Time to see genuine scientific leadership from my alma mater @imperialcollege and go #FossilFree

Cut all ties with big oil and stop enabling them to use IC for greenwashing.

Someone just alerted me to this @guardian article from January about a *big 5 yearly UN report!* on material extraction.

The @guardian singles out cobalt and electric vehicles.
But look at this graph from the report!
WTF is going on here?

I must do a 🧵

We keep under-estimating how fast renewable energy grows.

And we keep over-estimating how much fossil fuel is being used in the future.

Thanks @rethink_x for these graphs!

@QuakerSocialist @SimonNewton5 @BritishQuakers I don’t follow, I’m afraid

@ProfRachelGaN Unless you’re also doing no mow April I suppose!

@pedalandpostCB Look at all those lost spirits, condemned to wander the streets, forever searching for a car to drive

It's so nice (and rare) when a beautiful climate graph also conveys good news.

@ProfRachelGaN You don't mow in May.

Great to see so much support for active travel from local election candidates in response to the @camcycle survey!

The school streets team at St Matthews is front page of the @CambridgeIndy today, calling out the behaviour of a few aggressive drivers who are making the street dangerous for children, parents and teachers

FACTCHECK

UK PM Rishi Sunak has defended new North Sea oil & gas licences with false or misleading justifications

Yes, the world will continue to use oil & gas in 2050

But new licences are likely to raise global emissions & would not be compatible with the 1.5C limit

The progress China has made in renewable energy just THIS YEAR makes the entire rest of the world look like it's standing still.

I wrote in December that to call China the "world leader in renewable energy" was a colossal understatement.

That’s even more true today.

This article and all our politicians seem to be missing an obvious way to curb inflation, much more effective than interest rates.

Tax the rich.

If our PM wasn’t a millionaire, maybe he would have noticed it…

COP26 feeling a long time ago now...

A broken promise by one of the richest (and. historically, most polluting) nations to world's most vulnerable.

This will severely diminish the UK's international standing (even further). And is a political hospital pass to next government

[Roger Harrabin @RHarrabin]

Shoot me if you see me disobeying a new lifetime rule. I’m at the #installers show about housing #retrofits. And I promise never ever again to call it a retrofit but to adopt the term #UPGRADE. Please follow suit.

Beer made with heat pumps is becoming a thing.

Yes, that's right - a 🧵 on the electrification of beer brewing.
