Déjà vu! 1) PM promises £millions for a small CCS scheme (ie. green fudge & sop to the oil &gas sector) 2) BBC Radio 4 Today & Justin Rowlatt fall for the glint of yet more future shiny kit 3) the climate keeps warming! Open the bonnet & CCS is far from green. climateuncensored.com/prime-minister…
I completely agree with Dale Vince and Chris Packham👇🏼Sunak has doubled down on fossil fuels to make his mates in the industry richer while the rest of us go to hell. No doubt he hopes they’ll pay to rebuild his party when we vote them out next year. Let's never have them back!
Dear Jonny Dymond & #bbcwato next time you interview a minister, especially Shapps, on energy security and new oil & gas, please make sure you’re properly prepared
Today, I’m joined by Jon Erickson, Josh Farley, Steve Keen & Kate Raworth - leading educators in heterodox economics - to discuss what conventional economics gets wrong & how its education could improve Jon D. Erickson @profstevekeen Kate Raworth youtu.be/EC11UQD9q3w
BusinessGreen This demonstrates the Orwellian world we’re moving towards when via serious journalism we normalise a narrative that more oil &gas will help the world move towards less oil & gas.

The Limits to Growth: Ecosocialism or Barbarism by Alberto Garzón🔻 remains a favorite essay of mine. It's an essential read, touching on the relationship between production & consumption, degrowth & efficiency, & a clarion call for ecosocialism — or barbarism. monthlyreview.org/2022/07/01/the…
🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM #COP28! 🚨 #Colombia just became the tenth country to join the call for a #FossilFuelTreaty! 🇨🇴 "I have no doubt which position to take: between fossil capital and life, we choose the side of life." 🔥 - Gustavo Petro fossilfueltreaty.org/colombia🧵
“The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has now proposed tripling parking rates for SUVs in central Paris to €18 an hour, and €12/hour for the rest of the city. The measure…would affect roughly 10% of the cars in the city.” Cybertruck isn’t allowed at all. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
On BBC Radio 4 Today speaking on climate change John Kerry claims “the US is living up to its word”. This is not true. The US signed the Paris Agreement; to make its fair contribution to hold to “well below 2°C” & “pursue .. 1.5°C”. Nick Robinson should have picked him up on this!
