Baseline used to determine how much our planet has warmed helps understand how this compares to climate of the past. For example in the Eemian, when sea levels were ~6-9 meters higher than today. We already reach temperatures above most estimates of the Eemian!

Apparently Coventry is building a tram line at less than a fifth of the per mile cost of the Edinburgh tram, and with a construction time of *eight weeks* rather than six years. The trick is the use of battery-powered trams and shallow prefabricated tracks. A potential

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) work. The myths don’t. LTNs make streets safer, fairer, and greener. We can’t let misinformation block progress on clean air, climate, and health. It’s time to clear the air and cut through the noise 👇 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

New analysis shows that lowering speeds on our roads is saving lives. Every death on our roads is one too many. Slower speeds not only protect the most vulnerable, but help create safer streets. We’ll continue working to eliminate death & serious injury on the transport network.

We’ve seen a 63% growth in cargo bikes across London, with more & more businesses recognising that switching van journeys to bikes isn’t just good for the environment, but saves them time & money. Great to meet handymanstation.co.uk in Richmond today.

"Increasing physical activity has health benefits across the life course. As part of this, we need to make walking and cycling more accessible, and safer, as well as access to green space easier and more equitable." Professor Chris Whitty #ACY25

New research shows ULEZ & London's improvements in air quality have "contributed to better physical health, which in turn has led to reduced sick leave and enhanced mental well-being." ULEZ is good for health, the environment & the economy💚 airqualitynews.com/local-governme…
