Anyone who utters the words the ‘UK isn’t really responsible for causing #ClimateEmergency’ & then blames China/India’ better have an answer to this 👇🏾👇🏾#COP26
The UK has just 0.8% of the world’s population yet UK investments are responsible for 15% of global emissions. Every climate conversation by the Govt that doesn’t start with ‘it’s the neoliberal economy, stupid!’ should be met with the disdain it deserves.
For all those asking about the source of this graph. The data is from this article - however historical emissions per person for India and China isn’t included so India’s 28,000 mega tonnes & Chinas 105,925 is divided by their population to get the number. theguardian.com/environment/20…

At #COP25Madrid rich countries are literally pouring oil on to the climate fire. They have known about the urgency to act, they know the science & that the clock is ticking on 1.5c with less than a decade to act. They refused to act in the previous decade & now they are demanding
thaf they can use discredited carbon markets to shift the burden to the global South. They are calling for solutions that will displace food production in the poorest countries so they can offset their failure to act.
Because they want to lock in even more fossil fuel extraction. Their target is an expansion of fossil fuels by 150% beyond what is compatible for 1.5c. The majority of that expansion is in rich countries like the USA & Canada.

1/ This is going to be a bit of a thread. I grew up in the Britain of the 70s/80s, it was a time when the NF was marching on the streets & racist violence & murders were an every day occurrence. Like many of my generation my home was attacked, redpepper.org.uk/bame-activists…
2/ I carry scars from racist attacks, and experienced the collective trauma & anger of a community fighting for the right to live free from attack. That experience made me a life long anti-racist & gave me a burning hatred of injustice everywhere. As we fought for the right to
For the right to defend our communities in the face of State violence, neglect & politicians who played the race card for electoral reasons. That experience made me an internationalist, the suffering of people be it in South Africa, Palestine, Chile or Nicaragua felt as much my

Thread 1. For many the main takeway from this report seems to people should 'eat less meat and become a vegetarian' otherwise we face a food crisis. Its clearly a good thing for many reasons to cut meat consumption - health, climate etc. But whats missing from this story....
2. Well first of all - 1 in 3 people already face hunger issues, close to billion face malnutrition not in the future but right now. So the hunger crisis is happening -but of course its happening to people in the global South so it only matters when it might impact 'rich' people
3. Yet a 1/3 of all the food produced is wasted and a 1/3 of all soil eroded. You would be forgiven for thinking this was a result of something magical that could only be fixed by 'individual consumers' changing their habits rather than this has been deliberately engineered.

#China at sea: For #India, Shiyan incident is a reminder to invest more in maritime scientific research

With Beijing expanding strategic purpose of its marine research to Andamans, Delhi and its partners should coordinate maritime diplomacy
indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
Recent reports that the Indian Navy “chased out” a Chinese vessel — Shiyan 1— from the Andaman Sea should draw Delhi’s attention to Beijing’s growing maritime scientific capabilities and its ambitious research agenda for distant waters.
Shiyan 1 is operated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is part of Beijing’s growing marine research fleet that now stands at about 50 vessels.

#China & #India aren’t best friends – but agreed strategic adjustment might prevent WAR between Asian superpowers - The summits indicate that Xi and Modi are committed to predictable and stable relations which do not boil over rt.com/op-ed/470804-c…
For years, the Chinese held a dim view of India as a socially and economically backward land, and a stooge of Western imperialism which is no match to China. But India’s rise as an independent ‘leading power’ under Modi has compelled fullest attention in Beijing.
Ironically, if China needs Pakistan to keep India under check, India under Modi has played the card of cozying up to the US and Russia to keep China under check.
