When your modelling indicates your unconscious bias

The way we vote is changing. On Thursday 4 May, you’ll need to bring photo ID when you go to the polling station. Need a reminder? 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 ❤️ and we’ll send you a reminder to bring yours.

I enjoyed this podcast. Sustainability and waste is not an easy needle to thread. But there are some really exciting opportunities to push and Viridor is leading on a whole bunch of them

My article for the The Guardian today on why a new oilfield that could potentially produce 500 million barrels of oil cannot be compatible with the UK’s ambitions to be a global leader in clean energy and deliver net zero by 2050 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This positoon on BP weak ESG talk. It assumes the risk from climate is only around competitors and means the fundamental risks of climate change are probably not being considered

Worth a read. Getting your ESG commitments right and avoiding greenwash pitfalls is more than a reputational risk now.

Every time Climate Change Committee produce another report the economics of inaction get starker. The benefits of action get clearer and the persistent weak ambition of the government are starker. Working in business, to drive positive change, ongoing limted action is deeply frustrating

Really excited to receive @jackthurston lost lanes book. My second one and really amazing routes. Cycling at it's very best for me.

This was the hopeful helpful thread I needed this evening as Europe bakes in the sun

Really beautiful rides courtesy of @jackthurston lost lanes west. One on dartmoor a miracle of gentle route planning in brutally hilly countryside

This is so important. We are all susceptible to conforming and our views are not objective despite put best efforts

This is just a nuts and amazing ride. Paris to brest and back. Not sure I could ever do cycling like this! Bravo

Reminder: There are still 12 years to go before sales of new fossil fuelled cars are due to be phased out in the UK (hybrids will continue to be sold until 2035)

This does not come as a surprise. But, if true, will be bad for the economy and bad for the planet. Net zero is not an economic drain. Deepening fossil fuel dependence is.

Enjoying the level of Conservatives led backlash against tonight's policy u-turns on #climate. This is encouraging to see that across most of the political spectrum there is a real recognition that clear net zero policies are good for the economy and for our future

As someone promoting CCS in the waste sector, I find this insightful analysis. CCS and blue Hydrogen have a role but it absolutely needs to be proven and scaled (this is about political will not technical delivery) + should be used when no realistic alternative available

Just read this. Fun it is* *if you're an energy nerd 🤓

I wonder if EUA members including Bosch UK British Gas Cadent Danfoss Group Schneider Electric Vaillant UK think they are getting good value for their fees, given the relevant govt minister thinks EUA head Mike Foster is "deranged"? Great lobbying tactics, 10/10!

To get the minister so frustrated he needs to take to X to challenge claims is very serious. I fail to understand why the gas boiler sector allows such poor representation.

There is not a little irony in reading the national infrastructure assessment while on my 3rd cancelled or delayed train this week while struggling for connectivity. Whoever forms next government needs to help move away from our poor historical record on Infrastructure.
