@ScottBentonMP Do you mean we need more people prepared to take a stand against governments that roll back on their promises to deliver a sustainable economy and future? In that case I agree.

Surreal to hold a real, physical copy in my hand.

@AmyEcon It’s the biggest problem I face - closely followed by the volume of meetings. As a sign of how bad it is - I have to book “work” days in my diary to get any research done

I observe that people in academia are increasingly unable to keep up with the volume of email they receive, and thus miss important things. What can we collectively do to reduce the ongoing flood?

This is what the world will look like over the next 100 years...if we fail to act. We have no time for business as usual.

@Joelscotthalkes This makes no sense. Even if nothing ever ever goes wrong (including the 200,000 year half life of plutonium) this is one of the most expensive ways to generate electricity

Greens are rapidly changing their mind about #nuclear energy.

Many countries exclude renewable energy projects from being built on certain areas of land (e.g. National Parks, high-quality farmland) to protect the environment & food security.
In this 🧵, I summarise my latest paper looking at the implications of using such exclusions (1/7)

Removal of hedges to make larger fields is but one factor leading to massive biodiversity declines in farmed landscapes. This sequence reveals how this bit of landscape went from about 40 fields to around half that.

This is a remarkable piece of work. 90 years of changes in landuse on a tiny corner of England. Extensively researched. Multiply by thousands and you can understand the collapse of biodiversity and increased flash flooding. By @outhwaitegeorge

After the economic nonsense and environmental degradation proposed by Rees-Mogg and Co promoting fracking and curtailing wind and solar power, it’s important to recognise that some in the Conservative Party are promoting sensible policies for cheaper, greener energy
Conservative Environment Network@CEN_HQ
So far, 3⃣2⃣ Conservative MPs have signed the amendment to end the onshore wind ban. We can lower people's energy bills by building new cheap, clean onshore wind farms where communities agree. It's time to unlock Britain's wind power potential.
