Mother & grandma. Thought she was leaving education to write her book, spend time with her granddaughter, drink coffee with friends & walk the lakes. But then faced up to climate breakdown. Now doing all she can & hoping you are too.

When will mainstream media - mainly talking to YOU, BBC Today - stop letting politicians bang on endlessly about growth!!!!??? Increasingly irrelevant & stupid as we storm past 1.5 degrees. What do you think got us into all this shit?

And this one on fossil advertising too please, also with days left to run. govpetition.uk/700024 (The fact a public information campaign is needed is further demonstrated looking at a petition that has reached 100k, which confuses carbon dioxide removal with aerosol injection.)

Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced...

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

This is amazing: it’s incredibly windy in the UK right now, so only about 10% of the National Grid is currently being powered by fossil fuels.

I used to teach the difference between fact & opinion at the start of GCSE English courses. Some students found it very hard. Im guessing they ended up preyed upon by the Telegraph, the Sun & the Mail. The journalists know the difference though. Shame on them working for these rags.
