One of the most extraordinary human beings on this precious earth, fighting to save it from our own species.

Spellbinding, moving, eloquent.

To those who are deaf to his pleas, all future devastation is on you.

With everything going on at #COP26 I have never found the billionaire spaceship ten minute joyrides more unedifying.

So so powerful. #COP26 #COP26Glasgow #ClimateAction
As #DavidAttenborough is quite rightly trending, a reminder that kids who write to him often receive a personal, handwritten reply. He’s a treasure. This is a lovely example.

Trainwreck.
#wearamask #COP26Glasgow #DavidAttenborough #cop26
Because of attitudes like this and the ridiculous Rees Mogg ‘fraternal convivial spirit’ drivel, the Commons now has a major #COVID19 outbreak; staff being told to work from home, masks mandated etc. Selfish and stupid. They carry these traits, and the virus, everywhere.
Sir Jeremy Farrar has resigned from SAGE because of the government’s refusal to listen to scientific advice on #COVID19 measures. With the PM’s example, or lack of it, on the world stage, this is no great surprise frankly. Reckless incompetence. #wearamask #ToryCovidCatastrophe Image

So far the PM has made a speech about James Bond, done a car crash interview about cutting tax on domestic flights and new coal, fallen asleep, and announced he’s flying back to London tomorrow.

Planet saved.

Odd that a PM who took back control of all national legislation by leaving the EU can’t change the National Planning Policy Framework by law and ban all new U.K. coal, with his big majority isn’t it. Well it isn’t at all odd, because he can.#COP26Glasgow #cop26 #ClimateEmergency

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.

Protest means progress.

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.
Block button very busy already today. 🤦🏻‍♂️

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.

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
Disastrous day for the water companies oh well never mind. The free ride is over. #TorySewageParty #StoolBritannia

What the hell have I just watched. #idiocracy #ClimateEmergency
I am off to grow some concrete. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Love how this idiocy has got the late great Mel Smith trending. This interviewer could so easily be him in a sketch from Not the Nine O'Clock News. #idiocracy #ConcreteMike #InsulateBritain #ClimateCrisis
