Gone are the days when global heating was in the future. Human-induced heating's wrecking lives & livelihoods TODAY. Every day of higher emissions increases human poverty & misery. Continuing on the path of rising emissions is senseless, selfish and avoidable

We're in a Climate & Ecological Crisis, Sixth Mass Extinction, a threat to us all. Fossil fuels, though they account for over 80% of carbon emissions produced by humans, continue to be widely used. That's massively destabilising our biosphere, yet our Parliament says/does nothing Image

My TL is absolutely full of people who look at this graph and *still* want to say “the link is broken” or “the link has weakened” or “the jury is out”. So let me have another go at explaining a distinction that confuses some people (and is wilfully abused by others). [THREAD]
Of course vaccines have reduced the proportion of cases that lead to hospitalisation. I'm not denying that. I've published research about how important it is that we talk about the high efficacy of COVID vaccines, because this could increase vaccine uptake.bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
That research is published in the British Journal of Health Psychology (it's open access, so you can read it). bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

There's a short summary in the @ConversationUK . theconversation.com/vaccines-for-c…

So yes -- VACCINES WORK!

The world pop'n is 7,850,000,000,000

UK pop'n is 68,000,000

#HS2 will cost £170,000,000,000 at least,
likely several times that

That works out at £22 for each human being on Earth
. . . or £2,500 for every person living in the UK
