RT by @CarolineLucas: Cop28 president says there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels
Except the consensus of the world’s climate scientists, obviously 😡
Heavy use of climate denialist talking points like ‘taking us back into caves’ adds to worries https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/03/back-into-caves-cop28-president-dismisses-phase-out-of-fossil-fuels?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

So very sorry to hear of the death of Glenys Kinnock. She was so kind when I was elected to the European Parliament, warm, irreverent & funny and 100% committed to international development & global justice - my love & thoughts are with her family RIP

It’s been a long road since I first met Ash to see how the GLA could help, but fantastic news today that the Mayor has committed £130,000 to the project. #WorldAIDSDay 1/

PM's speech at
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23COP28
totally divorced from climate reality. He said "the gap between pledges & delivery is undermining credibility" whilst attempting to defend net zero rollback.
In truth we are not on track to deliver our targets & he has left UK's climate leadership in tatters
