Bought no coal or gas since 1977, no flights since 2006, no petrol since 2015. You can give up fossils too!

As the US doubles down on fossil fuels and blocks wind & solar installations, its emissions are ticking up.
In contrast, China's emissions appear to have peaked. In the last 2 yrs, they installed more new solar energy each year than the U.S. has in its entire history.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org
There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

Former Conservative Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi defends the claim that the UK has been colonised by immigrants.
Zahawi often criticised this kind of language before he joined Reform
Zahawi is arguing about net contributors - and ignoring the "colonised" comment about takeover + subjugation.
