New study on the dates of death of 456,000 people in London shows clear health impact of burning wood and solid fuels.

Global carbon capture and storage potential way overblown, study finds "study says the IPCC estimates are unfeasible" Also, "83% of the world’s current CCS capacity" is used for "enhanced oil recovery. 40% of that carbon leaks back into the atmosphere" news.mongabay.com/short-article/…

New research has found that over half of Britons want cities to have more car-free zones as people become more environmentally conscious and take part in World Car Free Day. gbnews.com/lifestyle/cars…

No more cold homes? Government set to consult on a policy requiring all private and social landlords to ensure properties meet Band C on an Energy Performance Certificate by 2030. I have been pushing this soooo long. Ed Matthew

"Water companies raise bonuses to £9.1m despite record sewage discharges." Yes you read that right. £3.3 million of that is Severn Trent while Thames Water 💧 has double its executive bonuses to £1.3 million. We've being had. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

I have never been into the idea of campaigning, to address the climate and ecological crisis. I have the greatest respect for those who do. I just wanted to find a way to change everything. We have not been making progress against a powerful and wealthy few, who block action! 1/2

looking forward to Nigel Farage, Oakeshott, Hartley-Brewer, GB News, the Mail and all the other crazies who demanded jail sentences (5 YEARS!) for Just Stop Oil protesters inconveniencing Londoners doing the same for the #farmersprotests 🚜

🚨SHOCKING FACT: UK police arrest environmental and climate protesters at nearly THREE TIMES the average global rate. Britain is a WORLD LEADER on cracking down on climate activism. The right to PEACEFUL protest is under ATTACK.

We should be a world leader in tackling the nature and climate emergency , instead , we're a world leader in arresting those brave individuals who are sounding the alarm . . . theguardian.com/environment/20…

I am genuinely outraged that our laws & justice system are bent. No one taking part in this protest will get treated the way climate protesters are treated in this country - no arrests or media outcry. Just Stop Oil have a blue light policy, meaning they will move for ambulances

I’m going to give it two weeks and then put in an FOI for the Metropolitan Police as to how many farmers were arrested for blocking traffic today, as JSO protesters were in the past. If none, I’ll be asking why. Wonder how they will spin this?

1/ Very odd and fishy programme on Panorama this evening focusing mostly on illegal motorbikes masquerading as "E-Bikes". Presented by Adrian Chiles who starts the programme saying he has never ridden an E-Bike before. 🐟
