Climate change ‘should be the biggest issue of the day’. @GaryLineker is right - and if you don’t understand why, there’s a thread below 👇

Scientists have known for decades that burning oil, coal and gas, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) which is a greenhouse gas - meaning it traps heat. The more CO2 there is, the hotter the planet gets:

🚨Understand why people are disrupting Shell’s AGM. Short thread. Oil companies knew for sure by the 70s that their product would dangerously heat the world. They spend $1Billion a year trying to confuse and lie to the public about climate change science:

Oil companies pretend they want to lead the transition to renewable green energy but in reality they only care about their profits. They spend millions every year lobbying against green energy #Shell #ShellAGM #JustStopOil #ExtinctionRebellion forbes.com/sites/niallmcc…

Expect extreme and unimaginable violence as the food supply starts to stall. We were warned but we were too busy taking selfies and watching game shows by Ben Webster, The Times

Millions of you are soon to scream ‘WHY DIDN’T YOU WARN US???’ You are being warned. Act now. #TheBigOne @XRebellionUK #ClimateCrisis *Note that things are happening far faster than what was predicted in this video made a few years ago

Can you imagine the difference it would make if climate scientists like NASA’s Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman were given the coverage that Paris Hilton has had in the British media this week. This is why we’re in deep trouble and the media can’t see it @radioleary @AlisonHammond twitter.com/i/web/status/1… @radioleary @alisonhammond @hollywills @Schofe @thismorning @Josiestweet @RochelleHumes @RuthieeL Please listen to David Attenborough and tell your viewers what their families are facing in the imminent future 🚨🙏❤️

While all this focus is on @GaryLineker, he gets criticised a lot for tweeting about this because he understands that most people don’t understand the magnitude of what we are facing in our kids lifetimes and maybe our own. Worth watching.

WHAT THE FUCK theguardian.com/media/2023/mar… @BBC @BBCNews Tell the public clearly and loudly, the full truth

I’m baffled why more parents are not making it their mission to stop this. What are they thinking? Most people barely even talk about it NASA climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ Oxford ox.ac.uk/news/2021-08-0… Met office metoffice.gov.uk/weather/climat… Margaret Thatcher Stephen Hawking The oil PR campaign against the facts:

You know this is just the beginning, don’t you? Talked to some famous people last night who didn’t understand that almost all climate scientists agree, and what eventually comes is crop failure which leads to civil unrest and widespread violence.

These NASA scientists are begging us to take action - but we are going in the wrong direction. NASAs prof James Hansen: NASAs @ClimateHuman

So far have found it too painful to watch HeartStopper all the way through. Reminded of when I saw Beautiful Thing in 1996 and sitting behind these two guys, one of whom was deeply sobbing when Jamie comes out to his mum. I guess I feel angry we all go through that pain Actually maybe that’s a bit melodramatic. Maybe painful is not quite the right word, maybe ‘intense’ is better. What feels like a simple story is quite a conflicting intense experience when you’re in your forties

What is coming is beyond most peoples comprehension, including journalists Scientists say we can still stave off the worst if we act - which is why everyone needs to become an activist, educate their friends and family, and get on the streets to demand change. If we carry on leaving it to other people we have no chance.
