85% of this coal is for export. The U.K. steel industry doesnโ€™t need it and is better off importing from responsible countries. The carbon cost is huge. This mine is not compatible with U.K. climate goals. Gove knows all this. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politiโ€ฆ

At COP26 last year Sir David Attenborough asked โ€œIs this the way our story is due to end?โ€ We are careering towards the point of no return in the name of profit. And we are being lied to in a staggeringly transparent manner. โฆClientEarthโฉ โฆโฉ theguardian.com/environment/20โ€ฆ

โ€œThis new #coalmine will export 85% of its production. The Government has produced figures that don't include the emissions of the #coal being burnt. Nations importing this coal will take it and burn it.โ€โ€”John Deben #cumbriacoalmine #cumbriancoal

We are dismayed, disappointed, and deeply concerned. UK Gov has just approved the use of a banned pesticide so powerful; a single teaspoon could kill 1.25 billion bees. This is a huge mistake. If we want to #DefendNature we must #SayNoToNeonics. ๐Ÿ‘‰ wtru.st/say-no-neonicsโ€ฆ

Is there anything more infuriating in academia than a reviewer claiming 'they couldn't open the SI'? Email the editor and tell them, don't use your own ineptitude as one of the reasons for rejection!!! And please don't add you find it 'hard to believe the results.'
