The solution is simple: Electrify everything (eliminate combustion); Provide the electricity with #WindWaterSolar; Deploy what we have as fast as possible; Keep our eyes on the ball (don't get distracted with weak- or non-solutions).

"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis." — Professor @jrockstrom #ActOnClimate

This school in Denmark is covered in #solar panels. It's the longest solar panel facade in the world. RT if you think all schools should get a solar upgrade. #ActOnClimate #climate #renewables #sustainability #solar #energy #innovation #tech #design #GreenNewDeal

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

@campbellclaret @KateRaworth You are right @campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK at the end of the interview with @KateRaworth about being old and sceptical. It was really disappointing that you were not more helpful and we’re not able to turn the barriers you were stressing to opportunities and ideas.

If you want to hear more of @KateRaworth check out our last LEADING interview which has had a lot of traction and a lot of support for her basic arguments. Next up Monday is Part 1 Sir John Major … pod.link/1665265193

@COP28_UAE climateactiontracker.org/countries/uae/…”.

In less than 6️⃣ months, the world 🌍 will UNITE in the UAE 🇦🇪 as one global community to ACT on climate and DELIVER on our promises, leaving no one behind! ⏰ November 30 - December 12, 2023 📍 Expo City Dubai #COP28UAE

@COP28_UAE UAE producing 2,891,000 barrels of oil a day….

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.

#ClimateChange denial has now evolved into climate delay Companies, politicians & lobbyists justify inaction, by focusing on the possible negative social effects of climate policies and raise doubt that mitigation is possible. Which one are you? leolinne.com/?portfolio=dis…

Today, @UNSG @antonioguterres urged for more ambition & action to cut carbon emissions by 45% by 2030. #IPCC's #ClimateReport shows that current policies are not on track to limit #globalwarming to 1.5°C. 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23

The next 18 months are going to shake us all to our core. Nothing will be the same ever again . I hope when people understand how badly the media has failed to warn us they shut most of the media down. Look for yourself. Thermometers don’t lie.

Another day, another record for the North Atlantic. Everything is happening so fast, it's hard to get a sense of the enormity of these anomalies, let alone their consequences.

Got chatting to some people at the bus stop. Showed them this graph. They didn’t believe it was true. It is. From the University of Reading. They said why isn’t this on the news? Quite. People are right to panic when they see it. @bbcnews @skynews @itvnews @cnn

Why do we need #Sustainable #Concrete? Why does the #cement industry need to tackle it's #CarbonFootprint in the race to #netzero? Watch video below ⬇️ @KJChalvatzis @UCLanResearch @UEAResearch @Channel_Manche @TiagoBotelho77 @ClimateUEA_ @EqiomGroupeCRH @theGCCA @ukConcrete

@SustainableTall This is all so problematic - I don’t think there is really a sustainable tall. The taller you go, the more embodied carbon per m2. Apart from that, I really enjoy your tweets!

If you’re going to build high-rise don’t use all glass curtain walling. Do something like this instead… Platina 220, São Paulo, Königsberger Vannucchi Arquitetos Associados dezeen.com/2023/03/10/kon…

NEW ANALYSIS 📉UK emissions fell 3.4% in 2022 🎻Coal was lowest since 1757, when George II was king ♨️Only part of 2022 fall due to climate action 🚚✈️Oil use grew 🏘️Gas fell on warm weather, weak demand 🎯UK remains off track for net-zero THREAD carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-em…

Amazing resources from @NatBullard super interesting - thank you Nat.

Climate deniers love to point out the 100,000 tons of lithium used for clean energy technology. But they never mention the ~15,000,000,000 tons of fossil fuels mined every year.

This is so cool! Roof-mounted heat pumps being tested by Bellway Homes at @energy_house2 @ehl_salford We need more house builders leading on this stuff rather than lobbying to delay implementation Thanks for sharing the article @Eastreadingcom @ngterry5 coolingpost.com/uk-news/roof-m…

@NicholasHellen @Zipcar @hiyacar @allpartycycling @EmilyKerr36 Fabulous move - keep us posted! Really interesting to see if our streets evolve from being linear car parks - if there is less private car ownership.

Off to the scrapyard after 20 years and 202,452 trouble-free miles On the brink of getting an #EV gift-wrapped with super-low BiK rates when we decided to try going car-free Wish us luck! ⁦@Zipcar⁩ ⁦@hiyacar⁩ ⁦@allpartycycling⁩ ⁦@EmilyKerr36⁩
