🚨BREAKING🚨 UK emissions in 2023 fell to lowest since 1879, new Carbon Brief reveals 💷Emissions now 53% below 1990, as GDP up 82% ❤️‍🔥Drop in 2023 largely unrelated to policy ⛰️Coal now lowest since 1730s (!) 🚗Transport is largest sector, then buildings ⚡️Power now likely

Your regular reminder that solar farms take up less of the UK than golf courses - even on a pathway to net-zero carbonbrief.org/factcheck-is-s…

Another day at the The University of Sheffield Arctic field course. Group projects and data collection, from wood ant behaviour to structure in arctic ecosystems. Gareth Phoenix @DrHollyCroft Colin Osborne Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil

Now we’re looking at how microbial competition for P determines the responses in grasslands to elevated CO2 with Ben Keane - focusing on acidic vs calcareous grassland responses to changing atmospheric CO2 Gareth Phoenix Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil Biology at York
