We’re on a Break.
For many years we’ve enjoyed being part of a Twitter community that has taught, inspired and entertained us. Sadly, we need to take a break. Responsible 100 exists to catalyse the ‘Race To the Top’ - where ethics, responsibility, openness and transparency🧵1/2

This is what the hottest year in the last 125,000 years looks like (so far).
Spoiler. Next year will be hotter.

Water companies are lining their pockets while they turn our rivers into sewage-swamps. 🤢💰
Their CEOs are splurging on bonuses, making shareholders rich, and then have the nerve to stick us with the cleanup bill. 🤢 💰

We’ve lost our minds.
🚨 NEW: Greta Thunberg has just been detained protesting a Big Oil conference in London.
This was her powerful message to the fossil fuel industry before she was detained.

In a democratic society, we should have the right to hold a placard in protest, without fear of imprisonment. Read more about those standing with #TrudiWarner goodlawproject.org/hundreds-…

Words like ‘piss up’ and ‘brewery’ spring to mind when reading about the Tory’s latest flop - not one single bid for a new offshore wind project in the latest green energy contest. The reason is simple, the price has been driven too low. Developers are already walking away from contracts won in the last round - where offshore hit ‘record’ but clearly unsustainably low prices.
At the root of it is a Tory addiction to market solutions - right now it’s resulting in no projects, but even when it does produce results, the benefits go to foreign owned companies. British taxpayers guarantee profit margins for foreign investors - it sucks value out of our economy. The proper alternative is to build in public ownership, keep the benefits here.
Britain is the Saudi Arabia of wind (in that we have a lot of it) - and still the hapless Tory govt can’t get any built. Dogged adherence to a failed ideology is the reason - markets don’t always know best. Roll on the election.

I really wish I could be shocked by this, but unfortunately stories like this are not in the least bit surprising anymore.

@GlblCtzn, the nonprofit hosting rock concerts they say help end poverty & fight climate change, offering tickets to those who tweet @Wimbledon 🎾 to get them to drop sponsors @Barclays due to fossil fuel investments.
