BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day! These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years. ShowYourStripes.info

I really think this is terribly disruptive & inconsiderate to block a road like this. Don’t the people responsible for causing this know that people have to get to work, get to daycare to pick up kids? Someone needs to be held responsible! We must not tolerate this.

Proposed changes to the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill will reduce the level of environmental protection provided for in law and amount to a regression, the OEP is warning. Find out more: bit.ly/45ABnj1

Trying to do some cool stuff in my parents house with Octopus Energy #Agile half hourly pricing, some smart plugs, and IFTTT but so far it's not going that smoothly 😂

2023 was the warmest year on record globally by a large margin. Another dark red stripe gets added, though I think I need a new colour. #ShowYourStripes

2023 was the warmest year on record, and was particularly extreme for the ocean areas (Think I need to add another darker red colour...) Data: HadSST4

Did you know that the average drill is only used for 3 minutes a year? From early February, residents will be able to borrow useful items from the new Library of Things in Patch Twickenham, rather than buying new! Vote on what you'd want to borrow ⬇️ orlo.uk/hsPzi

Really important intervention from ⁦Climate Change Committee⁩ this morning. It is clear in its recommendation the government should not roll over surplus emissions savings from the Third Carbon Budget to future Budgets. businessgreen.com/news/4179229/c…

Finally published - government's own review into Low Traffic Neighbourhoods shows that they are generally supported! Yet, despite their own research, this morning government has gone out with load of angry rhetoric against LTNs, 20mph & even bus lane cameras. Desperate stuff🤦

NEW CHART: How British electricity supplies are shifting decisively away from fossil fuels Super pleased with this very beautiful graphic, by my colleague Tom Pearson and reminiscent of Joy Division's iconic “Unknown Pleasures” album cover carbonbrief.org/chart-how-brit…

Serious people used to say this was impossible, and if it was possible it would be eye-wateringly expensive. Looks like they were wrong. businessgreen.com/news-analysis/… BG+

I recon we could measurably increase national happiness if nobody had to speak to the Virgin Media ❤️ customer service team ever again. Exasperating 😱🤯

This is a really important point. There’s inevitably going to be a lot of tension between yimbys and nimbys and conservationists and climate hawks in the coming months and years. One way to minimise it is to make sure that where you build, you build well. theguardian.com/society/articl…

If you get your commentary from X, the Daily Mail or GB News you might get the impression that a lot of people in Britain are opposed to climate action or think we're moving too fast That couldn't be further from the truth

The Richmond Council Mega Skip is coming to St Margaret’s & North Twickenham this Saturday, 5th October. It means we can get rid of our bulky items for free locally (Glebe Side, just off A316). It’s also a chance to find out more about donating and recycling unwanted items. Details⬇️

Notwithstanding everything else, Twitter pushes absolutely appalling content choices at me nowadays. I miss the twitter of 5-10 years ago! #townsquare
