Changes are emerging across the climate system. Everywhere we look, the climate is changing rapidly. Rate of recent changes is unprecedented in at least 2000 years for many climate metrics. These changes are not natural; they are primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

Antimicrobial resistance, or #AMR, is a massive global threat. Listen to experts in public health, chemistry, environmental science, medicine & policy making explain what it's all about and what can/needs to be done - in the third season of our #BTYBChem podcast which is out now!

Good thread, with DaveFrame explaining why focussing on short term impacts of methane emissions is a problem. Unfortunately the trade off between CH4 and CO2 highlighted by Dan Miller is exactly what happens in carbon trading and national accounts denominated in CO2e

Just in time for CERAWeek, the The Payne Institute (and friends) has published the most comprehensive academic review of Carbon Capture, Utilization, & Storage (CCUS) literature. A free version is here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ggis4s9Hw9r…

It was a large release of methane, which is never welcome. But keep it in perspective. UN Environment Programme estimated that 75,000-230,000 tons escaped. The energy industry worldwide released ~135 million tons of methane in 2022. So the Nord Stream blast accounted for 0.06%-0.17% of the total

It really is this simple. The fact that we don’t do it is criminal.

Hi Northern Powergrid I’ve got a UPS and it’s triggered for over voltage on our network last week and again today (threshold 256 V which is beyond 230+10%). We had this problem in 2018. Can you DM me for follow up please, thanks.

Hi John Broderick! We're taking Government to court for shutting down #SaltCrossGardenVillage's #netzero ambitions. This case could impact all communities who want #netzero homes. We've 9 days to hit our legal fund target. Could you help us by sharing? tinyurl.com/yhfvy5u3

Following Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's announcements on net zero policy this week, we have joined forces with a large number of cross-industry professional bodies to issue a statement, which has been published in today's The Times and The Sunday Times Read more rsc.li/48udbRp
