Interesting new study from @UniUtrecht. Conclusions in line with our previous research: 1) most plastic in the ocean are large objects 2) the plastic in the ocean is very persistent & is mainly floating on the sea surface 3) inflow is much lower than the big numbers often quoted

Listening to Chris Philp on @BBCr4today talking about ‘protecting the public from @JustStop_Oil protesters’ . Saying nothing about protecting the public from climate breakdown as the government plans to drop flagship £11.6bn climate pledge . . . FFS ! Yesterday was the hottest day on earth

@ChrisGPackham @plymouthcc @Natures_Voice @DevonWildlife Unbelievable

What the actual ? @plymouthcc what is the matter with you ? What do you not understand ? Despicable vandalism @Natures_Voice @DevonWildlife

"We are already deep into the trajectory towards collapse,” said Steffen, top earth system scientist. “There is a very big risk that we will just end our civilisation”: Prof Schellnhuber, former Director Emeritus, @PIK_Climate, world renowned scientist. resilience.org/stories/2020-0…

We're currently conducting interviews in relation to @TransCapSpace's work with @CPI_foundation and @ClimateKIC on bringing systemic investing to cities. In this thread, I'm going to share the most interesting statements we've collected. Some are outright mind-blowing...

Congratulations on the publication Dap

There are many ways to get across the point of distortion in the Mercator map. Here's a planisphere indicating a distance across Africa and another distance across Russia and things don't add up [source, read more: buff.ly/3HGVLme]

There’s the truth…in one paragraph. The underpinnings of @BBCFoodProg since 1979. Why is it so hard to grasp, accept?

These people should be in jail for misconduct in public office, not having a say in who the next shite charlatan Tory PM is … great work @ByDonkeys

This is in severe danger of being true:

@KDCochran1 @TheAlbion7 @paulpowlesland Doesn't the prospect of a climate-ruined future compel people in positions of power to take professional and personal interest beyond party politics? Unless a climate change denier, isn't it a case if not you, then who...

At tonight’s Middle Temple protest, I was able to look the Lord Chief Justice in the eye & say “the UK reached its highest ever temperature this week. You are one of the most powerful & influential people in the country. What actions are you taking & how will history judge you?”

@Stedin WE HEBBEN NOG STEEDS GEEN STROOM

Stroomstoring in #Tienhoven, #Maarssen, #Breukelen, #Westbroek en #Utrecht. 5420 klanten hebben sinds 12.22 uur geen stroom. Monteurs van #Stedin zijn ter plekke voor herstelwerkzaamheden.

What we will and won't know tonight: We will know if @realDonaldTrump has lost, but we won't know for days if he's won. In brief we should get final results for Ohio, Texas and Florida. If the president loses any or all, then v hard to see a path to victory. #Election2020

“We need to have innovation do something fundamentally different than we have been doing for the past 10 years ... in order to create drastic change in a short amount of time” @EITeu @ClimateKIC CEO @KirstenCKIC at the #ClimateJourney Community Summit in Budapest 🌍

And #climathon #delft is off. Climate neutral neighbourhood and turning off the gas challenges explained by Delft's municipality. Let's see how creative the participants at the #thegreenvillage can be at helping this city achieve its ambitious climate goals!

I’ve been in my garden in Hampshire for the last couple of days . Sunny , plenty of wildflowers . Not a single butterfly . Not one . Nothing . And in the woods a handful of Speckled Woods . I think we are at a point of absolute crisis in our countryside .

Today I am working with 60 brilliant changemakers at @DTUSkylab for the #CleanEnergyHack!⚡️ Creating innovative climate solutions for the cities of our future! #NCEW2018 #SUSnordic #Nordicsolutions #CEM9 #MI3 #dkgreen #dkenergi #cphftw #hackathon

This is more than just a temperature anomaly. It is an off-the-scale event. Why is the Arctic meltdown not headline news in every paper?
