I'm pretty sure that no one on Bluesky need be reminded that Twitter is broken and is now the plaything of a rich man - that's why we moved. If you haven't already - leave Twitter and delete your account.

Important points made but please, I beg you, drop the background music. I can't be the only one who struggles to listen to people speak when music is playing. It's not necessary and only serves to distract.

Declaration: International Aviation Climate Ambition Coalition

Lots of passive words in this "Declaration: International Aviation Climate Ambition Coalition".

"Emphasising", "Supporting", "Promoting"...

Will anything actually be done?

Screenshot from Daily Telegraph article quoting Reform UK's Richard Tice as saying that 'spiralling cost of retirement packages a greater threat to the economy than climate change'

According to Tice pensions a greater threat than climate change🤦‍♂️

If instead the Earl had invented sturdy boots and Arthur Wellesley had invented the sliced bread meal, then we'd be wearing sandwiches on our feet and eating BLT Wellingtons.

It feels wrong to 'like' this post. There's nothing to like here.

I guess partly because they're scared of getting kicked out of the press pool and replaced by sycophants

I love how the US ambassador feels comfortable telling the UK how it must run its energy policy. This coming from a country led by a man who thinks climate change is a 'con job'.

How about committing to cease flights if emission targets aren't met?

Unlike oil at least with minerals for EVs they can be recycled
