We help non-specialists 'see' emissions, air pollution, ozone, waste disposal, water & resource use... bringing data to life. Making it real.

Ok, You've GOT to be kidding me!

The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list, who are responsible for all of it - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...?

So incredulity aside, what about the list itself?

Let's go Debunking!

With thanks to @RealWorldVis for this new animation on the Global Carbon Budget @gcarbonproject to coincide with the end of the UN Bonn Climate Change Conference. Time is running out for the deep carbon emissions cuts we need to avert a climate crisis and 1.5C global warming:

Must apologise. Last night I questioned why the humourless repeat #bbcqt guest Konstantin Kisin described himself as a "satirist".

This morning I read this. Brilliant.

COP28 to many was a cop-out. But it was the first time that the elephant-in-the-room (fossil fuels) was included in the text. We rejoice when something unseen becomes visible.

So have a HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Fossil fuel companies have no intention of reducing production.

Our latest film is for shows just how much difference electric taxis make: 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide diverted from the atmosphere. That's 10 days worth of London transport emissions.

[LEVC @LondonEVCompany]

Since 2018, our TX has prevented more than 200,000 tonnes of harmful CO2 emissions from entering the Earth's atmosphere. This remarkable CO2 saving is the equivalent to the emissions of more than 111,000 passenger flights from London to Sydney.

Having trouble relating to how our sea levels are already rising...?

Have you ever wondered how much a ton of carbon dioxide actually is? Here's a ton as a sphere of carbon dioxide gas and as a cube (at 15 °C and 1 atm)

Climate change conversations during live commentary of tonight’s @ManUtd vs @ReadingFC football match because of the ‘warming stripes’ sleeves design on the Reading kit.

Thank you @sammatterface & @itvfootball.

Wall Street banks are set to hit a trillion dollars in profit over the past decade.

Meanwhile, the net worth of middle-class families continues to decline.

Folks, this is unsustainable.

#ENGFRA Lots of adverts for Qatar energy. Unless they keep most of their reserves in the ground, over 100 thousand people will die in the climate chaos that results.

This, in physical terms, is the impact of Michael Gove's decision on the coal mine in Cumbria. In human terms, the resulting climate chaos will cause an estimated 100 thousand deaths and $187billion in damage 1/2
