Life long environmentalist, working for the planet, people and profit... order sometimes varies. X’s reflect my own opinion, sometimes I’m wrong.

BAM! Ecuador bans oil drilling to protect 700,000-hectares of rainforest: https://t.co/M4PDNtnCbF These are the type of announcements we need.

No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

Don’t look up !

OMG 😳

Michael Gove seemed very rattled at today's Covid inquiry 👀
Is it because he has something to hide?

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

People need to know the truth about the full extent of the relationship between Putin, Russia and the new global Right.

[David Gauke @DavidGauke]

He’s right.

⚠️ An oft-debunked myth is circulating again:

"domestically produced gas is four times cleaner than LNG imports"

This claim has come recently from the boss of UK fracking company Cuadrilla (shock)

As a reminder, here's why that's not accurate... 🧵

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Chris Hope, GB News, "Why don't you order a national inquiry to join the dots between the 50 towns?"

"Are you concerned it might expose failings of your role as director of public prosecutions? And that's why Elon Musk says you were complicit in the rape of Britain"

Keir Starmer, "You were covering crime for The Telegraph when I was director of public prosecutions, you were quizzing me at the time, for the entire five years"

"You looked at my record as I was doing the job. You have access to all of the material"

"Unlike some Tory politicians, I'm not tweeting about it or talking about it, I got on with changing the system"

"The victims suffered terrible abuse, sickening, unspeakable abuse, and then they weren't listened to, that has to be taken seriously. That's why I made the changes that I did in criminal justice"

"On the question on another review, there have been a lot of reviews.. This doesn't need more consultation.. It just needs action"

"Why didn't the last government, the Conservatives, implement the Alexis Jay Inquiry Report requirements?"

"For ten years we've had reviews, did the Conservatives act? No - They're now tweeting and talking about what they think should have been done"

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain.

It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

[Roger Harrabin @RHarrabin]

.@BusinessGreen points to poll showing most people favour Green policies - Despite what you read in Tory papers. Environmentalists need a major Comms effort to weave half a sentence into any interview on the topic : eg - polls show most people favour environmentalism and, so…

[Todd Holden 🌈 @NetZeroGM]

Can you imagine the uproar if #ClimateChange protesters did this… the Daily Hate would be all over it….. parts of our Media have a lot to answer for.

Climate scientists will spend years debating this enormous ASR & EEI increase.

Some will call it a strong aerosol forcing, some a climate feedback, some 'the pattern effect'.

The effect is the same = more heat accumulating faster, accelerating regional and global warming.

[Todd Holden 🌈 @NetZeroGM]

While everyone has the right to an opinion, not all opinions are equal, and this varies dependent on subject matter.

If we trust click bait journalists over scientists our future will be much shorter than our history.

Money talks but we can choose to see through it.

[Leo Hickman @LeoHickman]

A climate-sceptic has written this in a UK newspaper without any apparent pause for reflection or self-doubt:

"I really don’t think we are causing net climate change. However, scientific opinion thinks we are."

And, in doing so, he sums up our era of anti-science misinformation

[Simon Maechling @simonmaechling]

Lots of talk about Bovaer.
Chemist speaking here.
Time for some facts.

Bovaer, also known as 3-nitrooxypropanol, is a small organic molecule with a nitrooxy group attached to a propane backbone. Its structure is simple yet powerful in targeting methane emissions in livestock.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

The clean energy transition is unstoppable.

Unstoppable because clean energy is the route to energy security.

Unstoppable because it is the economic opportunity of our time.

And unstoppable because the climate crisis is here, and unless we act, things will only get worse.

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

Huge demand for grid upgrades:

The world’s largest producer of transformers has warned its industry is “overwhelmed” and unable to meet exploding demand for grid equipment.

We will need an all-hands-on-deck approach to build out new and better manage existing grids.

Electric vehicles reached the highest ever market share of almost 1/4 last month.

What does the Telegraph write?

"consumer demand for expensive electric cars continues to wane"

[Roger Harrabin @RHarrabin]

The CMA has told Worcester Bosch to stop implying its 'hydrogen-blend ready' boilers are special because they can run on a blend of up to 20% hydrogen.
It’s more #hydrogengype, because 20% H2 blend has been the law for all UK boiler makers since 1996 @BusinessGreen reports

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

So many people rightly calling out fascism but are silent on the one thing which is on course to bring it in on a scale we cant imagine if we don’t stop this
