The next leader of the Conservative Party will be a climate denier - just as climate denial becomes completely untenable. 🧵 photo of Kemi Badenoch side by side with Robert Jenrick Kemi Badenoch is advocating for more fossil fuel extraction - the one thing guaranteed to destroy the liveable Earth.

She is being funded by, and running her campaign from the home of, one of the UK's leading climate deniers.

“Why don’t you target the polluters rather than the general public?” they say.

Today @LarchMaxey got a 3 prison sentence for doing exactly that. 🧵 Image Larch was one of the Navigator Oil Terminal tunnellers.

He and four others were sentenced to a total of 7 years 3 months today - the same day that the UK prison population reached a record high of 88,521, and scientists confirmed the summer of 2024 was the hottest ever.

You know in Armageddon where NASA decide the only way to save humanity is to land on an asteroid, drill into it, then detonate a nuke inside?

That’s where we are right now, according to one of the world’s most renowned scientists. 🧵 @Sir_David_King says even if we hit net zero tomorrow, we wouldn’t be in a safe place at all. ☢️

The governments of the world plan to hit net zero by 2070. 😱

This is a thread about heatwave deaths occuring right now across the world.

But remember, this is only a glimpse of what's to come. Earth is going to get much hotter in all scenarios - thanks to fossil fuels.

Wet bulb heat can kill hundreds of thousands of people in one go. 🧵 girls suffering from heat exhaustion in India More than 550 hajj pilgrims have died in Mecca, mostly due to temperatures exceeding 50C.

The @DailyMailUK regularly campaigns against climate action, even while reporting on climate-related catastrophes.

This morning, 750 staff at their Kensington HQ were handed a leaflet pointing out one recent example of this. 🧵 two stories from the Mail 1. Terror of Britons trapped by Greek flash floods 2. RUPERT DARWALL: Rishi Sunak has been bullied into a catastrophic onshore wind U-turn by a cabal of rebel Tories in thrall to Europe's eco-zealots What the Mail didn't say:

The flash floods on the Greek island Skiathos and the wildfires that killed 29 people on the Greek mainland were directly linked to an accelerating climate crisis which is triggering extreme weather events all over the world.

The new chair of the @IPCC_CH is @JimSkeaIPCC who is an esteemed physicist but needs to wise up about how psychology, politics and the media work in a world being destroyed by fossil fuels.

Here's his interview with @DerSpiegel which made headlines.

spiegel.de/wissenschaft/i… What did Skea say about @JustStop_Oil and @ExtinctionR?

As far as we know, he didn't even mention them.

But here's how @jwillchad in the @MailOnline reported his comments.

The @RishiSunak energy plan won’t drive down energy prices as (checks notes) @GregHands and @KwasiKwarteng have previously made clear.

And it certainly won’t cut emissions.

But it will cause mass death. 🧵

tweet from Sunak: the Conservatives energy plan: drive down energy prices cut emissions
Greg Hands tweet: We do want to import less gas, but more UK production wouldn’t reduce the global price of gas.
Kwasi Kwarteng tweet: UK production won’t materially affect the wholesale gas price. After five consecutive failed rainy seasons, flooding has replaced drought in East Africa where Rishi Sunak‘s parents lived before emigrating to Britain.

23 million people face severe hunger.

One cause is emissions from burning North Sea oil and gas.

People are suffering and dying all around the world as we move through the early stages of climate breakdown.

Newspapers around the world *are* covering this.

So what have the UK’s billionaire press got to say about it? 🧵 The @Telegraph report on the deadly European heatwave - then make light of it in a cack-handed cartoon.

Which leader of a high-emitting country will be first to tell the truth?

Crops are failing. Forests are burning. The air is thick with smoke. The oceans are overheating.

2050 is far, far too late.

2C is far, far too hot.

Everything must change, starting now. 🧵 photo of orange sky thick w... Crops are failing.

The Saturday edition of @thetimes is enormous - 310 pages. But it only managed one and a half inches on the prospect of half the world living with acute water stress by 2030. Water threat to billions - ... Still, that’s more coverage than the other billionaire-owned papers managed. They are determined to suppress the truth about the horrors facing us.

This thread on judges and juries being sympathetic to climate activists seems to have inspired at least three different articles so far. 🧵

"It’s not ‘the whole truth and nothing but the truth’ if campaigners cannot explain their motivations to a jury" - @GeorgeMonbiot

Why are activists being subjected to show trials and sent to prison for contempt if they so much as mention the climate?

Because when they're given a fair trial, judges & juries often find in their favour which legitimises direct action and properly scares the establishment. 🧵 In an extraordinarily positive and moving summing up, the judge at a recent @JustStop_Oil case told defendants "You should feel guilty for nothing. You should feel proud that you care, that you have concern for the future."

Why did XR rebels break windows at News UK, @TheSun and @TheTimes this morning?

They explain here - but get ready for a thread 🧵 with examples.

The Times made a huge lurch backwards just a week ago with this total rubbish from @MelanieLatest.

We could go into detail about what's wrong with it but really - just look out of the window.

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.

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.
