Daily commutes are a source of greenhouse gas which we can easily manage just by changes in behaviour. Cities need to ensure that their transport infrastructure is mature enough to allow people to make the switch youtube.com/shorts/VHxeaXy…

Queensland's new state Premier Steven Miles sets out environmental stance in two big wins: a 75% reduction in #GreenhouseGas emissions by 2035 and rejection of Clive Palmer's ridiculous coal-fired power station plan #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/australia-news…

France annouces scheme to subsidise EVs for low income workers. Twofold benefit: under the scheme workers get an EV for a monthly cost lower than a tank of fuel, and manufacturers are incentivised to make smaller, cheaper EVs for everyone #ClimateCrisis electrek.co/2023/12/18/che…

Could wood be the future of large wind turbines? Reducing steel usage for wind turbine towers would cut their manufacturing carbon cost and reduce the time for them to become carbon positive #ClimateCrisis bbc.com/news/science-e…

After generations of failing to deal with #GlobalWarming 2023 is the year that future generations will say we gave up on a deepening #ClimateCrisis. We put our economic wellbeing ahead of the lives of the less fortunate and our own children too theguardian.com/environment/20…

Years of failing to address the #ClimateCrisis, reduce #GreenhouseGas emissions and slow #GlobalWarming mean events like these will be more common. The Tory Government has been complicit with the fossil fuel industry in delaying action theguardian.com/environment/20…

Whilst the UK continues to damage its own natural flood defences and adopts policies which will worsen global warming, it will experience more extremes of weather, greater flooding and more damage as a result theguardian.com/environment/20…

The global average temperature in 2024 will exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels - decades quicker than even the most pessimistic predictions of 2015. Urgent #ClimateAction is required to prevent this snowballing into an unstoppable climate disaster theguardian.com/environment/20…

Public Transport is great - reduces traffic, improves air quality, makes city streets safer, and promotes better community health. Free public transport takes those benefits and accelerates them dramatically #ClimateCrisis randomdumber.blogspot.com/2024/01/its-ti…

The #FossilFuel industry is realising the tide of opinion is turning against it with each extreme weather event. It plans to spend millions sowing more disinformation. If we want to slow #GlobalWarming then fossil fuels need to stay in the ground theguardian.com/us-news/2024/j…

Norway fosters a green image by subsidising EVs extensively. Yet it continues to extract oil in huge quantities and will allow deep-sea mining and the massive environmental damage which will ensue. Impossible to reconcile these two things #ClimateCrisis bbc.com/news/science-e…

Why didn’t the Tories do anything about the Fujitsu/ Horizon scandal? Because they’re BALLS deep in it mate. Fuck loads of contracts, the upper echelons of Fujitsu involved with the govt, Paula Vennells given a CBE and appointed to the cab office. They rewarded the perpetrators.

Suing the Dutch Government may drive #ClimateAction but it’s too late for Bonaire. Better for island states to sue oil companies. Damages could be in the trillions. When extraction is unprofitable then companies will leave oil in the ground #JustStopOil theguardian.com/environment/20…

Just finished reading Ultra Processed People by Chris van Tulleken 🏳️‍🌈 and I highly recommend it - especially to parents. Will change the way you see the products you feed your family. Big Food is just as dangerous as Big Oil.

The world's largest PR firm promised not to work on #ClimateDenial projects - decided that pledge was overridden by its desire for profits. Another company guilty of #Greenwashing in the face of a deepening #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/us-news/2024/j…

Failing to even slow the rate at which #GreenhouseGas emissions are rising means that the negative effects of #GlobalWarming are arriving much sooner than previously thought. To prevent a harsher #ClimateCrisis we must demand #ClimateActionNow randomdumber.blogspot.com/2023/05/global…

This bill and the promise to max out North Sea oil reserves are nothing short of climate vandalism by a corrupt government, which knows its time in power is coming to an end. Once granted, a drilling license cannot be reversed #ClimateCrisis #JustStopOil theguardian.com/environment/20…

The US Propane industry has been following Greenwashing 101 over the last couple of years. Not totally surprising news. To be clear, Propane is not a green source of energy #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/us-news/2024/j…

Water scarcity hits Barcelona and we are only in February - what are things going to be like by July? How will the city cope with extreme summer temperatures and restrictions on water usage? #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/world/2024/feb…

Only a third of Parisians own any sort of car, fewer still large SUVs. The decision to make drivers of monstrous 4x4s less welcome in the city sends a strong message. Other European Capitals need to follow this lead #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/world/2024/feb…
