Hear @al_chisholm & I reflect on @ranil's 2 week deadline for Water Co CEOs to update him on storm overflow plans. Are storm overflows the latest political football or are we seeing progress? #planetpossible #stormoverflows #CSOs @CIWEM

Very fair and balanced thread from @hausfath
Zeke Hausfather@hausfath
A good summary of views of scientists coming out of COP26. Some like @ClimateOpp are ready to declare the 1.5C dead, while others hold out a bit more hope based on enhanced long-term net-zero promises that countries have made. apnews.com/article/climat…

Peers of all parties are backing #EnvironmentBill changes to curb #sewage pollution & #airpollution, and give the new #OEP & courts full freedom to enforce the law.
A parliamentary vote is called a "division", but it's wonderful to see politicians come together for what's right.

This is drivel from the Sunday Telegraph, who have spent the last two weeks trying to argue that we’d made a glaring mistake in our Net Zero report from 2019.
In reality we are meticulous. And the economy costs of electric vehicles have fallen since 2019.

Parliament has made major #EnvironmentBill improvements:
⚡️Binding interim targets
⚡️Ending exemptions for green principles
⚡️Removing undue control over the OEP
⚡️Giving courts discretion over legal remedies
These must not be put at risk by a 4th delay.

NEW: Supply chain problems lead to Government/EA lowering regulations controlling discharge of effluent, when sewer/water cos suffer “shortage of chemicals” used to treat effluent “because of the UKs new relationship with the EU, Covid or other supply chain failures”… HT @JP_Biz

For clarity: Floods, droughts, wildfires, storms. Roads, rail, buildings, business, supply chains, power, nature, food, health. All in the firing line, and in a worse position than last time you were warned. #COP26

A very clear message coming out of @theCCCuk #climate change risk assessment: To all the Ministers either blissfully or consciously ignorant that this applies to you - wake up! This CCRA alarm has been going off for over a decade. Stop ignoring it. #COP26 bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

This is a tremendous step forward: bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
If it's designed well, this target could power the policy & investment needed to turn round the decline of #nature at last.
Thank you to everyone who has joined the #StateofNature campaign! Keep going until it's in law.
