Farage and Reform are responsible for tricking many people with their NHS and economic benefit promises ...

Now they try the same on climate after taking fossil fuel industry donations!

Over 55,000 people have called on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights, standing against a reckless push to repeat the mistakes of Brexit. Today their names were handed in, a reminder that this country still believes in cooperation, justice and the rule of law.

Tx for sharing this, haven't seen it in ages, delightfully pertinent.

What does it say? 👇
✅ Companies adhere to international agreements, just like everyone else.
✅ Polluters pay, and going green pays off.
✅ Citizens receive a helping hand.

Government has approved enough clean energy to power 7.5 million homes Government approves Tillbridge Solar Farm, a major new solar project.

UK approves UK’s largest solar farm (in Reform UK heartland Lincolnshire)

- "Solar is our cheapest source of energy - it’s no wonder it's Britain’s favourite" says Paul Morozzo at @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social

Lovely, curious twist for the UK frog-face ?

Comments on the original made me smile.

Over 90% of Reform funding comes from the fossil fuel industry.

Draw your own conclusions people ...

I dream of the distraction of divisive politics ending, so we can focus on the real challenges and start to discuss how to proceed.

"The West is not doing Ukraine a favour by helping it resist aggression; it is Ukraine doing the West a favour."

Fundamental point in @ldfreedman.bsky.social's latest. The true 'realist' position on Ukraine is that we should support Ukraine.

I believe this rationale is part of why members of Citizen’s Climate Europe support the Climate Income policy in our advocacy.

Morally it taxes the destructive behaviour of the wealthy and treats everyone equally.

A fair and effective climate policy (modest wealth tax)

IEA: Renewables have cut fossil-fuel imports for more than 100 countries - Carbon Brief More than 100 countries have cut their dependence on fossil-fuel imports and saved hundreds of billions of dollars by continuing to invest in renewables

Renewables have cut fossil-fuel imports for more than 100 countries, saving hundreds of billions of dollars, report @iea.org

FACTCHECK: Claire Coutinho claims UK gas power only costs £55/MWh…

…but she is ignoring a few small details:

🤫 Gas prices always rise in winter
🤫 Gas plants cost money to build
🤫 CO2 causes economic damages

There's good reason why the oil and gas industry lobbies so hard for carbon capture - because it's the one 'climate solution' that wouldn't necessarily require shutting down the oil and gas industry

But it doesn't work. They need to be shut down

Is one idiot is more credible than another idiot when they both suggest jumping off a cliff, but predict different time spans for acquiring the power of flight.

Analysis: Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015 - Carbon Brief UK's energy bills were £22bn higher over the past decade than they would have been if Conservative governments had not cut “green crap” climate policies.

Good Grief - when will these idiots and tricksters give up promoting snake oil.

When the Tories under Cameron "cut the Green crap" it cost the UK £22Bn over a decade. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cut...

Agree. Curiously you have a better graph option.
From 70k you get 10k in 19 days, the next 10k in 10 days. Plot the numbers over time and you have accelerating membership. Graph would be prettier with the 75k data point.
At least for now.
Great result. Do maths better.

Which parties in the UK are warming up with similar authoritarian lies, what evidence are we being asked to reject ?

Renewables bad - fossil fuels good !

Human rights bad (ECHR) - less rights good !

good for who ?

EU countries prove more renewables make electricity cheaper.

Electricity pricing in the UK (as across all of Europe) is complex.

Renewables reduce the cost of electricity, the more renewables we have, the more prices will reduce.

The more we electrify, the more we reduce emissions.

Independent media reporting on British values ❤️

A key piece of understanding about the the energy we need vs the waste energy and pollution that fossil fuels create.

We are in the foothills of a solar-wind-battery civilisation. This is our best chance of avoiding catastrophe. But it threatens the profits of fossil fuel companies & nations - so these are pouring money into right-wing populism to stop the transition. This seems to me the biggest story in politics.

Complete fan of going as fast as possible on renewable energy and exiting fossil fuels as fast as possible.

The 2 charts suggest that getting fossil below a certain % threshold is the key to cost reduction impact.

Otherwise you would have Netherlands with biggest cost reduction ?

REFUK and Tories solving energy prices 🤣🤣🤣

Similar to how they fixed the NHS and the economy with brexit.

The brexit party ...

“You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

Their strategy rolls on: ECHR, ILR, DOGE, Climate denial, ...

time to wake up and smell the coffee

It’s quite normal for legacy (fossil fuel) industries to delay superior solutions.

The more we realise who their servants are, the better armed we are to choose what will inevitably be cleaner and cheaper.

Especially if we can do it in time for our economy to compete in this new world.

Great podcast, straightforward facts dispelling common misconceptions propagated by mainstream media.

Plus clear steps to improve the reality for everyone about the immigration our country needs.
