OK we're back baby.

I'm not exactly well, but well *enough* to attempt a quiz stream tonight. I'll be joined by some creator friends playing quiz games from games.city... who are offering a donation match up to £2000 during the stream!

Hey everyone, this is an announcement I really didn't want to make. Unfortunately nurgle's rot (the flu) has struck our house and everyone is really quite sick*. Both to not infect anyone else, and because I'm very much not capable of streaming right now, I'm not going to be hosting the Jingle Jam quiz stream this year. This is the first Jingle Jam quiz I will have missed in (I think) 7 years, and I'm really quite gutted about it. The quiz is always a highlight of my year, and apart from being a great fundraiser it's a ton of fun. Fortunately the show will still go ahead, with hosting split between Boba and Harry. I wish them and all the tech team the best of luck. I know they'll do a cracking job and if I feel up to it, I'll be watching the stream with everyone else. ❤️ * fortunately pixel baby is over the worst of it, leaving us two sick adults to look after a newly-energised toddler 🥲

NEW: Global fossil fuel use will peak before 2030 – unless 'stated policies' are abandoned

Contra some terrible news coverage, IEA World Energy Outlook shows coal near peak, oil peaking by 2030 & gas by 2035 (see chart)

What's going on? 🧵 + cool charts

An email that reads: You climate alarmists are insufferable, insisting everyone follow YOUR lifestyle. Setting us all up for global totalitarianism, all for the gods of "net zero". How about you go fuck yourself, mmm-kay? carbon footprints are not going to be reduced, they will be increased in defiance! This is WAR buddy! many of us do not want your restrictive low carbon lifestyle, and find the pushing of it to be offensive. t is economicalyl destructive, and it's goal is ONLY to collapse ther western world, you fucking TRAITOR!!! We are nto going to fucking do it buddy, the net zero agenda. We are going to push back, and push back HARD motherfucker! Fuck off, greenie!

An excellent email I just received.

I feel like this has copypasta potential.

But that's not good enough.

Despair isn't helpful, and the people trying to obfuscate progress *want* you to give up.

The best we can do is take the hits and keep going.

Just keep showing up, and do your best.

Don't get me wrong, there have been reasons to be hopeful this month - see the latest IEA report predicting record renewables rollout, or the toppling of coal by renewables as the largest source of electricity.

But this has been an extremely bad month and this latest story has really got to me.

Landmark global shipping deal abandoned under US threats President Trump intervened in the talks calling the deal a

I think this might be the roughest month I've ever had as a climate communicator.

Well, scratch that. Someone who cares about the future of life on this planet.

This is just the shit cherry on top of a shit cake with shit frosting.

And it's only the 17th.

Hit an important milestone on YouTube today

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Should lying about climate change be illegal? YouTube video by Simon Clark

This year we've been really swinging for the fences.

Our latest video is our biggest one yet, nearly an hour long and involving half a dozen experts.

Asking "Should lying about climate change be illegal?" and, if so, how do we make it so?

I should say that as methaneSAT has sadly been lost, they've re-recorded the voiceover with a North American voice - which has the upside of not needing to listen to me this time!

That's from the BBC's coverage, I've not cared enough to look at multiple sources. Wouldn't be at all surprised if it was off, I know crowd counting is an inexact science

A character from the Sims crying in their kitchen

Getting angry at these people is like getting angry at your Sim.

It's not their fault that they have collapsed in a puddle of tears instead of making dinner. You have to look at the factors that led them to do that.

And fix them.

It's the same with climate skeptics. The people posting illiterate comments online are not the people that you should be angry at. The people you should be angry at are those manipulating illiterate people into acting this way, and of course the people paying them to do that.

But getting angry at these people is not the way that we get out of the political dichotomy the country is falling into. You have to look at the underlying issues and why these people feel this way and why they are choosing to make their feelings known in this manner.
