Why I am heartily sick with climate sceptics' patronising and condescending insistence the public does not know what it thinks when overwhelming majorities say they want bolder climate action. businessgreen.com/blog-post/4325…

People get climate change and want it sorted out. I’m boring about this but we need to keep showing and normalising the widespread appetite for action.

Discussions about #climate and #nature may have been largely missing from the TV debates. But go to local hustings and people are talking about local issues - and calling for solutions, from cycle routes to restoring nature and supporting renewables thetimes.com/article/f05de0…

Renewables provided 50% of EU power in the first half of 2024 and nuclear provided a further 24%. Just staggering levels of gas and coal demand destroyed in remarkably short order. businessgreen.com/news/4329865/s…

❌ We NEVER want to see a sign like this ever again. ❌ The next government has the power to make that happen. They can end the need for food banks.

A new campaign - 'Strong Is Beautiful' - sees female professional rugby players posing in lingerie to help improve girls' confidence to participate in team sports. Why must the 'sell' always be about being beautiful, as if women are ornaments and that's our main purpose in life?

It's astonishing that Labour are going to win the biggest majority of the postwar era and the BBC cannot stop talking about Reform. Reform's relative success is absolutely part of the story but they are not the main story.

*the most important thing* on climate politics in this election: ✅ no serious story can be told that anyone voted anywhere against climate action. The mandate is so clear for the new Labour govt: crack on. And so many brilliant new MPs with climate and nature pedigree.

So The Green Party now have 4 seats - as many as the revolting Reform party are forecast to get. So why in god’s name is BBC News (UK) rabbiting on about Reform still and not talking about extraordinary Green performance??

These results are a resounding support for bolder #climate action 🌍 ➡️Huge gains for The Labour Party who promised to lower energy bills, insulate homes and invest in homegrown clean energy while getting us off oil and gas. ➡️ Record 4 The Green Party MPs

This is why the climate story from the new government needs to foreground the ways the system will change, not the ways people are expected to.

🧵New research from @moreincommon_ & E3G - Third Generation Environmentalism finds that while climate didn't dominate the 2024 election debate, it really did matter to voters! In fact far from voters not caring - Labour and Liberal Democrat voters ranked it as the third most important issue in deciding their vote.

✊People want climate leadership - and they vote for it. ✊Voters punish those who play fast and loose with our climate and our future. ✊ Climate denial and delay is not driving the Reform vote. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/exclusiv…

"It's not too late to get back on track" is exactly the message we need. People want strong climate leadership, and have backed a government with climate ambition. We now need a new story that shows how climate action is good for our homes, our jobs and our communities.

My ITV analysis on the Grenfell report, a tragedy ultimately about power - about who has it and who doesn’t. In the sixth richest country in the world, in its capital city dripping with wealth, 72 people died because people with power didn’t do enough to stop it happening.

The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize. Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition. It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.
