Here’s the core of it. The question no one will face when they are prattling on about protests. “Do you know what a 2 degree temperature rise looks like and what it means for your children?”
He has no idea, and isn’t interested. The problem in a nutshell.
It’s such a problem this. People really have no idea of what is coming with the #ClimateCrisis, and sort of numbly switch off to it. When it really explodes (it’s already started), they will all say there wasn’t enough warning and more should have been done. 🤦🏻♂️ #ClimateEmergency
Someone just told me they've been waiting for climate change since they were 15 (which I assume was about 40 years ago) and nothing's changed in that time. I block all climate science deniers instantly, there is no time to waste on that shit.
Right wing media presenters opposing local protests about the global #ClimateEmergency
This account just did a climate science denial @ me bye bye 👋 #idiocracy
The day contrarian right wingers realise they aren’t actually arguing with woke lefties but are in a futile stand off with the immense volatility of nature created by the #ClimateCrisis, they might finally see how much of their own time and energy they are wasting. #ClimateAction
Common refrain on my timeline today:
“Insulate Britain are going to kill someone with their protests”.
Now please go & look up how many people have already been killed by climate change, and how many deaths are projected from wars, fires, floods, famine, etc. #ClimateCrisis
The Insulate Britain protestors, whether you support their tactics or not, are always non violent, the most effective form of protest. They are met with this, which is surely assault? #insulatebritian#ClimateCrisis#ClimateEmergency
How’s everyone else’s day going?
This guy is advocating murdering the peaceful #ClimateCrisis protestors. 🤦🏻♂️
No one has all the answers to the #climatecrisis, but the last two days of growing concrete & bullying peaceful protestors tell us that the answers will definitely never come from ageing white male right wing broadcasters.
There is no problem to which they are the solution.
Another day, and another right wing white male is railing against doing anything about the imminent collapse of the earth's natural systems. I'm not even tweeting the clip, but we share a Christian name, and that's all we share. #ClimateEmergency#ClimateCrisis#COP26Glasgow

If you hate Insulate Britain, you’d have hated the Suffragettes. Without civil disobedience, black students wouldn’t have been able to attend university in Alabama, India wouldn’t be independent & South Africa would still have Apartheid.
The problem with Richard Madeley and Mike Graham and all those types is that if they'd been on the air in 1913 they'd have been grilling Emily Wilding Davison's supporters on how mean it was to disrupt ordinary horse racing spectators and what about the horse.
The government has just u-turned, or should that be u-bent, and accepted the amendment on sewage after all, which is rather embarrassing for all the Tory MPs who have spent two days explaining why they had no choice but to vote against it.
Pressure works. Here, and in a sewer.
Never think twitter activism is a waste of time. Without all of us, this wouldn't have happened. Simple. Now let's see what they actually do. #TorySewageParty#Sewage
Following allegations of Russian interference in our #BrexitBritain democratic processes, here’s ‘Rule Britannia’ cheekily re-imagined as a Russian romantic piece, complete with Soviet nostalgie colour scheme. 🇷🇺 🎼 #SundayThoughts#music#piano#sundayvibes#musicislife
I detest Frost's contemptuous attitude to the EU. These are our friends, bonded by history, culture and multi-national families spanning a vast continent. They are our biggest trading market and our closest allies. What the hell are we doing here? #BrexitHasFailed#BrexitBritain
Absolutely risible, almost paralytically drunk interpretation. #BrexitDenial
It’s appalling bad faith. How can anyone negotiate with a government that behaves in this way? No agreement will have any trust or meaning.
