The arguments around Net Zero are complex but here s a clear explanation of how the misinformation factory works. Churning polluting fake facts into the zeitgeist quite as dangerous as the fossil fuel fumes…

Despite plummeting reservoir levels, it's thought water bosses are reluctant to introduce hosepipe bans for fear of poor customer satisfaction ratings. In some areas, farmers have been told to restrict water use on crops but gardeners are still able to use hoses. 1/2

Some people in my mentions are saying "sure, Ocean Ramsey harasses sharks, but also she had a major shark conservation victory banning shark fishing in Hawaii"

This rule only applies to state waters, where almost no shark fishing happened.

She knows that, but hopes that you don't know that.

Why is there no significant action on Climate Change in spite of a having @Ed_Miliband in Gov? Because @RachelReevesMP works hand in glove with fossil fuel industry. In this exposé @writesbright.bsky.social gives the mechanics.

“August heat in May!!

And all the media can think of is recommending that we drink a lot of water, get in the shade and avoid going out in the middle hours of the day..., to change a system that leads us to #ClimateCollapse, for whatever it is, they always forget”
¡¡Calor de agosto en mayo!!

Y todo lo que se le ocurre a los medios de comunicación es recomendar que bebamos mucha agua, ponerse a la sombra y evitar salir a la calle en las horas centrales día..., de cambiar un sistema que nos conduce al #ColapsoClimático, por lo que sea, siempre se olvidan.
