"We found that the overall upfront cost to replace all energy in the 145 countries which emit 99.7% of world CO2 is about $62 trillion. "However, due to $11 trillion annual energy cost savings, the payback time for the new system is less than 6 years." thehill.com/opinion/energy…

Need a fair plan for how we get out of the upcoming economic mess that will impact millions of people? This long thread has some reasonable ideas.

🚨 SHOCKING: Top Conservative donor Lord Frost has openly called offshore wind turbines "medieval technology" and urged the next Prime Minister not to "hector" people on the need to "save the planet". Renewables aren't medieval, but thinking climate change isn't serious is.

My dancing is pretty awful. But it seems my #raindance might have made mother nature smile. Rain! Finally!

📢 Conservationists, farmers and cattle ranchers are working together in Chiapas, Mexico, to bring 2.5 million hec of land into #sustainable schemes, to restore #soilhealth, store #carbon, free up conservation land, and keep rural jobs. Me for Mongabay: news.mongabay.com/2022/08/regene…

In the US, public policy does not represent the views of 90% of voters. I'm guessing a similar study in the UK would show the same result. Make Votes Matter - would #PR rather than #FPTP really change this?

Coca Cola is the single largest plastic polluter in the world— at over 3 million tonnes of plastic packaging each year. Now Coke is sponsoring the world's largest climate conference (#COP27), in a desperate attempt to greenwash their legacy of ecocide.

I have done a lot of Twitter threads of late on how worrying almost everything about the UK economy is, and for good reason. But I think it’s only fair to do one that says it really need not be like this. Read on….

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this. Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.

4. What is their consumption-based per capita footprint? This adjusts for emissions embedded in traded goods.

In that case, no one should welcome quantitative tightening: it is a weapon being used by the Bank of England to harm the people of this country. Economics rarely comes much nastier or more deceitful than this.

Climate change capitalists are blocking roads with their "Just Flood London" campaign. Disgusting, but where are the police?
