Eco Council

The #G7 knows that the easiest way to phase out all fossil fuels… is to phase out all fossil fuels! To keep 1.5°C within reach, we must: ✅ rapidly cut *actual emissions* & scale up solutions like renewables ❌ NOT rely on unproven carbon management tech like CDR, CCS, CCUS.

We're moving in the right direction! Salt marsh conservation and restoration is also an important #NaturalClimateSolution. Win-win 👏 #BlueCarbon

#readthis it’s so good!

Thank you everyone who school striked for the climate today around the world, in 131 countries and counting! And South- and North America are not done yet! This picture is from Stockholm today. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike #SchoolStrike4Climate

@RHarrabin Interesting that this needs saying...

@reading_greens @_Jameslloyd @PhilipRBox @ReadingCouncil @getreading @rdgchronicle This is not about selective removal of noxious weeds but a conscious management decision to use herbicide over grass cutters. People should be held to account. #glyphosate is a toxic chemical and should not be used around schools and playgrounds.

@_Jameslloyd @PhilipRBox @ReadingCouncil @getreading @rdgchronicle democracy.reading.gov.uk/documents/s505… if that link works, it should have Brenda's question on Glyphosate

So sad to see ⁦@ReadingCouncil⁩ using Roundup to kill plants around children’s playground this kind of herbicide poison should be nowhere near #kids ⁦@getreading⁩ ⁦@reading_greens⁩ ⁦@rdgchronicle⁩

@_Jameslloyd @ReadingCouncil @getreading @reading_greens @rdgchronicle Things Reading council can afford: ✅ litres of poisonous weedkiller for near playgrounds ✅ Hired tractors to mangle the hedges and cut the grass Things they can't afford: ❌ Emptying park bins before they overflow ❌ Wildflower Meadows

@AndrewSimms_uk Have you forgotten something what about landuse @andrewsimms_uk

So, if there's a #ClimateEmergency - we can expect: - massive onshore wind power programme - Heathrow expansion cancelled - Fracking cancelled - An end to fossil fuel subsidies - Buses, trams & trains replacing cars - multi billion Green New Deal retrofitting homes & more Yes?

@GreenRupertRead Serious question? Why would you want to go to the effort? Not sure I understand the problem that they are trying to solve? #nature

This kind of thing is evidence of extreme alienation from the natural world. The instigators should be not only scorned but pitied:

One of the most important topics at UN climate summit #COP24 is Public Engagement, and we were delighted to not only share our insights but also engage in conversation with participants at this Side Event - watch the recording bit.ly/2Egs92x

The @IPCC_CH report on #GlobalWarming of 1.5°C is one of the most important #climatechange reports ever published. Limiting temperature increase requires unprecedented changes in society, but will have huge benefits. Every half a degree of warming matters. ipcc.ch/report/sr15/

A week on and here’s an update about #ThePeoplesManifestoForWildlife - we want your ideas , more input from farmers and there will be new Ministries . . . details coming soon

📣 @MarkWatts40 joins @jacindaardern & @PEspinosaC to launch the #carbonneutrality coalition at @UN to promote ambitious long-term #climate action carbon-neutrality.global

Did you watch the #QueensGreenPlanet ? Here’s a bit of background into the top 10 countries in the #Commonwealth w/ the greatest potential to use #reforestation to address #climatechange

When politics tolerates falsehood and deceit and promotes to those who champion lies, democracy becomes vulnerable and fragile
