A chief world scientist says we’re on track for 3-5C of warming. That's an uninhabitable world.

🚨BREAKING: Oil giant BP has DROPPED a target to cut its oil output in the next five years. Big Oil is prioritising shareholder PROFIT over the future of life on earth. Pass it on.

"Transporting and storing the gas are hidden costs that new research finds will make it uncompetitive as a decarbonization solution." If only someone had pointed that out years ago. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We cannot and will not give up on our calls for an immediate ceasefire both in Gaza and Lebanon, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages, and immediate lifesaving aid to all those who desperately need it. All people in the region deserve to live in peace.

Industries like cement, iron and steel require vast amounts of process heat. ❗️This results in 1/5 of global CO2 emissions. ➡️ The good news: most process heat can be electrified. That is more efficient and enables the use of clean power.

For young and old alike, cycling is more than transportation, it's a means of participation in society. With two-thirds of trips made by bike, teens are the demographic that rides the most in the Netherlands. The 65 to 75 age group rides the second-most podcast.schuttelaar-partners.com/2107559/episod…

The Amazon rainforest is home to over 3 million animal species. It stores 4x as much CO2 as the earth emits in a year. Losing the Amazon means losing to climate change. We must protect the Amazon and the world's vital forests. #ActOnClimate #climate #biodiversity #SDGs

The FACT that as researchers at the University of Exeter showed last week continued investment in carbon-intensive industries will drastically increase the amount of 'stranded assets' & that: “The longer we wait, the more disorderly the transition will be” news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-env…

In a competitive field this is one of the worst things I have ever read on climate change and net zero. A complete failure to understand either the pace of the clean tech revolution or the severity of the climate crisis. It is tacit climate denial and defeatism in equal measure.

One last point on this leader is that it is essentially climate scepticism. I wrote this piece back in 2021, and depressingly it still stands. businessgreen.com/blog-post/4035…

If we cant keep warming to 1.5C, we can simply 'overshoot'. 🌍🔥🌡️🏹 The idea goes as follows: we temporarily exceed 1.5C before returning below it at a later stage. In a new paper nature we show how overconfidence in our discussions hides the deep risks of such strategy. /1

When I'm told on social media that heat pumps don't work in old buildings I usually invite people to my 144 Victorian house in Oxford to see it with their own eyes. So far no one has accepted the invitation so I allow you to virtually step inside my house. Come on in! PS: I

Yes heat pumps work in poorly insulated buildings. Reposting this information as numerous commentators under my last heat pump post keep peddling the myth that heat pumps require highly insulated buildings. Heat pumps can work in any building if sized, designed and installed

Jan Rosenow I can confirm that Heat Pumps work fine even in a poorly insulated building. We live in quite a leaky barn conversion and have had a heat pump for more than two years now. Our house is at least as warm as it was before with a dirty, noisy, and unreliable oil-fired boiler.

The Netherlands’ systematic approach to road safety—especially on walking and cycling—is a textbook application of the Hierarchy of Controls: an industrial method which identifies a preferred order of actions to best reduce hazard exposure based on their general effectiveness…🧵

Inevitably there’s considerable interest in what impacts a Valencia type of rainfall event would have on the UK. A 🧵 metro.co.uk/2024/11/01/hap…

Illegal Israeli settlers are making the olive groves in the West Bank a battleground, forcing out local communities.
