I was born in Cambridge, so every time I say something dubious i'm just gonna add ' ... , Cambridge' to it. Maybe that'll get me a Daily Mail column too.

For many reasons I see offsets as an ineffectual tool for climate action, but mainly I see them as an exercise in absurdity. What looks logical on paper in some Western organizations’ office filled with smart people is something totally different in practice, many miles away. 14/

I did quite a lot of work visiting the fracking site at Preston New Road, back in the day. They dug in. They won. https://t.co/voyozKcvpj

@matjhope @DeSmogBlog Very best of luck Mat, it has always been a pleasure working you and your @DeSmogBlog colleagues; among the most professional yet friendly folk I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with over last few years.

Thanks Brendan. Hugely appreciated. Here's to what comes next...

I guarantee you will not regret it ⌛️

Ok, i'm going now.

[Mat Hope @matjhope]

So, today is my last working for @DeSmogBlog. This organisation has been an amazing and absolutely huge part of my life for the past (almost) 5 years. Cue the TRIBUTE POST...

[Mat Hope @matjhope]

I won't be going far. And i'll still be working on holding those responsible for climate change to account ✊

But, for now, a short break...

See you all in September 👋
