Physicist. If your politics requires you to reject basic physics, your politics is a fantasy ignorance cult. Surrendering your capacity to learn isn't freedom.

In a new article, @S_VanTeutem and Joe Hasell give a sense of the scale of global inequality — and explain how those of us living in rich countries find ourselves in an extraordinary position to do good. https://t.co/w2r2pSxNbi

It’s ’just some weather’ in Portugal. People who deny climate science are every bit as deranged as anti vax conspiracists. https://t.co/UcXiYgb9x4

If we reach 1.5°C, this is what is going to happen: ‼️Every fraction of a degree matters—beyond 1.5°C, the risks and damages from extreme weather, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss increase dramatically. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

It’s like we’re living in the first 15 minutes of ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ where there’s crazy weather all over the world, from India to the USA, as politicians dismiss the science, just before civilisation collapses

The fact that no one cares about this will forever be a mystery to me. Stupidity? Cognitive dissonance? Evil? IDK. But it really pisses me off that the people doing nothing are taking all of us - and all species - with them. 🤬 https://t.co/TAvolUEkJw

Many petitions and campaigns to ban artificial grass, for residential use, childrens play areas, sports, or in town centres. All pollute, overheat, harm our environment and do nothing for nature. Rubber has to be replaced as it migrates into soil and water ways.

The Times caught out totally mangling facts on costs of climate inaction. Thanks @DrSimEvans for getting to the truth: “Instead, it was the impact of NOT cutting emissions that the OBR had found would be "far more damaging than thought"
MEDIA STUDIES: How the Times bungled its coverage of the OBR report on climate change & UK govt debt Yesterday's newspaper reported a major shift: "The OBR now thinks…net-zero will have a far more damaging impact on borrowing…" In fact, the OBR had said the opposite! 1/6

This article will soon be illegal. Designating Palestine Action a terrorist organisation on an equal footing with ISIS is a grotesque attack on democracy. It's those who facilitated genocide who should be on trial. Piece for @The_NewArab 👇 https://t.co/ekYbZNB1Cp

Set to designate Palestine Action ’’terrorists’, the UK’s unprecedented crackdown on hard-won freedoms paves the way for authoritarianism, argues Owen Jones.

Independent experts today urged the UK 🇬🇧 not to ban the “direct action” group @Pal_action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000. “Acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as #terrorism.”

Personally, I find genocide way more offensive than how an artist chooses to express their anger, over said genocide.
