For a while I kept a little record of the BBC reporting on climate change. The page on their website was updated every few days.
The football page was updated every few hours. Sport in general was updated every few minutes.
Every severe climate change weather record had a footnote that you couldn’t directly attribute the event to climate change. Climate change deniers seize on this wibbling.
The future is really worrying. -

The biggest ever scientific study on climate anxiety and young people, published last year in the Lancet, found that nearly six in 10 people aged 16 to 25 were very or extremely worried about climate breakdown, nearly half of them reported climate distress or anxiety affecting their daily lives, and three-quarters agreed that “the future is frightening”. All the therapists I spoke to reported seeing a significant increase in climate anxiety in their consulting rooms.

Good to see the issue starting to make front pages /s

2 yrs ago, I wrote a story abt forests. Every scientist I spoke w/said we’re losing them to #climatechange faster than expected. And many aren’t coming back. So @natgeo decided dedicate an entire issue to the future of forests. Here it is. THREAD 1/20

I get emails from Fair Fuel UK who like to be very leading with their surveys.
Always good to get some votes in for active travel and supporting environmental legislation.

Such leading questions! Filled in regardless, hopefully get a slight bit of balance in the results.

We are consulting on proposals to expand the Ultra Low Emission Zone
(ULEZ(External link)) London-wide on 29 August 2023. We want to hear
your views on our proposals. These proposals are part of the
commitment by the Mayor of London and TfL to help improve air quality
and public health, tackle the climate emergency and reduce traffic
congestion across Greater London.It doesn't jump out but there is a survey at the bottom..

Another avalanche, caused by warming?

When the security services reported 3 years ago that extinction rebellion and other climate activists posed a domestic disruption/terrorism risk, they were prepping the stage for what’s coming.

is the disruption from ER/IB greater than that from climate change itself?
I don’t think they have tried burning down 41 properties in London as happened when we had 40° temps.
Only a climate change denier would suggest that the direct action groups are more threatening than what they are campaigning against. -
The fact they are saying in the leadership debates that they will only commit to the net zero commitments if they can be shown to not be a burden financially shows that don't get it still, is either spend now or spend much more in the future but that won't be their problem as they will be retired or in the lord's by that point, so just kick the can down the road a bit more

Exactly, they've had a glimpse in to the future
Many studies have pointed to the link between climate change and the outbreak of the Arab revolutions. “The Arab Spring and Climate Change,” published in 2013 by the Center for Climate and Security in Washington, says it was the failure of governments to meet their citizens’ basic needs, address climatic issues like droughts, desertification, and power shortages that led many people to take part in the political protests of the Arab Spring.
The affects of the Arab Spring still rumble almost a decade later in Syria, Yemen and millions still displaced from those conflicts

The new BBC series is worth a watch for anyone not familiar with the vast scale of just how corrosive corporate interests and lobbying have been to the climate change debate

is the disruption from ER/IB greater than that from climate change itself?
Therein lies the issue and the tragedy. As the effects of climate change increase, ER/IB will likely increase in their disruption, affecting the lives of people who have thus far been well insulated from the effects of the heavily polluting system they support. I would expect that eventually a fringe element will become more extreme in their direct action, and will be deemed a security threat; meanwhile, the economic systems that have caused climate change will continue adding gas to the fire consuming our entire world, before the framework burns to the ground.
