"Rory Stewart has put his money where his mouth is"?

Rory Stewart is a multi-billionaire and is giving away his own wealth 'for climate', is he?

How generous of him.
He really is the green blob's candidate.
No, @RoryStewartUK the "ice shelf" is not "going ten times more quickly than expected". No, we're not "about to lose a million species". And hundreds of millions of fewer people have escaped poverty, and would not be helped at all by climate change mitigation.
So @RoryStewartUK is either:

Stupid

or

Lying.

or

Both.

A comment under my article at Spiked.

It's fairly typical. I've seen thousands of them over the years. It speaks to the fact that 'science' has bought no information to the climate debate.

It has instead basked in the glory that alarmism has given it.
Only in the most extreme, radical, far out, and dubious estimations of "impact" are problems of the kind and scale that this chap fantasises about produced. And not for a very long time, let alone by 2030.

But in his head, he thinks it's a scientific FACT.
I'm asked to respond to a fantasy. A science fiction dystopia. Not anything which has happened, or which could plausibly happen in just 11 years. I'm 'denying' science.

"Science" has a lot to answer for.

It is not enough to call it 'projection', when it manifestly is not projection.

Scott Cato and the paranoid tendency she is part of cannot take political opposition, debate or criticism in good faith. That is why she and they are drawn to conspiracy theory.
It would be 'projection' if @toadmeister had compiled a website, 'the bad girls of remain', perhaps. But his and Goodwin's point is very different.
Any critic of the greens and their political ambitions is a 'denier'. We can't simply be allowed to disagree. There has to be psychological, financial, or other amoral motivations. Scott-Cato's political understanding is limited by her own intransigence.

Greens can't do debate, argument, democracy. So they use words like 'far right', 'denier' and set up smear websites -- lists of their enemies and their sins and their 'connections'. I hope the Green Party has some success, so their utter vacuity can be better exposed.
I am not now, and never have been any kind of conduit or linkage between Spiked and UKIP, or any other organisation. Neither have I been an 'acolyte'. I am an independent researcher and writer. I was not a member of UKIP. I have never been even an editorial member of Spiked.
The only work I ever did for any UKIP MEPs (I was never employed by UKIP) which was not to do with environment/energy was a short project on the burden that bureaucracy places on small businesses in the NE of England.

I guess that makes me 'far right'.

There are a lot of things about the current attack on women's rights that really upset me, but religion based pro-life hypocrisy is something that isn't touched on enough. ( a thread ) #AbortionIsAWomansRight
I'm not talking about the people who are pro-life just for themselves. I'm talking about the people who use their religious beliefs as the basis to take away someone else's rights. People who shame you at clinics and support candidates who will further their religious agenda.
People who want to ban abortions claim that it's God's plan and only God creates life as reasons abortion should be illegal. This unwanted baby is what GOD wanted, so you cannot terminate the pregnancy, health or desires of the mother be damned. There is no place for science.

Follow me on a little recap of my time at @nycplanning over the last 3 years. I was recruited after @arielmai introduced me to @fuchsnyc . He was building a progressive, data-savvy team focused on analyzing and influencing NYC’s Capital Budget. 1/
@NYCPlanning @arielmai @fuchsnyc The team had been assembling new data products and cleaning up old ones, and the missing piece of the puzzle was a digital platform to make the data more accessible. The simplified dream: see all of NYC’s capital projects on a map instead of parsing through 4000 pages of PDFs. 2/
@NYCPlanning @arielmai @fuchsnyc I like to describe @fuchsnyc as having a clear-as-day vision in his head for what this product could do, but didn’t like his options. (1. Figure out how to get it built in-house in the agency’s IT team. 2. Find money and hire a vendor to build it) /3

I'm no longer especially opposed to a second referendum. The Brexit blob have shifted the goalposts and changed the proposition. We need a public vote on their demented WTO fantasy. Let them put their money where their mouth is. They've declared war on reason.

#Brexit
The London Brexit blob have made it perfectly clear that they own the Brexit narrative and will not entertain a deal so this becomes a revolutionary crusade instead of Brexit. I'm fine with leaving the EU but I won't have them speaking in my name or appropriating my vote.
These people have to learn that their tribal fanaticism is is undermining their own case. I've been a leave campaigner for twenty years but no longer have common goals with them save for being out of the EU. They don't get my vote or my voice. Let the chips fall where they may.

Planning an event? Cool!
Aiming to center voices of marginalized communities? Fantastic!
Not paying the people you're asking to present? Let's discuss.

I recently got invited to keynote an event at an Ivy League school & was told there's no budget for travel or a fee.
The request was from an undergrad org. Apparently, this Ivy League institution's policy makes it so they're "unable to pay for any external costs."
Interesting. When I was in (a much smaller) college, I planned an event for an org & budgeted a few thousand to pay our speaker.
As a disabled woman, I'm often asked to do the work of sharing my story and experiences to educate others. I'm passionate about doing this because I'm a big believer in the need to raise consciousness around the disability experience and the issues that impact our community.

About a month ago, I tweeted about my improvements since January 2018. Well, here's a sneak peak into *one* of my accounts.

Starting balance: 0.1000 BTC
Current balance: 0.1966 BTC (withdrew 0.05 BTC on March 4)

ROI: ~95%

( 2 )

Yes, I know it's a small account, but I challenged myself to take a fraction of a $BTC and flip it into a wholesome coin.

It also helps that I only trade with a fraction of my portfolio and that I still have a LOT of fiat from my sell at $7200.
( 3 )

TBH, I have no interest in buying any more $BTC. Why? Cause compound gains makes it absolutely unnecessary :3

...and medical school is expensive af. 😭😭

3. This week’s episode situation is: ‘I earn more than my husband and as a result, he doesn’t buy me anything and it really hurts. Is this right?’ As we dive into this I have 2 questions. #MrMrsBetterHalf
