🧵 “I asked ChatGPT why the average person feels worse off today – and which UK political party is best placed to fix it.”

The response was… blunt.

👇 [1/] 1. The problem isn’t in your head.
Most people are worse off than 20 years ago.

Wages haven’t kept up with the cost of living.

Public services are crumbling.

Energy bills, rent, transport, and food are all up — but your income isn’t.

🧵 Climate misinformation isn’t just dishonest — it’s dangerous. A thread on how denial and delay fuel catastrophe:

1.Climate change is already harming billions.

The IPCC confirms: it’s causing widespread irreversible damage to ecosystems, livelihoods, and human health.

“Some systems are already pushed beyond their ability to adapt.”
High confidence.

⬇️ 2.Over 3.5 billion people live in places highly vulnerable to climate impacts.

And yet fossil-funded groups keep spreading doubt, delaying action, and undermining trust in solutions like renewables.

That’s not free speech — it’s sabotage.

I’ve placed an order for a 7 kW #Solar PV array split across the North & South sides of the roof and 13.5 kWh of home battery storage from @heatableUK.

16 x 440W REA Fussion 2 bi-facial panels, 16 Tigo optimisers (mainly for panel level monitoring) and a Tesla powerwall 3. #NetZero #Climate #HeatPump #AirPollution

I went for a powerwall 3 because the battery will be mounted outside & it’s one of the few batteries that has active thermal management which will stop it derating in winter weather when I need it the most to reduce the running cost of the #HeatPump which is installed in November

Returned home & opened a few windows to let the heat out after a warm day & I was greeted by the smell of wood smoke. 🤦‍♂️

We need an urgent public health campaign that burning wood is neither a green, clean or healthy thing to do & it’s downright antisocial 2do in towns. #Chorley It’s amazing the response this one little tweet / post has generated. It’s like hundreds of toddlers have all thrown their toys out of the pram at once because they love burning shit🔥 😆

.@BBCr4today The significant reduction in road transport #AirPollution and its associated #health impacts that #ElectricCars enable should reduce #NHS demand lowering government spending that will partly offset lost fuel duty revenue. #r4today .@BBCr4today #r4today

So they are resulting to bribing people to accept #fracking in their communities. 25% of your energy bill but kids might develop #leukaemia, grandparents lives might be cut short and then there is #CimateChange & health damaging NO2 #AirPollution from just burning gas. Children living near oil and gas fracking have higher risk of leukaemia, study finds independent.co.uk/climate-change…
