Advocating small, manageable, personal consumption changes as a way of dealing with climate change actually reduces support for the larger-scale policy changes that are necessary, at least according to this one study: https://t.co/ONpR56d36O

In case you didn't know, there are kelp forests in the arctic! And they are likely going to expand in a warming future. Nice article and link to great review paper by @Filbeek & co.

It won't help @NatResWales get out of special measures to advertise for a new Board Chair for whom it is only 'desirable' to 'demonstrate an interest in the environment & sustainability' - that's an abdication of your responsibility, should be *essential*

To all those who believe stating and restating the problems and challenges of decarbonising is a reason for believing its not possible and not doing it at all - you're cowardly. Lets get on with #zerocarbonbritain because the difficulties are not a reason not to do it

[Isabel Bottoms @IBottoms]

@MhehedZherting @BarryJWoods @JohnHumphrysr4 @BBCRadio4 I refer you to the well established and long running research of Zero Carbon Britain - which I have also been involved in. https://t.co/bCqHjnWv3v

[Isabel Bottoms @IBottoms]

Once again, @JohnHumphrysr4 making ideological statements by saying "zero by 2025 is not possible & cloud cuckoo land". Hes supposed to be a neutral interviewer @BBCRadio4 and by saying that shows he hasnt read the evidence - it is possible and must be done #zerocarbonBritain

[Isabel Bottoms @IBottoms]

@BarryJWoods @JohnHumphrysr4 @BBCRadio4 I refer you to Zero Carbon Britain, which I have been part of researching. The blueprint for decarbonising in 15 years is there: https://t.co/dI8SlG5PeL

[Isabel Bottoms @IBottoms]

*every* time I hear @BBCNews on @ExtinctionR protests & the net zero / carbon neutral target they give voice to people & INTERVIEWERS who say its not possible & 2025 is too soon. Its too late for such unambition & its unethical to consider anything less REPHRASE your questions.

Reading a report clearly written by Dutch people:
"Ireland is a good example of a country that mostly puts its money on carrots and sermons."
[in terms of policy]

Direct and bang on!

Exciting call for action from @forestsandwood on 🌲 🌳 planting to tackle #climatechange English and Welsh Govts need to up their game... big time! @blackgull @ttjonline @Forestry_UK @FORESTEUROPE @FAOForestry

[CNN @CNN]

The last time carbon dioxide levels were this high, Greenland was mostly green, sea levels were up to 20 meters higher and trees grew on Antarctica.

That was 2.6-5.3 million years ago. https://t.co/IwT7RvYsMb

[Andrew Heald @andyheald]

Imagine being a forester and getting paid $100 a tonne for your Carbon .... imagine if that captured carbon was used in construction instead of CO2 emitting material like concrete....

[Andrew Heald @andyheald]

On the #internationaldayofforests this is an excellent article about how we can move to a low #carbon future. More trees & more forests of all types are urgently needed. 🌳🌲🌳🌲

LOL, I'll just start collecting moss over in deepest darkest Wales then
