I didn’t ever think it was the β€œprimary issue”. For me, the two primary issues are MMCC and global nuclear war. What are your primary issues?

Green Party members, if we have to drive cars, should set a self-imposed top speed of 50mph on national roads (unless signed for less of course) and 60 on M’ways. Saves about 17% of fuel compared to top speed, and is safer and more relaxing #ClimateAction

14. The air they bring is warmer (see 3 above) and so can carry more water vapour, so more rain
15. The pattern in 7 persists due to a β€œblocking high” over Scandinavia and Eastern Russia

This is a highly simplified 16 point explanation of the extremely grey and wet weather we Brits have experienced at the beginning of 2026

1. Earth has a greenhouse effect
2. Humans have been increasing the greenhouse effect
3. Earth is warming
4. Arctic is warming faster than more southerly airοΏΌ

In individual psychology it is a well established principle of anger management that clients must learn to be aware of the early warning signs of an outburst of anger. To apply this successfully to politics, we must be able to identify the main causes of war, and address them in their early stages.

PREVENTION OF WARS IN 2025 A View of War as Political Insanity β€œWars do not usually result from just causes but from pretexts. There probably never was a just cause...

Nothing comes of nihilism, and if we do nothing about wars, there may be nothing left of human civilisation, or indeed, of the human species. greenerblog.blogspot.com/2025/06/prev...

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social George is a smart lad. The BBC has platformed Farage, it has never held him to account.

Epstein's correspondence frequently referenced young women and girls from Russia, indicating a pattern of interest that aligns with the profiles of individuals often associated with intelligence operations. 5/5

Some sources speculate that Epstein may have acted as an intelligence asset for Russian authorities. This speculation arises from his connections and the nature of his dealings with various Russian individuals.

The name of Russian President Vladimir Putin appears in over a thousand documents related to Epstein. Epstein claimed to have declined an invitation to meet Putin at a conference in St. Petersburg in 2013, although no evidence suggests they ever met 3/

AI search results on if Epstein was Russian asset:

Epstein had notable interactions w Sergei Belyakov, former Deputy Minister of Economic Development in Russia, a graduate of the FSB Academy, reportedly assisted Epstein in dealing with a Russian model involved in blackmailing American businessmen.

The thing about the Epstein Files is that it is not just about pedophilia; it is a window into the world of the ultra-rich elite, their dealings, entitlement and amorality.

And Farage, via Bannon, is shown to serve as a mouthpiece for this disgusting alternative world

Thanks to amazing team who came canvassing in Denton with me today - we had a lot of fun & fab reception on the doorsteps πŸ™‚. And if anyone is still (weirdly) thinking of voting Labour - one more Labour backbencher will make no difference - the first Green MP from Manchester would be transformative πŸ’ͺ

It’s called β€œgainsaying”. It is not science.

FFL have no scientific explanation of what is happening to our planet beyond β€œnatural variability”.

That is why the No Net Zero case put forward by Farage and Tice should not be taken seriously.

Instead of providing coherent body of evidence that explains the present rapid global heat gain without involving human changes to Earth’s greenhouse effect, fossil fuel lobbyists (FFL) just put forward critical talking points. As soon as one of these is dealt with they move on to the next. 5/

The fossil fuel lobby have no explanation of present rapid changes in Earth’s heat beyond β€œnatural variation”. They have no coherent, detailed explanations of climate dynamics, no new body of evidence published in peer-reviewed journals. Just a quantity of critical talking points.
