Difficult to imagine why media companies owned by multi millionaires and billionaires have been so keen to promote false stories about wealth taxes.
Let's stop this nonsense.

Tune out the blah blah. This right here is why the climate crisis continues unabated and why we will cross 2ΒΊC
Emissions MUST fall by 5.5% THIS year and EVERY year thereafter until 2030 if we are to stand a remote chance of staying below 2ΒΊC - there is ABSOLUTELY no sign of this level of reduction.
I'm hosting this event tomorrow night at #SXSWLondon. Come along

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the worldβs 4th largest power source.
In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripledβfrom 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up.

100 years from now people will be baffled.
Graphic showing how vehicle front design affects pedestrian deaths.
βVehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians. Vehicles with especially tall front ends are most dangerous to pedestrians, but a blunt profile makes medium-height vehicles deadly too.β
Deadly by design. And they know it.
