This morning's Sunday Morning @BBCNews was real #DontLookUp stuff.

@Ed_Miliband used the phrase "climate emergency" four times and was ignored by @SophieRaworth.

Then came truly dangerous radical @KwasiKwarteng...

bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
Kwarteng is the energy minister but @SophieRaworth didn't ask him why he’s trashing climate policy by approving new oil and gas.

Nor did she put to him @antonioguterres's comment that he and his government are the truly dangerous radicals, committing moral and economic madness.
.@SophieRaworth did ask @KwasiKwarteng about windfall tax, thus allowing him to repeat his bonkers argument that the oil giants are the ones best placed to invest in green energy.

So why aren't they?

Interview ended on the topic of Eurovision.🤦‍♀️🤬
To add insult to injury...

The government's energy policy is a farce and the BBC are miserably failing to challenge them on it.

independent.co.uk/climate-change…
The world's top diplomat has branded the UK government truly dangerous radicals.

The government appear to have decided that black is white and oil & gas are transition fuels.

Are we asking too much of the BBC to bring these points up with the energy minister?

@deborahturness
Activists from @GNDRising asking the important questions while the state broadcaster asks the trivial ones.
Why is Kwasi Kwarteng siding with oil and gas companies against humanity?

Why is he committing moral and economic madness?

How many times have we tried to warn the media, only to be dismissed as alarmists?
A month ago, India was promising to feed the world.

The man behind #DontLookUp, @GhostPanther, has been criticised for a tweet saying "We’ve got 6-8 years before the climate is so chaotic we live in a permanent state of biblical catastrophe".

Did he go too far?

Let's see what scientists say.
Speaking in the video are Professor Tim Lenton, Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, @ClimateHuman, @JKSteinberger, @KevinClimate with a quote from @fbirol, Professor Will Steffen and @SaleemulHuq.
"Media should hang their heads in real shame and real horror" that this prognosis is barely known about - @JKSteinberger

Well done to @GhostPanther for doing as much as anyone to spread the word.

Things you might not have heard from the media about #COP26. 🧵

(To everyone who HAS covered these stories, well done and thank-you)
Emissions are set to RISE by 2030. 🤯

That's why @BorisJohnson was right to warn of the collapse of civilisation at the opening of #COP26 (before flying home by private jet to dine with a climate denier).

India proposed the #COP26 agreement should state "all fossil fuels to be phased down". So why does it only refer to "unabated coal" being phased down? Because the US and UK are doubling down on oil and gas.

Today XR published its own tabloid newspaper (read all about it at issuu.com/mediattt/docs/…).

So let's look at what scientists are saying - but the media aren't - about terrifying developments in climate. DENIER DENIER THE PLANET'S ON FIRE - Rupert Murdoch on the c
The kind of plans "climate champion" @JohnKerry is discussing publicly could lead to 3-4°C of heating - @KevinClimate.

That means the collapse of civilisation. Radical evil. Heard any journalists pointing that out to Kerry?

Limited heating to 1.5°C is still possible according to @JRockstrom, but requires a Herculean response.

So you'd think the media would be pressing for that every day right? Because it's now clear that anything less will be catastrophic.

Famine caused by Global North emissions still devastating Madagascar. Global North media still paying little attention.

aljazeera.com/news/2021/7/23…
To clarify, greenhouse gas emissions led to the atmospheric conditions which which led to the drought which led to the crop failure.

But for crop failure to become a famine, the world's food distribution systems and disaster response have also got to fail - as they have here.
Global poverty and government failure are what turned a drought into a famine.

World leaders could still solve this, and justice demands that they do.
