Conservatives.

Did you know that one of the funders of the Conservative Environment Network -- which former Policy Adviser to Michael Gove, Sam Hall directs -- also funds Extinction Rebellion?

You're being played for fools.
Look at these mediocrities. They have achieved nothing by their own merit. cen.uk.com/our-people
There are the people the government has sent for to design policy, and to generate support for that policy.

If someone challenges you: "so you don't accept The Science", and you offer a 'scientific' answer in reply, you have been fooled.

They offered no scientific proposition, and yet you replied with one. And you probably made yourself look stupid.
In every case, you should ask or think, what you are being required to assent TO, before you state what it is that you dissent FROM.
Very few climate alarmists of any kind know what it is that they are proposing. "Do you accept The Science?" does not ask you about your assent to a scientific hypothesis or theory; it asks you for your obedience and deference.

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it forever...

Climate change alarmism is the externalisation of an institution's internal, existential crises.

It is charts like this which are *far* more significant than charts showing global temperature, Arctic sea ice extent, etc.
Alarmism is the desperate, wildly flailing, tragic attempt to sustain a grasp on reality, and to try to drag the rest of society into the crisis -- immanent demise.
Three examples...

The Church. As above.

The Monarchy. So green. Crisis ridden.

The UK's legacy political parties. All green. All totally disconnected from their traditional bases & the public. The Govt only surviving by not being quite as crazy as the opposition.

If a major British public institution doesn't understand that what it is trying to do is *deeply* divisive, and is a catastrophic error of judgement, the problem then surely runs deeper than the institution.
It is completely deaf to it being pointed out that it is deeply divisive and a catastrophic error of judgement.

It is therefore deliberate.
They think it is their job to pump a constant torrent of Attenbollocks and Gretattude at the British public. The @BBC believes this is their mission.

It can *only* increase the division.

On the one hand, great, the BBC is alienating itself. On the other, the crisis is a problem

At 9pm tonight, if we have not secured the #ReleaseTheRussiaReport, I shall release all of the information that I have in my possession.
Suppressing the #RussiaReport is potentially a national security risk and this cannot continue.

1. In summer 2018, I wrote a note as follows:
Are there ukip links to Russia?
CA links to criminal activity?
What role do Breibart, Arron Banks and Nigel Farage play?
Is there connection between EU ref and Russia?
👆must be investigated before we leave EU on poss corrupted vote.
2. 'Geopolitically, a Brexit will weaken Europe's ability to stand up to Putin's aggression and the challenges of jihadism.. Brexit will threaten the global role of the UK and the EU.'

In the last one week, I have been to 3 cities and at least a dozen campuses. And I am clear that there are two kinds of people out there in our law colleges. This includes teachers, students, and administration.

There are some people who have come to believe that there are no opportunities, too many obstacles and that the sweet status quo is comfortable and they can sustain in it.
They remind everyone that better things are not possible and recount the number of past failures to justify no progress. They believe that luck and privilege is the key to all success, and there is no other way we can achieve any significant success.

A thread about one of the highest return, biggest bang for the buck climate-protecting investments I know of, one that is useful today in a time of weak climate policy and one that will also be essential when climate policy is stronger.
In my TEDx talk I call this high-payback investment 're-wiring the system' - it combines #SystemsThinking concepts, including: leverage, lock-in, and emergence.
Lock-in: This strategy focuses on infrastructure investment decisions. Once built, infrastructure influences carbon footprint, racial and economic equity, health and well-being for many decades - for good or for ill. Get it right and you've locked in good things for a long time!

One after another after another, Tory MPs queueing up to essentially Tweet that breaking promises on one of the biggest issues in post-war politics shouldn’t have repercussions. Now Michael Gove. Such a party doesn’t have a happy future.
1/2 Pathetic to hear Dominic Grieve blame Ukip infiltration for losing the confidence of his local Tory association. No Mr Grieve - you risk losing your 'safe seat' because you promised to honour an historic referendum result before the Gen Elxn and did 100% opposite afterwards
2/2 Hearing @BrandonLewis, @MichaelGove, @JamesCleverly etc defend DG today betrays Con leadership really doesn't understand seriousness of a) its potentially HISTORIC failure to deliver #Brexit; b) its massive breach of trust with voters + c) a general post-EUref incompetence

So, I've not been able to sleep tonight. I have a feeling it might be the prospect of Michael Gove as Prime Minister.

"Why would that be then Chris?"

Glad you asked.

#CabinetCoup #Gove #ToryCoup
So obviously we've had two years of intractable Maybot. And obvs, we're all sick of it. Her "speech" to the nation last week, delivered half an hour late, fell as flat as Boris's leadership bid in 2016. Presumably the Conservative Party will be looking for a new approach? Uh-huh.
From 2014. Horowitz, a self-professed Conservative interviews Gove.

"The truth of the matter is that as our time together slips by, I come to realise that I might as well be interviewing Stonehenge. Everything I throw at him bounces back."
