A bunch of reactionary centrist pundits have decided that climate change isn't that big of a deal anymore. These climate scientists strongly disagree.

The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality
The world bet on collective but voluntary action to keep global warming at a safe level.

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.

This is the conclusion reached by @ethz.ch researchers on the basis of new calculations. Efforts to reduce carbon emissions should therefore continue at pace"

This is one of the most damning videos I’ve ever watched of Farage.
He essentially admits being racist at school - only says he didn’t do it “with intent”.
The quiver in his voice at the end - he knows he can’t squirm out of this one.
