The question from the profiteers and government: " How much crap will they take before they start pushing back?" is being answered - people have had enough of being treated as fools and watching their environments and livelihoods, and post Dirty Business, now we know it - even lives, destroyed.

And I can't state this enough: Our estimates of high climate sensitivity are based on the best estimates of available observations. There is a high probability (from a risk perspective) that climate sensitivity is even higher than our seemingly 'higher' (than e.g. IPCC's +3°C for 2xCO₂) estimates.

🤑Thames Water CEO Chris Weston insists his 14% payrise this year is "absolutely deserved". And today Thames Water starts a campaign urging us to do our bit to save water this summer. This is their way of making us responsible for their lack of infrastructure maintenance & investment. And it stinks.
Screenshot of a headline from the Daily Mirror of 15 July: "Thames Water boss insists he 'deserves' huge pay rise despite rising bills and complaints. The inflation-busting leap came despite Thames Water being fined for missing pollution targets, average bills soaring by a third last year, and customer complaints rocketing 77%."Online advertisement from Thames Water, with the company logo top left, a graphic in the shape of a water drop containing the slogan "Every Drop Counts"top right, the main tagline "Our water saving summer" in the middle, and a link to a website thameswater.co.uk/calculator
