Loved the energy of young protesters at #YouthStrike4Climate #SchoolStrike4Climate in Parliament Square today - future looks to be in safe hands with next generation - if this generation don't wreck our planet first. (1/n) Placard saying There Is No Planet B
Inspiring to hear 9 year old Daphne, there with her mum, tell us how she was protesting to protect our planet. Jo Swinson, Siobhan Benita, 9 yr old Daphne and her 'Make Earth Cool Again' placard
14 year old Alicia and her friends are determined that young people's voices will be heard - they are 100% right. Siobhan Benita and Jo Swinson with teenage climate protesters and We Must Do It placard

May's Brexit deal defeated by 391 votes to 242.

We need a #PeoplesVote House of Commons screen showing division on EU Withdrawal Act
PM confirms that there will be a vote tomorrow on whether to leave the EU with No Deal.

And that the government will allow a free vote on that.
Then if the House votes for No Deal then govt will implement.

If the Commons votes down No Deal then on Thurs we will vote on extending Article 50.

Children & young people taking part in Friday's climate strike are not potential adults in waiting whose views don't count yet. Neither do they need adult permission to have a mind of their own or to give it voice.
The fact that, in this case, their view represents a necessary critique of our failure to sufficiently address the threat of climate change should be welcomed with enthusiasm and gratitude.
The most common issues my Office hears about from children & young people are housing/poverty, care for the environment and climate change. They also tell us they are frustrated at not being listened to or taken seriously.

I must respectfully disagree with my friend @SenJohnBarrasso ’s Op-Ed on the @nytimes.

I will explain why in this thread⬇️ nytimes.com/2018/12/18/opi…
1️⃣ The referendum result in Washington State looked like more relentless campaigning by the fossil fuel industry against #climate action;

without that industry onslaught, the #carbontax referendum there would probably have passed.

nytimes.com/2018/12/30/opi…
2️⃣ A #carbontax is not “expensive,” as in our proposals all the money goes back to the public.

Taxing #carbon moves energy markets toward cheaper renewables.
On balance, people save money.

Don’t forget that the savings from avoiding #climate catastrophes are immense.

#climate twitter! I want to donate 10% of my 2019 income where it will do the most good to reduce emissions. Would love to hear your take on the most effective orgs (in this thread or private DM). Thanks! Ping @drvox @KHayhoe @Fisher_DanaR @AmyAHarder @LeehiYona @EricHolthaus
As I replied to @EricHolthaus- I'm aware of and inspired by @givingwhatwecan & @GiveWell work on global health/poverty; I personally want to support climate mitigation. I realize there's no one right answer, depends on theory of change etc; curious to hear different perspectives.
Esp. in climate arena where impact could be on different possible levels (eg X tons avoided from cookstoves vs Y tons #fossil CO2 kept in the ground vs systemic political or economic change)- curious to hear diverse range of theory of change or evidence of effectiveness.
