Physicist. If your politics requires you to reject basic physics, your politics is a fantasy ignorance cult. Surrendering your capacity to learn isn't freedom.

Isnโ€™t it great that weโ€™re celebrating David Attenboroughโ€™s 100th birthday whilst ignoring the message heโ€™s spent the last 20 years trying to get through to us:

In a new article, @S_VanTeutem and Joe Hasell give a sense of the scale of global inequality โ€” and explain how those of us living in rich countries find ourselves in an extraordinary position to do good. ourworldindata.org/global-inโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s โ€™just some weatherโ€™ in Portugal. People who deny climate science are every bit as deranged as anti vax conspiracists.

If we reach 1.5ยฐC, this is what is going to happen: โ€ผ๏ธEvery fraction of a degree mattersโ€”beyond 1.5ยฐC, the risks and damages from extreme weather, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss increase dramatically. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

The fact that no one cares about this will forever be a mystery to me. Stupidity? Cognitive dissonance? Evil? IDK. But it really pisses me off that the people doing nothing are taking all of us - and all species - with them. ๐Ÿคฌ apnews.com/article/climate-uโ€ฆ

Many petitions and campaigns to ban artificial grass, for residential use, childrens play areas, sports, or in town centres. All pollute, overheat, harm our environment and do nothing for nature. Rubber has to be replaced as it migrates into soil and water ways.

The Times caught out totally mangling facts on costs of climate inaction. Thanks @DrSimEvans for getting to the truth: โ€œInstead, it was the impact of NOT cutting emissions that the OBR had found would be "far more damaging than thought"
MEDIA STUDIES: How the Times bungled its coverage of the OBR report on climate change & UK govt debt Yesterday's newspaper reported a major shift: "The OBR now thinksโ€ฆnet-zero will have a far more damaging impact on borrowingโ€ฆ" In fact, the OBR had said the opposite! 1/6

I live in a country that gives military support to another country which is killing thousands of civilians while proscribing an organisation which protests about it.

This article will soon be illegal. Designating Palestine Action a terrorist organisation on an equal footing with ISIS is a grotesque attack on democracy. It's those who facilitated genocide who should be on trial. Piece for @The_NewArab ๐Ÿ‘‡ newarab.com/opinion/if-palesโ€ฆ

Independent experts today urged the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง not to ban the โ€œdirect actionโ€ group @Pal_action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000. โ€œActs of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as #terrorism.โ€

Extracting #peat destroys one of our best carbon stores and trashes a unique, biodiverse habitat. Doing so to grow pretty flowers is hugely selfish. Ever heard of the climate and ecology crisis? Come on, @The_RHS , show some spine!
