Hands up, who thinks chopping down mature growth forest and burning wood is carbon-neutral or climate friendly?

No?

Enter, Drax power station...it's woodstove Pollution, piped to your home, wherever you live in the UK.

[Nature Conservation Council of NSW @naturensw]

"Conservation groups across the state are concerned about the impacts that burning a million tonnes of wood every year will have on the forests and biodiversity, the atmosphere and greenhouse gas emissions." https://t.co/xjPabPCGGt #nswpol #bigbadbiomass

[Nature Conservation Council of NSW @naturensw]

Conservation groups take aim at Redbank biomass proposal as it goes to court - "It takes decades to grow trees and forests but only seconds to burn them. This proposal will destroy forests and fast-track the extinction..." https://t.co/K9Dwar1UML #nswpol #bigbadbiomass

@oahaslandhall Well done boys and good luck Liam. Tip; The school should pin the donation page to the top of the Twitter page, this will result in many donations on the back of the bbc article.

@nationalgriduk Unless National grid are Mis-selling green energy. Calling biofuel burnt trees green is wrong and needs to stop.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

This should be all over the front pages. The government's terminating our right to protest, through amendments sneaked into the Police Bill at the last minute.
It's the biggest assault on democracy in 70+ years, and hardly anyone seems to know.

I did not get vaxxed so the unvaxxed would get bullied, shunned and punished for making a personal choice - I wanted the opposite. If you don't stand up for the rights of other people there may not be anyone to stand up for yours if that day comes

Neil Oliver: Will we remain silent while such a dark tide slides ever closer to our own shores, one country at a time?

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

I don't know why people are trying to make a huge fuss about whether or not 1.5 degrees is still within reach or not. It makes ZERO difference to what we need to do, which is cancel fossil fuels and animal-based agriculture ASAP.

HUMAN NEED, NOT CORPORATE GREED!

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

At some point we'll have to face the fact that politely asking the ruling class to stop climate destruction is not going to work.

@JackBradders It's amazing how many people don't know. When it dawns on a person that cows don't actually make milk. They make milk like human mothers, when they've given birth. It's scary how society has slanted education on this topic.

[Isabella Tree @isabella_tree]

This is the moment of truth, @AlokSharma_RDG  @BorisJohnson . We need to phase out all fossil fuels at #COP26 to meet the 1.5C goal. No more compromises. No pandering to carbon offsetting. No more fossil fuel subsidies. No more oil & gas exploration. The end!

[The Vegan Society @TheVeganSociety]

Last night our staff at #COP26 were luckily enough to be invited to an exclusive screening of Eating Our Way to Extinction – @EatingOur. It highlights the need for change and the positive impact vegan diets can have on the environment. 1/2

[ecotricity @ecotricity]

For #COP26 to succeed we need to see a complete fossil fuel phase-out in the final text. So far, there is no mention of the words "fossil fuels", "coal" or "oil" in the published draft. Put pressure on the world leaders by raising your voice on social media. #LetsEndFossilFuels

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Sticking two fingers up to a world in ecological crisis - grouse moors burn peat during @COP26 & their apologists pedal the same old lies . Embarrassing @scotgov ? Yep , so stop the burning then , easy when you are brave enough and have the will @LeagueACS https://t.co/z2EJHesfxF
