Passionate about sustainability, good food and the link between both.

Ayer Barcelona vivió la noche más cálida de España. Tenemos un enorme problema con el efecto isla de calor. Hay soluciones: más árboles, tejados blancos reflectantes, asfalto claro, superficies permeables, más fuentes. Combinándolas se podrían bajar varios grados. @bcn_ajuntament

@realDonaldTrump 1.1/10 on IMDB. Thats quite an achievement…

[Francois De Halleux @noplanes]

@elonmusk Then why did you support a government promoting the exact opposite (oil & gas). That will be remembered as one of your biggest mistakes.

Being a good PM is hard. I've learned a lot over 12 years as a PM at Google. I wrote down 8 things I learned the hard way, so you don't have to. From shipping fast to being a good friend and yearning for the vast and endless sea, some advice for product managers:

[Francois De Halleux @noplanes]

@thechrisperry Super useful, thanks for taking the time to write those!

[Francois De Halleux @noplanes]

Tot això és de sentit comú i permetria reduir la temperatura diversos graus a la nit, disminuint l’efecte illa de calor. Ja és hora de reconèixer el problema, unir esforços i deixar de polititzar-lo!

[Francois De Halleux @noplanes]

La calor que fa a Barcelona anirà empitjorant amb el canvi climàtic. Em pregunto quan començarem a reaccionar… Hi ha mesures possibles: fer servir asfalt clar, pintar els terrats amb pintura reflectant, plantar més arbres, reduir els motors de combustió…@bcn_ajuntament

The underlying trait is simply “caring about users” and it goes surprisingly far in startups as well as bigcos.

It’s insane how little we hear about the AMOC collapse. This is a clear 30 min presentation that *everyone* should watch.

[Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 @rahmstorf]

One of the most ominous risks for Europe is that of a major change in Atlantic ocean currents.
Recent science suggests it has been greatly underestimated in the past -including by me, having worked on it for over 30 years.
Here my half-hour presentation in Vilnius a week ago!

Every time I tell myself: That's it! The UK has hit rock bottom now. But no... they keep surprising me and manage to sink even lower. It's heartbreaking at this point, really 💔

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

I’m slamming the brakes on the war on motorists - it's as simple as that.

@vinchbat I'd like to sign up for the first Barcelona session 🙋‍♂️

[Francois De Halleux @noplanes]

@silviacasorran @GUBBarcelona Una duda Silvia: el gobierno del ayuntamiento no tiene el poder de obligar a @GUBBarcelona a hacer cumplir la norma? Yo pensaba que era una decisión política de los comunes de no actuar sobre las motos ( aunque era sorprendente de su parte). ¿No era así entonces?

[Francois De Halleux @noplanes]

Collboni is probably the only socialist / progressive mayor in Europe who doesn’t consider sustainable mobility, increasing cycling 🚴‍♀️ and reducing pollution a top priority (vs London, Paris,…). It also seems at odds with what @PSOE stands for. Anyone understands why? 🤷‍♂️

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

We know there's evidence of the consequences of air pollution.

We know there's evidence that ULEZ works.

I can't stand by whilst children's lungs are stunted and Londoners are dying prematurely.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

We should all be furious that as a summer of climate fueled event wreaks havok on our planet more isn't being done to stem the tide.

Record heatwaves, record floods, record droughts, record wildfires. How many more records before we #ActOnClimate?

#climate #renewables

[Francois De Halleux @noplanes]

@jaumecollboni De cara al futuro, hay algún plan previsto para atenuar estas olas de calor en la ciudad? ¿Más verde, o incluso pintar las cubiertas en blanco (leí que puede reducir la temperatura de 3 a 4 grados)? https://t.co/TsVXFwf1Ft

[Francois De Halleux @noplanes]

Do you also feel depressed by the insufficient action there is to tackle pollution, climate change and loss of biodiversity?

I recommend spending some time watching @MossyEarth 's Youtube channel: https://t.co/scHvT8nh02

So inspiring what these guys are up to 💚

És normal la calor que fa a Barcelona? No.
