At 3.12pm, Britain went 2 weeks without burning coal for power.

It was only 2 years ago that we went 24 hours without coal.

That's how quickly a transition can happen.

Now we need to move faster, across all sectors, to tackle the #climatecrisis.

Like all of us, I was taught #SimpsonsParadox by people who had not read what Simpson wrote:

Then I read Simpson's paper and realized all the books were incorrect.

❤️She still talks about him.
❤️She still asks to see his photos.
❤️She still remembers the day she became a Big Sister
❤️She still draws pictures for him
❤️She still wishes that he never caught #whoopingcough and that he was still with us so they could play together 😢

As an epidemiologist, I will never recommend drinking alcohol in moderation. There's very good evidence that if we all cut booze out, everyone would be healthier

But as a human, wine is delicious, whiskey is spectacular, and beer...*kisses fingers*

@greg_seymour @timjackson85 Fantastic.

A huge database of scientific retractions is live. That’s great for science. https://t.co/ynfVNVPKLy via @voxdotcom
