This is absolute madness. Carbon capture and storage has failed time and again. Labour has slashed reliable green programmes, to pour vast sums of our money into a complete crock. The only possible explanation is lobbying by fossil fuel companies.🧵 theguardian.com/environment/…

I'm just baffled by so much mainstream political, strategic and economic thinking, which totally excludes the climate and ecological crisis, as if it's trivial. The reality is it is going to change everything. Change is coming, whether you like it or not. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Just look at the appalling dangerous driving children in Birmingham encounter on their way to & from school every day. Shockingly this is happening at a zebra crossing in Tysley where a 3 year old girl was killed in 2021. @for_birmingham

❌ We NEVER want to see a sign like this ever again. ❌ The next government has the power to make that happen. They can end the need for food banks.

Frrm first hand experience, allowing governments to mark their own homework on climate progress is not a good idea. We have not got this climate thing in the bag folks. That's difficult for politics. The planet doesn't care about that... theguardian.com/world/articl…
