Fifa's "commitment to an open and democratic consultation", reminded me of the "We come in peace" scene from the film Mars Attacks... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Heathrow is not just passing on the cost of airport expansion in higher ticket prices, but in: - noise pollution - mental health - local disruption - air pollution - more illness - an increasingly torched planet You have to mention the costs not on the ticket www.theguardian.com/business/202...

FIFA made this the most polluting World Cup ever and ignored expert heat safety advice, but new research shows climate impacts 4x more than the event itself from companies using it as a global advertising billboard for polluting products and lifestyle. www.cooldownclimate.org/latest/the-w...

Key point from the brilliant Prof @kevinclimate.bsky.social at the National Emergency Briefing, the UK's climate plans are based on the wildly untenable assumption that the country can have 3x its equitable share of the remaining global carbon budget for meeting the 1.5C guardrail.

Chris Packham kicking off the #NationalEmergencyBriefing making the simple point that ignoring scientific advice on climate, as are current government, costs lives, and that disinformation from fossil fuel interests is one of the biggest problems...

They say football is the beautiful game, but it can be a dirty one too, and in ways that you might not imagine. We've discovered that the game's dirtiest secret could be in how it lets itself be a billboard for some of the world's worst polluters... follow the 🧵 👇

Two stories on the BBC front page. Worse than Heathrow expansion being a dud, ineffective, polluting policy, is seeing such damage done just to send political signals. Government by dead gestures (in every sense) is hopeless...

Couldn't agree more - made me dig this out of the archives - cover story I wrote 21 years ago for @newstatesman.com arguing the same (probably too soon) when the big car-maker promoted shift to SUVs was gathering steam (smoke?) - @badvertising.bsky.social @adfreecities.bsky.social

Don't worry, all the additional expenditure caused by Storm Bert due to property damage, getting stranded because of transport failure etc etc will at least contribute to our government's economic growth priority 🙄... (river in South West 👇🏼)
