2/ " “Quick Win” solutions focus on halting highly destructive practices, such as widespread deforestation, flaring and fugitive emissions of methane, and “black carbon” emissions from dirty cookstoves, biomass burning, and other sources" drawdown.org/solutions/tabl…

On @frankieboyle's New World Order last night, I argued that preventing #climatebreakdown means overthrowing capitalism. I don't think there's any other BBC programme that would allow this.
The only way in which you are now permitted to speak truth to power, by the BBC or any other major broadcaster, is to disguise it as comedy.
As TV comedy and drama have become ever more daring, factual and current affairs programmes have become ever more timid. Truth now has to be smuggled under the guise of entertainment. This is how TV works in authoritarian regimes - and in the UK.
