There is a new study in @NatureFoodJnl that suggests that 'food miles' account for nearly 20% of food emissions: nature.com/articles/s4301… This is way higher than previous studies! Except, this is not really the case & they're measuring very different things... 🧵👇

@Swifterbuck That's awesome, Kev. It's often easier than people think. What are your goals and main barriers with making the switch? I'd be happy to help / share some great resources. In the meantime, one of my favourite tips is just to start with any changes you can - as @joyfulvegan says 💚

@our_yesterdays *I realise I said "we" (apologies!) - to clarify: this shift is open to most people in high-consuming countries (can be cheaper & healthier too), and city-level action is underway to help increase access & education, with many institutions & businesses also getting on board.

@our_yesterdays Well I'd say the beauty of plant-based diet shift is it's neither hard nor dangerous and in fact brings multiple co-benefits, so whatever we can do to help bring about a just food system transition, we should. Here's a good place to start: plantbasedtreaty.org/endorse/

So, another "here's what 'we' need to do to save ourselves" article. So many articles. This by a former Chief Scientific Advisor to HMG. The usual - carbon dioxide removal, "resilience" etc. UTTER silence on a) elite failure and b) social movements. 1/n marchudson.net/2024/05/27/mor…

Doomerism ahead We're fubarred. Even if "we" de everything "right" unimaginable levels of horror, pain, extinction - for us and other species (like we care) - now locked in. 2nd half of 21st century will make 1st of 20th look like a golden age of peace, love & understanding. 5/5

@calaurence @GeorgeMonbiot @JamieWoodhouse @letsreplanet @DeBalie Thank you Catherine! Sentiocentric compassion isn’t enough if we get the facts wrong. We need a commitment to evidence and reason too. That doesn’t guarantee we’ll be right but it gives us the best chance - and means we’ll keep doing better instead of getting stuck in dogma.

Many thanks all for your very kind wishes. Fewer thanks to those who still deny either that covid exists or that it can have serious consequences. See the responses to this tweet. How many deaths, morbidities and long covid cases does it take before people accept the evidence?

@iamSandeepR Thanks. 3rd. Symptoms are cold-like so far

Much of my working life is spent fighting denial: denial of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss; water and air pollution; UK, US, Russian and Syrian warcrimes; government corruption; covid-19 etc. If we cannot engage honestly with the world, nothing can change for the better.

@RogerMerry1 @GeorgeMonbiot Hmm yes, steak, that well-known bulwark against chronic health conditions, zoonotic disease emergence, and destruction of planetary life support systems. 🤔

I'm out of bed and feeling a little better, though I'll be taking it very slowly this weekend. Thank you for all your good wishes.

There are some things that are really so small that they don't make a difference. But there are several big levers that we need to dramatically change to make a dent in global emissions. What we eat is a big one. I cover this here: ourworldindata.org/food-emissions…

The problem with the framing: "doing X won't save the planet" is that it applies to everything. No single thing will solve climate change. If our threshold for taking action is whether it will singlehandedly solve all our problems, we will do nothing.
