I'm proud to've made 5 talks on Radio 3 next week about human adaptability. Archaeologist Rose Ferraby reflects on our reliance on Stone, Wood, Pottery, Leather and Metal. Rose's writing and reflections are superb. https://t.co/2kJS9EE14J @reducedlisten @roseferraby @BBCRadio3

[Eyes On Bristol Airport @EyesOnBAL]

So proud to announce this

#EyesOnBristolAirport project has won funding from @Bristol_BathRD & @WestofEnglandCA

*An experimental project capturing flight and air traffic data to hold Bristol Airport accountable to its climate pledges*

And🤞 roll it out to other airport groups

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Carbon capture and storage has been promised for 20 years. It has never materialised and never will. Its sole purpose is to create the impression that oil and gas drilling is compatible with a habitable planet. Any politician promoting it is working for the fossil fuel industry.

[Eyes On Bristol Airport @EyesOnBAL]

Hope y'all didn't want much sleep last night...
@BristolAirport was BUSY
Here's a little film via #WebTrak which shows arrivals from 11.30pm to 12.30am

[Roger Harrabin @RHarrabin]

Contrarians are deliberately conflating ULEZ with Climate Change in order to make them both seem unpopular and to undermine #netzero. As we approach an election. The tactic is cynical, but only to be expected given the history of these people.

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

Advertising works, that's the problem. @badvertising11 suggest that banning ads for flights would reduce demand.

[GALBA - Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport @galba_action]

It is terrifying to read the news but there is so much we CAN still do to prevent even more climate chaos. One of the most effective ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is to reduce flying. And that means no more airport expansion. #FlyLess https://t.co/syxZL9O4lv

[badvertising @badvertising.bsky.social @badvertising11]

Research indicates that additional flights being taken due to their promotion by advertising could result in up to 34 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in a year. The UK's comically named ‘Jet Zero’ strategy will actually lead to a 70 percent increase in flight demand by 2070.

[Eyes On Bristol Airport @EyesOnBAL]

Think we should fly more from @BristolAirport rather than driving to Heathrow?

Maybe worth checking out flight routes first...
#Scicily to #Bristol flies right past @HeathrowAirport

Car or train produces far less pollution than flying

You can always trust Bristol airport's greenwash merchants, conveniently overlooking the emissions of planes and cars. We deserve better as global temperatures skyrocket to new highs and Bristol airport stoops to new lows. @BristolAirport @EyeAirports @baancc @StayGroundedNet

[mark smalley @marksmalley6]

Tonight on @BBCRadio3 the last in current run of EarthWorks by @roseferraby in which this archaeologist uses her skills to look at past lives with empathy. https://t.co/Qpzt1bha31

[Eyes On Bristol Airport @EyesOnBAL]

Question asked at @BristolAirport #ACC (Airport Consultative Committee)

@LBIAirport exceeded allowed #NightFlights by ~750 last year
How can we be sure Bristol Airport is counting flights correctly?

Response:
Because we give the numbers to the #LPA

Hmmm
