Scratch that, you’ll find me under @ChrisTheTaurean - one simple handle from now on. 😉

[Corstorphine Climate Action @corstclimaction]

I’m moving.
You’ll find me on Bluesky under the same handle.

The Extreme Weather Report, October 3, 2024:
It wasn't just Helene. This is your weather on fossil fuels.

@jester_mouse Impressive bounceback

@im_a_woodsprite @DrScottArthurMP the onus is on vehicle drivers to proceed carefully but the delineation between vehicle lane and pavement isn’t there because in this design the car is crossing a pedestrianised junction, rather than the pedestrian crossing a roadway.
Driver behaviour change is needed tho.

[Corstorphine Climate Action @corstclimaction]

@im_a_woodsprite @DrScottArthurMP If cars travelling at under 20mph(as they’re meant to) no driver should be ending up in this situation.

6,000 beverage containers are wasted every second in the USA 🤯

Reloop's What We Waste report shows how smart policies in some countries are making a difference, while others fall behind.

@GylerNorth Indeed, A quiet idyllic village which before the bus gate, saw a staggering 4000+ vehicles A DAY using the narrow village road with dangerously narrow pavements… 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

@bighalders @SW20Ed @Edinburgh_CC Clue in the name - consultation is a chance to get feedback on concerns. It’s not a referendum.

@GylerNorth @PidginPosting Be interesting to see the next round of traffic count data from the counters that were out and about in June.
Any word on when the manse rd camera is to be replaced?

[Corstorphine Climate Action @corstclimaction]

@MorganHPhillips I wonder how @scotgov is performing on this?

[MorganHPhillips @MorganHPhillips]

The decisions made over the next 12 months will determine the QUALITY and QUANTITY of environmental education that an entire generation of young people receive.

This isn't trivial, we're talking about TEN MILLION people here, probably more.

Should be an interesting read…

If you want people to cycle from village and town to their nearest train station, give them this.

We're a rich country and can afford to deliver a nationwide network of segregated cycle lanes.

We'll never decarbonise the suburbs without it.

@GumboJawknee @micheal_olainn @KevinClimate Why? What possible evidence have you of murder being committed by climate campaigners?

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

NEW: CCC warns incoming UK govt that there are no "credible" climate policies in place for two-thirds of CO2 cuts needed by 2030

Says Labour must "make up lost ground" pronto to get back on track

Where in the #KingsSpeech is the promised end to new oil and gas licences?
Instead, there's a bill "to support sustainable aviation fuel". But there is no such thing as sustainable aviation fuel, and no prospect of it materialising, unless you rewrite the laws of physics.🧵

[Corstorphine Climate Action @corstclimaction]

Hopefully sense will prevail and this unnecessary mine and similar fossil fuel projects in the Uk will also be quashed. It’s about time our govts started making the right decisions on matters which contribute directly to climate change.

[Mike Berners-Lee @MikeBernersLee]

Sense at long last. How was it ever possible not to take account of the emissions from burning the coal ?!? It took a conspiracy of warped and disingenuous arguments to keep this crazy mine plan going for so long. Thank SLACC and FOE for fighting it. https://t.co/UTLbu9cPli

@GylerNorth That has to be just a little bit embarrassing.
