@Hermesparcels I ordered an item from eBay which was supposed to be delivered by Hermes, estimated date of delivery 16 Dec, the tracking data indicated delivery 17 Dec. So far you have not even attempted delivery. This is the bizarre tracking history via eBay.
I was informed via email it was out for delivery 31 Dec, then on Hermes tracking it said the driver had an issue, and could I contact Hermes to try and resolve the issue. I had no idea what the "issue" was. However, I supplied a full address and mobile number just in case.
The customer service department, informed me via email, that the address was incomplete. This is despite me having provided you with the full address and mobile number via Holly the assistant on 31 Dec, and me receiving the message the details had been passed on to the courier.
It says the delivery depot had received the parcel on 5 Jan, and the eBay tracking said it would be delivered on this day. Nothing, nothing on 6 Jan either. The parcel was only travelling less than 30 miles. Can you please tell me what is going on?

1) This analysis of wealth distribution in the UK provides a very telling story as regards the climate and ecological crisis. What it shows is an increasing gap between rich and poor. It shows how much wealth is concentrated in a small minority.
theguardian.com/money/2022/jan…
2) The reason this analysis of wealth distribution is because individual carbon footprints are highly correlated with individual wealth, as this well know Oxfam graphic illustrates. It is a similar pattern with other consumption. Image
3) The reason it is important to understand all this is because a lot of analysis as regards say carbon emissions, tends to give averages for countries, as if all the people of individual countries have a similar carbon footprint.

1) This is Orwellian dishonesty of an incredibly extreme type.

Let's get this clear, there is no such thing as "political correctness" or "wokery". These are entirely fabricated enemies to justify oppressive power grabs and changes to the law.
theguardian.com/law/2021/dec/1…
2) "Political correctness", "wokery" or "woke culture" do not exist. There is no ideologies of these names were progressives are plotting to impose these ideologies on people. It is as I say a complete fabrication, an invented enemy that doesn't actually exist.
3) This is why I call it Orwellian, because in both "Animal Farm" and "1984" the dictatorships invent imaginary enemies and conspiracy to justify oppressive measures. This is exactly what Dominic Raab is doing here and arguing.

1) Only large scale system change can prevent the eventual collapse of our civilization through the unsustainability of our present system, and the eventual impacts of the climate and ecological crisis. This is not a doomster perspective, this catastrophe is entirely avoidable.🧵
2) In this thread I want to highlight what it is that makes our current system totally unsustainable. I will look at this from a systems perspective and point towards the trends and trajectories leading to this point, and what we need to change to avoid this.
3) The primary feature of our present system developed during the industrial revolution is that it is a free market economy, focused on economic growth. Where successful individuals can accumulate unlimited wealth and possessions.

1) Just a quick note to anti-maskers, mask-sceptics and associated science deniers. The primary purpose of wearing a mask in confined public spaces is to protect other people from virus spread by infected people. See this video as to how it works.🧵
2) The COVID virus is primarily transmitted by an infected person exhaling droplets carrying the virus, with a largely invisible plume being projected in front and around them, every time they exhale, cough or sneeze.

3) As the video demonstrates any sort of face mask greatly reduces the spread of this plume of potentially infected droplets, drastically reducing the likelihood of nearby people becoming infected. It really is that simple.

1) We need to talk about the way doomism is being used by certain climate scientists as a pejorative term for many climate activists. It's necessary to discuss this, because post COP26 this term is being widely abused and used against anyone questioning the efficacy of COP talks.
2) I've not been follow this whole narrative enought to know the exact origin of this narrative. However, climate scientist Michael Mann seems to be instrumental in it's current usage.
theguardian.com/environment/20…
3) Quite frankly I've been baffled by Mann's whole framing of what he calls doomism, or doom-mongering, because his whole framing of it seems misconstrued. The people he and others following his lead are accusing of being doomists, self-evidently aren't what they are accused of.

Total climate ignoramus Andrew Neil, who has such bad judgement that he inadvertently fronted an extreme right wing populist TV channel without knowing what it was, now wants to return to mainstream TV to misinform the public about the climate crisis.
theguardian.com/media/2021/nov…
Nothing better illustrates the obstacle to addressing the climate crisis. A bunch of very powerful and influential people, who control everything believe they know best when it comes to the climate and ecological crisis.
The only thing all of these people have in common is a complete lack of knowledge about the subject. None of them have any formal qualifications in a relevant subject, and at best they have done some very cherry-picked shallow reading.
