At #TheTimeIsNow lobby I was reminded of the huge positive effects of the fight to stop #ClimateChange 👇

🌿 Crucial one is clean air. Air pollution is responsible for more deaths than smoking. Eliminating fossil fuels will clean up our air & improve our health 1/4
🌿Fighting #ClimateChange helps us fight poverty. Advances in renewables means electricity can be extended to the poorest parts of the world enabling development & growth

Find out about my plan to direct £trillions investment into renewable tech at edforleader.org 2/4
Turning our economy green means we can take on vested interests

Home grown, clean energy takes money out of the hands of vested interests & puts the future of UK energy back in our control 3/4
So let’s turn our economy green🌿 work internationally and #StopClimateChange: not just to prevent catastrophe but for all those positive reasons too

Go to edforleader.org to find out more about my plan to turn our economy green #EdForLeader 4/4

Let’s talk about Boris

One of most disreputable, toxic, selfish politicians I’ve ever met. As Tories choose between British Trump & ex-Health Sec who’s mission was to destroy health service, let's remember why #Johnson is #UnfitForOffice
[Many threads]
2018: Letterboxes
Wrote that women wearing niqab looked like “letterboxes” & “bank robbers”; triggering attacks on our Muslim community, “letterbox” graffitied on homes, and giving racists new language in hate speech

2008: “Blacks have lower IQs”
As editor of the Spectator he was responsible for - and clearly condoned - this racist drawl. He and his racist worldview has no place in Parliament, let alone @10DowningStreet

Exceptional times; exceptional measures

Today I’m calling for backbenchers to form a coalition Govt of National Unity, short term for ONE POLICY

...a people’s vote to give a #FinalSay on the biggest political decision of our lifetimes.

Thread... theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Our country is divided and what motivated many to vote Leave in 16 are now admitted to be lies: no job losses, £350m wk to #NHS, easy trade deals etc.

Polls now say we’re a Remain country; the wafer thin mandate of 2016 advisory poll is over

When facts change; minds change
To my backbencher colleagues...

You MUST prevent an incoming Tory leader proroguing parliament and forcing a no-deal Brexit.

Do not put #PartyAboveCountry

I'm sorry but this is a tremendous waste of time and money and toes the fossil fuel lobby's line

Instead of inventing hair-brained schemes - solar reflection, pole freezing, ocean greening - to mitigate emissions, target their source: oil, gas and coal bbc.com/news/science-e…
The @IPCC_CH is the most complete authority there is on #climatechange, includes no geoengineering in its models, because the systems proposed "face large uncertainties and knowledge gaps as well as substantial risks" geoengineeringmonitor.org/2018/11/ipccs-…
Oil and gas giants still include carbon capture and storage (CSS) in their models, which they claim will allow them to continue using #fossilfuels as long as they want, so long as CO2 can be sucked out of the air in 2nd half of 21st century energy-transitions.org/sites/default/…

Bad Diets Are Responsible For More Deaths Than Smoking, Global Study Finds n.pr/2TSY9wT
What would happen if everyone around the globe began to eat a healthy diet, filling three-fourths of their plates with fruits, vegetables and whole grains? We'd run out. Yep, that's right.
Someday all the health food nuts will be laying in a hospital bed wondering why the hell they are dying of absolutely nothing.

I feel honored to present the winners of our 2018 @SEALAwards Environmental Journalism Awards. Without exaggeration, their work is the tip of the spear in fighting climate change. Why? Thread follows 1/ sealawards.com/environmental-…
Having an informed & engaged public is required to make the political, lifestyle & societal changes needed to mitigate (let alone beat) #climatechange. These great writers fight a battle on many fronts. Translating science & policy research into digestible content is HARD /2
I read 100s of applications for @SEALAwards Research Grant program receives (thanks to partner @BeInstrumentl). My brain hurts afterward. Explaining research like this - to our gnat-like attention spans - on a deadline & w/ few resources requires deep & irreplaceable skills /3

Part 1. Why are the Kochs so involved in politics? Why are they funding this push for a Constitutional Convention? Why are they spending all this money? Yes, they have this agenda from the Libertarian 1980 platform that I made and people post. But most of those items are peanuts.
As a privately, held company, Koch Industries, Inc. does not have to report annual profits and revenues. According to Forbes Magazine at the fiscal end of 2016, Koch Industries was ranked #2 in “America’s Largest Private Companies” with an estimated worth of $100 billion.
Here's the list:

Thread: My dad is visiting from central Montana and brought me this beautiful 1966 @Interior book. It's an edited collection of articles. 1/
It sold for $9. The forward is written by @Interior Secretary Stewart Udall. It is the update to a previous volume titled "Waterfowl Tomorrow." 2/
It's an unbelievable time capsule that records the thinking of the time. In 1966 @Interior and its leadership believed that if people were simply more knowlegable about the impact they had on the environment behavior would change in support of conservation of natural resources.
