up the stats in front of them.

Ignore for a moment the eye-watering Dublin prices - look at the CO2 labelling..... Would this influence what you would order?
