Guess which country installed more solar power in 2024 than Canada has in its history? More than the UK did in the last 5 years?
All while dealing with floods, landslides, 50°C heat, droughts and militant attacks.
Meanwhile, their former Prime Minister is in prison thanks to fossil fuels! 🧵
CUT THE TIES ACTION
✂️ 🛢 ✂️
CTT action in London today against BP.
#Eastbourne XR activists at the front of the Cut the Ties to Fossil Fuels action outside BP in London yesterday.
Governments must stop subsidising these FF polluters.
Once again - utilising geoengineering while continuing to pump out carbon is akin to giving a poisoned patient an antidote while administering more poison
Madness
And who honestly thinks the FF corporations will NOT use this as an excuse to expand operations?

‘It might seem like nobody’s listening when we talk of greenhouse gasses, 2050 and 1.5C, but maybe that’s not how best to break the silence. With a relevant story, a human angle and a little creativity, I think we can find ways to spark those crucial conversations.’
- Charlie Gardner
An anonymous group of food industry execs published a memo warning about “a threat to food security like none other we have seen” in the UK, citing degrading soil health, water scarcity, heating, and extreme weather.

Most (lucky sods) don’t understand where we are on climate. If we allow 2° & it’s a choice, billions will die, >25% of marine life gone with coral, sea level +7½ m, floods, drought, fire storms & crop failures. How many billions must die to retain billionaires wealth & privilege?
REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. PRIVATISED WATER IS A SCAM Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
BREAKING: Public ownership of water companies would reduce bills by £3–5bn a year.
A report by the University of Greenwich and @weownit.org.uk shows households would be £113 a year better off with nationalised water companies.
The Green Party wants to see water back into public hands
@extinctionrebellion.uk Dirty Water's latest campaign Water Pressure will fight to bring water management back to the public. We are campaigning for a citizens' assembly. We are campaigning for the right to clean water.

@labourlewis.bsky.social responds to his recent water bill being refused by Government with “I’ve got a Government that has a computer for a political brain” 📢
PAY MORE, GET LESS 💀
Bills UP. Taxes UP. Water bills UP. EVERYTHING UP except clean water standards
💩While we’re squeezed dry, water companies dump sewage in our rivers & rake in profits
🚨 BOYCOTT DIRTY WATER- legally withhold sewerage fees until they stop polluting!
How? #DontPayForDirtyWater⤵️
Drax protester get preposterous sentence for blocking a train for ONE MINUTE
"Today I have been given a two year conditional discharge. Drax is able to continue operating & get government subsidies. This doesn’t make sense to me".
Does it make sense to you???

Debate on @labourlewis.bsky.social water bill this Friday in the Commons - one to watch
.@RachelReevesMP doesn’t understand there is a climate crisis threatening our lives going forward. No mention in the Spring Statement
The OBR assessment assumes planning legislation will go ahead. Let’s make sure it produces insulated homes with solar panels to increase community resilience.
Get your MPs attention, and ask them to attend the water debate! The more attention @labourlewis.bsky.social bill gets, the more likely we are to see a change in the management of our water.

If a Dr tells a smoker with lung cancer "Carry on smoking, there may be a cure in the future", is the Dr 'ambitious' or 'irresponsible'?
#JetZero allows ‘guilt free flying’ and aviation expansion because, "there will be solutions to its emissions problem in the future.

Becca Horn from of the Clean Water Action group Hastings explains the dire water situation there & why we should all should follow her lead & email our MP to urge them to be at the water debate on 28th March.
The government need to know how sick we all are of the status quo.

Meanwhile... in #Eastbourne
we are the only seaside tourist town in #EastSussex without a seafront cycle route, and where #cycling is banned in the town centre.
There is little/no green politics, but there is an International Airshow and the most short car journeys in SE.

Yes, #water companies profit from poisoning our food chain.
Some pollutants come from runoff into the sewers, but we are now discovering that a great volume of contaminants, including pfas and microplastics, are introduced deliberately... for a fee.

Stupid, irresponsible, desperate, crass... and that's just the journalism.
