Well done... keep hammering away on the climate crisis. It's by far the most important issue we've ever faced.
With the twin global climate and biodiversity crises we are on the brink of extinction but push ahead regardless with business as usual. We are almost certainly beyond the point of no return. Born 320ppm CO2... currently 427ppm

Well done... keep hammering away on the climate crisis. It's by far the most important issue we've ever faced.
So yes, let's see the advice and if it says she only has to pay the lower amount of stamp duty then she's in the clear. Always assuming she told the advisor the flat was never intended to be her main home...
In times gone by that would be a resignation letter... these days deliberately dodging tax is acceptable for politicians.
Hope surges on the crest of the waves... then fades with the ebbing tide.
You must have big reservations if you voted for the other two...
No, unfortunately nothing will change.
That should definitely be 100%..
She's a complete idiot...🥴
You should know by now that the BBC are part of the problem. They are a part of the establishment order that is doing everything to maintain business as usual.
Surely she will be replaced soon...
Conservatives UK “It is time that common sense, economic growth and our national interest came first, and only the Conservatives will deliver that. We are going to get all our oil and gas out of the North Sea.” There is no economic growth on a dead planet www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
We need to stop flushing the loo and watering our gardens with drinking quality water and instead harvest rainwater. Provide 500L water butts for every domestic property.
... and governments all around the world do nothing. The next few years of indecision will probably be decisive!
MSM are firmly aligned with the establishment order and business as usual.
Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low likelihood, study finds - Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic impacts #climatecrisis #AMOC www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Please explain why standing charges for gas have increased by 15%...!!
BBC are part of the problem where the establishment and big business link up to control mainstream media to ensure there's no disruption to business as usual.
I'm looking forward to the episode on the role of the fossil fuel industry and how they are responsible for 75% of global warming...
It would be good to get a response from @thecccuk.bsky.social
... having served less than 30% of her 31 month sentence.
"The rate at which humans are now injecting CO2 into the oceans & atmosphere far surpasses the planet’s ability to keep pace. We're now at the initial stages of a system failure. If we keep at it for much longer, we might see what actual failure really means." www.theguardian.com/environment/...
A good example of the Jevons paradox...

Did I miss the bit on addressing the climate crisis?
Your 'doom quote' for today: "this faction [of doomers] ... believe that, whatever scientists may or may not say, the world is not going to eliminate its emissions and halt global heating because the politics of climate change are impossible" www.amazon.com/Language-Cli...
Politicians are part of the wider capitalist system which is tied to evermore economic growth and consumption of finite resources. Clearly nothing will change until the entire system changes. I suspect we are locked into the current system which is creating the destabilisation of life on Earth...
Yet another report that everyone will ignore as we carry on with business as usual... what a pantomime 🥴
...and did you talk about the role of the fossil fuel industry?
That sure is a powerful movement and I have tremendous respect for the efforts of all involved...
And it's too late baby now it's too late Though we really did try to make it...
How about Carole King... It's Too Late?
It should be clear by now that we aren't capable of addressing the climate crisis...we are racing to extinction.
Nothing will change...we are racing to extinction.
France, 2015: World leaders pledge to keep warming below 1.5C. (World leaders spend a decade subsidising the fossil fuel industry with $TRILLIONS & do nothing as temperatures surge past 1.5C for a whole year) France, 2025:
All the evidence so far suggests the latter...☹️
Good to have you back.. 🤗
Warning after dire warning yet we carry on with business as usual. We are racing to extinction...
I wonder if they still insure oil and gas operations...?
The never ending pursuit of economic growth is at the heart of the global climate crisis.
How about arriving with blank card and pen... would that be deemed going equipped to commit an act of terrorism?
What a shocking misuse and abuse of state power. This government demonstrates almost daily that it is clearly unfit for office...
When it comes to addressing the climate crisis it's clear that the BBC and mainstream media in general are part of the problem.
... what on earth have we unleashed? 😱
They seem to be fighting a losing battle on many fronts...a big majority but these two are just not up to the job.
Boycott produce from Israel...
The worst and most probable case is that we keep going as we are, triggering total collapse. But the message in plain terms? We are running out of time faster than we think, because the danger was underestimated from the start. www.collapse2050.com/james-hansen...
This lot are worse than the previous lot. Trust in politics is at an all time low.
It's not so much the cost of hotels but rather the huge numbers of fossil fuel lobbyists... The whole process is now a complete joke.
To be fair though she won't be watching MasterChef tonight...
As the Clock Winds Down The ice caps melt The Amazon burns To the point of no return The grid goes down Screens go blank We’ll be walking down the plank
🥳😂
...and then we can expect the collapse of the global food chain and global economy.
Rough cost per household would be £3,000 so x 28 million homes we are looking at around £80bn. Of course this would never be acceptable to the powerful nuclear power lobby who advise (some would say control) our government.
"The source of current trajectory towards societal collapse are large, psychopathic corporations & groups which produce global catastrophic risk "Nuclear weapons, climate change, AI, are only produced by v small number of secretive, v wealthy, powerful groups" www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Unfortunately our government is controlled by the powerful fossil fuel industry so we should not expect to see much reduction in energy from oil and gas.
Humanity is a part of nature so everything we do must be natural in the same way that lions kill zebras. Therefore I guess it must be natural for us to exploit and destroy everything around us 🤔
Our capitalist system is not only fueled by the relentless destruction of living systems, it has also severed us from nature to such an extent that most people are unaware they’re living through the most rapid extinction event in the 4 BILLION year history of this planet.
Surely no surprise given they are the biggest lenders listed in the UK to the fossil fuel industry...
The world’s fourth-largest economy, California, is generating power using 40% less natural gas than it did two years ago “If you wanna know why the fossil fuel industry is freaking out and sponsoring every bad politician on Earth, that's why.”
It "functions more as an ideological manifesto than a legitimate scientific review. Its release marks a low point in the politicization of federal climate science... This is not how science is done. This is how propaganda is packaged." @climatechris.bsky.social takes down this dangerous new 💩:
How on earth did we manage to install such a clueless bunch...🥴
This so called Labour Party doesn't make sense... they are worse than the dysfunctional lot they replaced.
the us government spends roughly '$646 billion every single year' on oil and gas subsidies but go on....
Define abject systemic failure: The fact the fossil fuel industry has KNOWN it is driving humanity to extinction since 1954, but in 2025 is ALLOWED to ignore scientists & just carry on drilling to enrich shareholders, & is then gifted $TRILLIONS in taxpayer subsidies to do so.
Don't think much of this home secretary... this legislation just about sums up this dysfunctional and cowardly government. No connection with ordinary people and in the pocket of big businesses and especially the fossil fuel industry.
If the police arrest me for this, it's a direct attack on the expression of opinion: ie on free speech. But the Terrorism Act is so madly oppressive and loosely framed that I have no idea which side of it I'm on. And I suspect it's the same for them.
Your 'moment of doom' for July 25, 2025 ~ Choking on hope. "We are not facing a distant environmental threat. We are living through the sixth mass extinction. It’s not a prediction anymore—it is a present reality, unfolding at an unprecedented pace and scale." vocal.media/earth/climat...
K or L...
Agreed but that's not what I was asking...
How does current solar generation compare with coal?
There's no point.. the whole political system is corrupt and controlled by big business and especially the fossil fuel industry.
Any new party will always struggle to make headway with our FPTP voting system...as the Green Party have experienced over the past 50 years!
There will be no returns as the project will never be completed.
I think this would be the case for whichever particular party came to power. Big business and particularly the fossil fuel industry will ensure there is no disruption to business as usual... which is why there's no meaningful progress in addressing the climate crisis for example.
Your 'moment of doom' for July 23, 2025 ~ The planet where it happened. "When energy, food and water all go at once, societies start to unravel. That is the new normal we need to be ready for." aljazirahnews.com/climate-chan...
The decision to go ahead with £38bn Sizewell C will result in higher bills for everyone.
I seem to remember the Labour government nationalised Railtrack in the late 1990s with no compensation to shareholders...Byers was the transport secretary.
I hope you will include the significant risks to the global economy from the climate crisis in a future episode...
... scandal
It's utterly mad. These people are the opposite of terrorists. THEY WANT PEACE. The police know they're not terrorists. The government knows they're not terrorists. Yet, on the Home Secretary's orders, they're being arrested under the Terrorism Act. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Unfortunately this sort of thing will only provide short term relief unless we swiftly phase out fossil fuels... and I really don't see any signs of that happening.
Drax is the UK's largest renewable power station. It also has higher carbon emissions than the six largest gas power plants. Data from @ember-energy.org
We have a climate crisis... please don't promote these polluting activities...
It's obvious what must happen...we should quickly phase out fossil fuels...but of course we won't.
The Quadrature Climate Foundation, with which Kyte is affiliated, is tied to Quadrature Capital—a Cayman Islands-based hedge fund known for investing in fossil fuel companies...
5 Don't watch it: don't care
Maybe better to replace the water company executives with fatbergs...
I guess in a democracy a political party can set out their stall and then see if the public vote for them. If it's true that most people are in favour of renewables and a sustainable future then Reform won't get many seats at the general election.
The guy has 19 followers... don't waste your time on these types.
Just over a year back you were advocating tactical voting to ensure a Labour victory...now what?
So the obvious question... what's the main reasons for not phasing out our use of fossil fuels? Is big business and the FF industry just too powerful?
We shouldn't be surprised by this when year after year we refuse to address the climate crisis...
Main stream media is a big factor... there's hardly any serious coverage of the global climate crisis.
Just wondering when we'll get an article about the extinction of humans... not that anything much will change of course.
Just stick with the glasses, much easier...
Of course nothing will change. We are literally racing to extinction...
Today's X Poll: Are you more or less concerned about the human impact on climate change than you were five years ago? 1️⃣ More concerned 2️⃣ Same 3️⃣ Less concerned 📊 Show results
We get warning after warning from the climate scientists but they are completely ignored as we continue with business as usual. There's no attempt to phase out fossil fuels which are responsible for 75% of warming. Our young children and grandchildren have no future so obviously I am very concerned.
...and judge the government that continues to support the oil and gas industry with billions in subsidies and tax breaks every year.
Ha, no worries on that!!
