Notwithstanding everything else, Twitter pushes absolutely appalling content choices at me nowadays. I miss the twitter of 5-10 years ago! #townsquare

@ecjones @ed_hawkins @KindlyLoudly ❤️

This scarf is based on @ed_hawkins brilliant #ClimateStripes - showing average temps over the last century Knitted in memory of my eco-warrior daughter Ruby whose life was cut short by leukaemia Up for grabs in our auction to raise funds for cancer research in Ruby’s memory

If you get your commentary from X, the Daily Mail or GB News you might get the impression that a lot of people in Britain are opposed to climate action or think we're moving too fast That couldn't be further from the truth

The @LBRUT Mega Skip is coming to St Margaret’s & North Twickenham this Saturday, 5th October. It means we can get rid of our bulky items for free locally (Glebe Side, just off A316). It’s also a chance to find out more about donating and recycling unwanted items. Details⬇️

This is a really important point. There’s inevitably going to be a lot of tension between yimbys and nimbys and conservationists and climate hawks in the coming months and years. One way to minimise it is to make sure that where you build, you build well. theguardian.com/society/articl…

I recon we could measurably increase national happiness if nobody had to speak to the @virginmedia customer service team ever again. Exasperating 😱🤯

Fourth or fifth visit but can't help taking pictures of the beautiful #DyfiOspreyProject building every time; gorgeous 🤩

Sir Patrick Vallance absolutely correct here. thetimes.co.uk/article/9072cc…

Serious people used to say this was impossible, and if it was possible it would be eye-wateringly expensive. Looks like they were wrong. businessgreen.com/news-analysis/… BG+

NEW CHART: How British electricity supplies are shifting decisively away from fossil fuels Super pleased with this very beautiful graphic, by my colleague Tom Pearson and reminiscent of Joy Division's iconic “Unknown Pleasures” album cover carbonbrief.org/chart-how-brit…

@bp_plc Warming the planet *and* profiting from it... 🤨

Above the sea and below. While today we’re mostly in oil & gas, we’re also working to develop offshore wind with our partner EnBW. And, not or – that’s our approach.

@Conservatives Didn't realise this was a parody account! 😯

FACT: London under Labour has become a crime capital of the world 🥀

Finally published - government's own review into Low Traffic Neighbourhoods shows that they are generally supported! Yet, despite their own research, this morning government has gone out with load of angry rhetoric against LTNs, 20mph & even bus lane cameras. Desperate stuff🤦

Really important intervention from ⁦@theCCCuk⁩ this morning. It is clear in its recommendation the government should not roll over surplus emissions savings from the Third Carbon Budget to future Budgets. businessgreen.com/news/4179229/c…

Did you know that the average drill is only used for 3 minutes a year? From early February, residents will be able to borrow useful items from the new Library of Things in Patch Twickenham, rather than buying new! Vote on what you'd want to borrow ⬇️ orlo.uk/hsPzi

2023 was the warmest year on record, and was particularly extreme for the ocean areas (Think I need to add another darker red colour...) Data: HadSST4

2023 was the warmest year on record globally by a large margin. Another dark red stripe gets added, though I think I need a new colour. #ShowYourStripes

A really important appointment!! 👀 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Trying to do some cool stuff in my parents house with @OctopusEnergy #Agile half hourly pricing, some smart plugs, and @IFTTT but so far it's not going that smoothly 😂

Proposed changes to the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill will reduce the level of environmental protection provided for in law and amount to a regression, the OEP is warning. Find out more: bit.ly/45ABnj1
