There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.
This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵

No because this is evil. I failed my English GCSE, failed 6/11, because I was going through it at 16. But I’ve now graduated my masters with a 1st. This will undoubtedly hit students from lower income families and from the most deprived areas who would need funding the most.

In 2020, not only did Shell not pay any tax in the UK, the only country in which it operates where it didn’t, Shell picked up nearly £100m from taxpayers in rebates. Yet, even now, the chancellor is refusing to step in and try and claw some back with a windfall tax. Hmmm. – at Ponteland, England

Today we learnt energy prices are going up 54% from April. 6.5 million households will be in fuel poverty.
Also today, Shell announced profits of $19,300,000,000.
We need a windfall tax now.

#COP26 has been named the must excluding COP ever.
This is no longer a climate conference.
This is a Global North greenwash festival.
A two week celebration of business as usual and blah blah blah.
