Andy Burnham is coming for your pension! By... er... increasing it by slightly less. Whereas Reform will scrap it completely.

Burnham has been hugely impressive the past few days. Finally, a leader who diagnoses the problem (40 years of neoliberal asset stripping) & pledges to tackle it. But Labour still has a blind spot when it comes to the climate crisis. He's a great Ned Stark but he doesn't realise winter is coming.

This new tool, the Carbon Impacts Tracer, which translates carbon emissions into real-world climate impacts like heat exposure and coral bleaching, looks super useful. ➡️ carbonimpactstracer.com
theguardian.com
New tool directly links carbon emissions to amount of environmental and economic damage caused
Carbon Impacts Tracer can be used to estimate climate impact from emissions across eight different factors, including lost food production

Here is how politics, in most cases, works: Rich and powerful interests, whether in fossil fuels, finance, big tech, media, meat, pharma or foreign governments, make a demand, and use their sophisticated tools to persuade a government to adopt it. The government adopts it. Please read whole🧵

Can I have some legitimate concerns please? Hello, UK government, I have a legitimate concern that temperatures will rise to a level that destroys many already-struggling nations, leading us in to an era of food scarcity wars. And now we wait for Andy Burnham to act on my legitimate concerns😎

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

We should probably treat any AR7 WGIII content on topics like carbon dioxide removal to stay below the Paris temperature goals with extreme caution, and read it with a big pot of salt.

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

Not to be pedantic but Christopher Harborne has already given £25 million to Reform and Ben Delo £8 million. So the figure isn’t £72 million - it’s £105 million.

I would argue that a critical element of any plan should be more public swordfighting! This was us at Corfe Castle last week - an amazing location for this sort of thing, and for just visiting. Such a dramatic ruin - in part because of how it was destroyed.

Gosh. Looking at what the Normans did and how they did it (and how their initial asset stripping approach to colonisation is reflected in modern end times capitalism), it’s difficult to say positive. But they did create a lot of history. I think this is a rather reductive question. OK, negative.

Financial (part 2) • Once deployed, it will take decades to reduce global temperatures because of the inertia in the climate system. We also won't know the counterfactual. How will policymakers in rich countries convince voters to spend trillions of dollars on poor people decades in the future?

This is why RCP8.5 has been used for studies of potential impacts - these are not projections, but hypothetical concentration pathways used to explore different warming trajectories.

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.
