Say NO! #NoA1DuallingNorthumberland #RIS2 #NoNewRoads #A1 dualling = 1.44m tonnes of CO2e in 60 years.

Why not invest in the #ECML instead? #GreenTransport

'Adding car lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity' - Lewis Mumford, 1955.

67 years and how little we have learnt.

44°C in Arizona… in March.

Let that sink in.
Records aren’t just breaking — they’re collapsing.

This isn’t natural variability.
This is human-driven warming, and it’s speeding up. End war - come together and build climate mitigation urgently.

Our 'window of opportunity' has been defenestrated.

@eva_jacky @GBNEWS Take these two major fires for example, both staryed by diesel vehicles, not EV's.

[NoA1DuallingNorthumberland @NoA1Dualling]

@eva_jacky @GBNEWS Petrol and diesel cars have caught fire when driving or being parked on driveways/garages for years; it is far more common to see an ICE vehicle on fire than an electric one, it is the challenges of fire fighting with an electric car that is the major problem.

"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot.

On a cold afternoon, more than 200 people turned out to a demonstration against the government's desire to block up Queensbury Tunnel, an old railway tunnel that the local community want repurposed into a greenway.

Is it raining where you are?

Every time it rains, oil, particulate matter, and microplastics from tyre and brake wear is washed off the roads, causing widespread pollution.

National Highways is failing to tackle this problem for our busiest roads.

@eva_jacky @GBNEWS So for even a Dacia Spring, thats enough for a week of travel between charges, while the average EV at 300 mile range could run for 15 days.

[NoA1DuallingNorthumberland @NoA1Dualling]

@eva_jacky @GBNEWS There are LESS FIRES with EV cars than petrol and diesel ones.

EV range is fine for normal driving distances, with the average range on a full charge being 300 miles; smaller EV's like Dacia Spring has 137 mile range. A typical daily drive in the UK is just 19 miles...

Which are you on climate change?

U.N. FINALLY RECOGNIZES- IT'S TOO LATE FOR 1.5°C
James Hansen this month again warned, we are now looking at over 2°C. Big economy world governments still ignore this. They still subsidize more fossil fuels and condemn the whole world and our future to 3°C - unprecedented evil.

Antarctic glacier’s alarming retreat is the fastest ever seen

Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula retreated 25 kilometers in just 15 months. Its rapid melt could have implications for other glaciers and the rate of sea level rise

SEA LEVEL RISE IS ACCELERATING ON A HIGH-END SCENARIO
SSP3-7.0 The rate of global sea level rise doubled during the past three decades (17 October 2024, B. D. Hamlington et al)
Accelerating rate is being driven by increasing melt of the polar ice sheets. https://t.co/4oOGx2IdGj #sealevelrise #climatechange #globalwarming

NEW: We have discovered that National Highways is syphoning off money from a dedicated fund for environmental and safety improvements (called ‘Designated Funds’) to use it as sweeteners or greenwashing for new roadbuilding schemes.

Physical inactivity is estimated to cost the UK £7.4 billion annually (including £0.9 billion to the NHS alone).

Active travel is one of the best return on investment decisions governments can make.

Yet people are still having to campaign for better infrastructure and funding.

Ireland has just experienced the highest rainfall events ever recorded, resulting in widespread flooding. A 1°C temp rise = ~7% more moisture in the atmosphere. At ~1.5°C global warming, that sponge is saturated, expect huge droughts & record floods onwards in this new climate.

Queensbury Tunnel offers the opportunity to create an inclusive greenway, suitable for all ages and abilities, connecting communities between Bradford and Halifax in West Yorkshire.
