This is the #1 climatologist in the world: James Hansen.

He’s spent 50 years studying what humans are doing to the climate.

He's gone out on a limb time and time again - and been proven right.

His message? It’s far worse than they’re telling you. 🧵 James Hansen photo by Don J Usner Hansen grew up poor on a small farm in Iowa.

He saved up enough to attend university, studied physics and - by chance - came under the wing of space scientist James Van Allen.

That’s how he ended up in astrophysics. James A Van Allen from New Mexico Museum of Space History website

Why is the mainstream media silent about the coming collapse - even as the alarm is being sounded in the worlds of business and finance ? 🧵 A car looks towards the Lytton fire In January, the insurance industry warned of global economic collapse without immediate action - which has not happened. Current climate policies risk catastrophic societal and economic impacts 16 January 2025 The global economy could face a 50% loss in GDP between 2070 and 2090 unless immediate policy action on risks posed by the climate crisis is taken, warns a new report by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA).

The battle for the future of humanity is being fought within one family.

On one side: a government minister.

On the other: his cousin, an XR activist.

They survived Norway's worst recent trauma together.

Now they’re on opposite sides of the country's oil war.🧵 Vebjorn Bjelland Berg, first on the right, has staged climate protests © Carina Johansen / AFP Andreas Bjelland Eriksen and his younger cousin Vebjørn Bjelland Berg survived Anders Breivik's massacre together on Utoya Island. That bond forged in grief binds them.

But now Norway's rapacious appetite for fossil fuels is killing far more people than Breivik did.

Still reeling from @EvanHD's remarks on @BBCPM yesterday.

It looks like the BBC are going to gaslight us all the way to extinction.

But first, some history. 🧵 In 2015, the BBC reported scientists saying that most of the world's fossil fuel reserves needed to stay in the ground if dangerous global heating was to be avoided (and of course there should have been no new sources of oil, gas or coal).

In fact, air pollution is a factor in many deaths.

One man - @JonFullerGreen - has performed an invaluable but soul-destroying service for more than 5 years by monitoring the climate and nature coverage in the billionaire press.

As he hands this work over to others, here are his reflections. 🧵 photo of Jon Fuller on a train reading the billionaire press “These newspapers will never report on the greatest human suffering caused by climate breakdown - the over 1,000 infants killed every day by the increased spread of disease in our rapidly heating world. a child with dengue fever

BREAKING: Dr Patrick Hart is the first working GP to be sent to prison for nonviolent direct action. Sentenced to 12 months for a @JustStop_Oil action against @exxonmobil petrol pumps.

Why did he do it?

Because he's seen children die at the hands of the fossil fuel industry. Dr Hart has been a law-abiding citizen all his life, not even receiving a parking ticket until he took direct action.

What would drive someone like him to break the law?

The knowledge that laws can be unjust and patients will no longer live and die in dignity globally.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.
