#MelbourneCup research[dodgy]

@StephenFlynnSNP @NHSGrampian

This is how bullies operate, they will say you are to blame but not care about why! Mrs Dickson and her practice has misrepresented me for the last time.

It was her staff who were rude and hung up on me because it was 16:50pm and she was tired.

The fact is, for the what 20th time, holburn medical got my prescription wrong, the day before Christmas Eve after ordering well in advance.

I have anxiety disorder, they know this. I had every right to be annoyed and while I was firm but not aggressive or shouting.

Her receptionist told me for NO REASON to "stop shouting" even though I was just speaking. When I tried to say 'hey, I'm not shouting, I just am annoyed and want help' she hung up the phone on me.

I called back and tried to explain what happens to someone else, who was also rude. I explained and said 'look, I'm working tomorrow, I need to know this is sorted', to this the woman rudley snipped back with zero empathy "well, we are working too"... This blew my mind.

I was not calling their work into question and I was in no way trying to boast, I was just trying to get help but when I said 'won't, I'm not trying to be funny ' this second woman turned it into an argument and hung up! I was left awestruck at this treatment.

Excited to be able to share this comprehensive review on the many ways that climate change is increasing bushfire risk in southeast Australia, just published in @CommsEarth.

Thread 👇 describing what we found:

[paper is open

This was a huge collaborative effort across climate and fire science experts, including from @ClimateExtremes and @BushfireHub, who came together following the #BlackSummer disaster in Australia.

Our review focuses on forest fires in southeast Australia (NSW + ACT + Victoria).

The #BlackSummer fires were unprecedented:

*In their scale (23% of all southeast Australia forests were burnt)

*In their power (for every month of the spring and summer seasons), and

*In the number of fires that developed into extreme pyroconvective events

Climate in SE Australia in 2019 was also the hottest and driest on record.

Regional warming is part of human-caused global warming trend.

Dry conditions were part of a 3-year drought with consecutive winter rain failures. Long-term winter drying trend appears to be emerging.

Dry years in southeast Australia are usually also hot, (and wet years are usually cool), due to land-atmosphere feedbacks.

And years of large bushfires in southeast Australia have clustered in the hot-&-dry quadrant of historical climate conditions

When we call @medialens "Our Friends" we do so collectively for they are the friends of anyone engaged in a struggle to save the planet from rampant kleptocracy and the excesses of Billionaire media control.
This thread draws on their 2009 work "Newspeak in the 21st Century"

In it they have created a list of Key issues that should have been debated by Politicians, Academics and the media, concerning Climate change issues. All three groups have not only failed to debate it, but have actively tried to blot them out of the discussion. List as follows:-

1 A capitalist system that places Corporate Shareholder Profits above ALL else, represents an inherently biocidal, indeed psychopathic logic. How does this corporate immorality dodge any discussion that is relevant to the industrial destruction of global life-support systems?

2 Corporations have consistently worked to deliver short-term profits over human and animal welfare. Look how they fought links between smoking/cancer; junk food/obesity; fossil fuel use/climate change; factory farming/animal suffering, high salt/Sugar diets and illness.

3 A relentless corporate lobbying campaign of elected governments to introduce, shape and strengthen policies to promote and protect unelected private power.
Still largely unchallenged by the corporate media a decade after this book was published

HAPPENING NOW: I'm on the call now where Derrek Evans is having an initial appearance before Magistrate Eifert. They are reading the allegations out loud.

*Derrick

They are laying out, second by second, what was seen on the since deleted video posted to Evans' Facebook live-stream.

Also talking about other posts on Evans' FB page leading up to the Jan. 6 protest in D.C.

Now they are reading Evans' "official statement" where he said he was an independent member of the media.
