The discussion about nuclear waste is, quite literally, bananas. https://t.co/2U0xB71Jr9

[Tyrone Dlisle @TDlisle]

Incredible! 12 thousand people rally to call for a stop to the Spanish nuclear phase out.

Sehr lesenswert:

Das Netzwerk WePlanet neigt nicht zur Naturromantik, sondern verfolgt einen sehr pragmatischen Ansatz. Dabei haben auch technologische Lösungen ihren Platz.

Die Hauptbotschaft: Wohlstand erhalten, aber trotzdem nachhaltiger werden.

Laureates: policies restricting agricultural innovation undermining crop productivity

We: support regulation that helps agriculture adopt these tools and improve its climate resilience and sustainability. https://t.co/XNSgzq0bBD

[Iida Ruishalme @Thoughtscapism]

Definitely yes. I wonder... is there an environmental org that also calls for moonshot investments in novel food tech and for lifting restrictive regulation to allow sustainable crop development? *cough* @weplanetint, @oekoprog

🚨153 Laureates warn: 🌍 Hunger Tipping Point Ahead!

👩‍🔬 Science & innovation are critical to feed 9.7B by 2050. It’s time for a moonshot to tackle food insecurity.

Laureates: “moonshot” goals of creating nutrient-rich food from microorganisms & fungi.

We: moonshot investment into a rapid protein transition to make Europe a world leader in sustainable proteins, like plant-based, precision fermented meat and dairy. https://t.co/w23O31E63f

The worst thing that agriculture does to nature is use land.

Unser größtes wichtiges Vorhaben bis jetzt:

Die #Dekarbonisierung Deutschlands MIT Kernergie?

Wir haben dafür @Quantified_C beauftragt, wie das System aussehen würde und ob #Kernenergie Sinn ergeben würde.

Das Ergebnis: 40% Kernenergie würde die Kosten um 20+% senken.

Although we are the German branch of @weplanetint, this deserves an English 🧵:

Today @_freidel published a report on how German taxpayers' money is being misused for biased research to agitate against #nuclear power internationally, e.g. at COPs. /1 https://t.co/TiVyJses00

[Tea Törmänen @TeaTrmn]

Dear @Die_Gruenen , setting ambitious climate targets becomes much easier when you accept #nuclear as one of the solutions. The reason why you have to oppose these targets now is because you decided that opposing nuclear is more important than #climate.

Dear Mr. Haverkamp, I am the author of the @UNECE study, and I would like to answer your criticisms.

Why are we supporting climate youth in their #DearGreenpeace- campaign? Why was RePlanet founded?

Just like many of us, I also have a background in traditional enviromental NGOs as I've been an environmentalist as long as I remember.

[Hannah Ritchie @_HannahRitchie]

Heat pumps are our best shot at decarbonising heating.

The UK is doing very badly on this.

But the rest of Europe is showing that:
1. It can be done
2. They work in colder climates than ours

RePlaneteer Iida (@Thoughtscapism) writes a beautiful piece reflecting on environmentalism and the magical way science helps us both understand and protect nature.

"Even better, science helps us appreciate how amazing the stuff is that we didn’t even know was going on in nature"

Att ta mark till lantbruk orsakar mycket utsläpp (från skog och jord) och våra stora mängder boskap står för ännu mer. Bränsle är såklart en del men metanutsläpp är signifikant stor.

“I got radiation from the flight…from the banana I ate for breakfast and from being out in the sun for the photo shoot. However, I got no registrable dose from bumping up to the nuclear waste.

The extreme safety of nuclear waste management can't be faked."

In @Newsweek today:

[Madi Hilly @MadiHilly]

No babies received any excess radiation in the making of this nuclear waste maternity photoshoot

[WePlanet @weplanetint]

Do you believe in humanity and celebrate our achievements?

Do you believe in the power of technology to bring prosperity and well-being?

Do you acknowledge the challenges of the present and believe in our ability to make a better future?

RePlanet is leading a new environmental movement, an ecohumanist movement which acknowledges the challenges and works to improve the future.

Together we can liberate nature and elevate humanity.

Join or donate today to support this new movement.

Replacing all artificial fertilizer for organic fertilizer would require 70% of the current arable land for growing legumes to fix nitrogen. https://t.co/b8kBbLy7Hb

[WePlanet @weplanetint]

Food production uses almost half of all habitable land. This doesn't leave much space for wild nature.
