Hey @NationalGridUK - you know full well that DC undergrounding is pretty much cost comparable to or cheaper than pylons. It's what they favour in Germany. It's much cheaper than AC undergrounding thetimes.com/uk/environment… Essex Suffolk Norfolk Pylons Ed Miliband

There is a widespread false belief, that creating more renewable energy, and having more electric vehicles is taking climate action. Unless it is part of a coordinated strategy, to phase out fossil fuels, it is not addressing the climate crisis at all. 1/🧵

Remember, the policies that got us into this, won't get us out of it, and governments intend to double the level of warming. #Reality 🔥 e360.yale.edu/digest/wildfir…

Just a winter day.... 40.5C at Puerto Suarez BOLIVIA today, up to 40C in Paraguay and 37C in Argentina. Night minimums up to 29.5C ! >35C in the Argentine Andes above 1300m asl with rh% below 1% :dew points near -40C ! Very cold air will push back this oven to winter again ‼️

Scientists who stick rigidly to IPCC assumptions say climate change is not abrupt. And yet in just 3 years they've gone from saying we can limit warming to 1.4-1.8°C in 2100 to now saying we must expect closer to 2.8-3.6°C.. exactly as people told them! Now that's abrupt change.

This decision is almost bound to tip large areas of the Amazon to more fire, drought and ecological devastation, and add to the chance of a series of tipping points wrecking the whole life supporting biosphere, it means rapidly sending the planet into a desolate Hothouse

State of the Cryosphere Report 2024: "rapid, irreversible, and disastrous impacts worldwide'" Lost Ice, Global Damage 'a combination of melting polar ice sheets, vanishing glaciers, and thawing permafrost will have rapid, irreversible, and disastrous impacts worldwide'

What are your thoughts on "all-weather" pitches? Not really "all-weather", are they? But at least it can't be played on when flooded - a bonus. If this was natural grass it would drain away and be playable again, whereas this mess will take a while to remedy and cost a lot. .

How much of your #skincare 🫧🧼😶‍🌫️ routine contains #palmoil? If you brands like #Aveeno Johnson and Johnson and #Olay you're lathering #ecocide onto your face. Instead go #PalmOilFree 💡 and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife 🌴🪔🩸🤢🔥🚫 @palmoildetect palmoildetectives.com/2021/02/11/pal…

🚨Thames Water is in crisis! 🚨 82% of us want publicly owned water. If MPs truly represent us, they must reflect OUR views. It's great to have John McDonnell taking the pledge. Take 1 minute to get your MP to pledge to make Thames Water public. 👇 vist.ly/44bi8

💡Fonterra has agreed to sell Anchor Butter etc. for $3.845 billion. Since we've ALL paid the price of decades of excessive pollution of our fresh water and the climate by intensive dairy, that money should now go into fixing the damage! #MakePollutersPay #nzpol #TooManyCows

👮‍♀️ Met Police: “There's only been eight" facial recognition misidentifications this year… Imagine bragging about wrongly accusing eight innocent people of being criminals using AI surveillance. Orwell’s worst nightmares are coming true - we must fight back.

BREAKING: as global warming accelerates wildly just as expected, excessively sanguine climate scientists begin to say there's a danger in being excessively sanguine

Establishment-friendly scientists who spent the last 5-10 years berating so-called 'doomers' now suddenly say best-case scenarios are off the table and avoiding dire 2.5-3°C is implausible (given economic growth). They're silent on the awful implications. x.com/ClimateBen/sta…
