Inside the UK court battles against fossil fuel extraction

[@jonscriven]

Surely it is a no-brainer that the emissions relating to the use of fossil fuels excavated from these sites need to be considered as part of any impact assessment?! 🤔🤦‍♂

What about caring about the child labor mining lithium for EV's, no one wants to talk about this.

Great news. The other day our wind and solar were only producing less than 5% of the power required its a joke . Lets get more coal and oil up to keep the lights on this winter.

Breathing generates about 1 kg of CO2 per person per day, there are about 7.9 billion humans so every day we breathe out around 7,900,000 tonnes of CO2 per day, animals breathe too.

So what are you suggesting? A cull?
