@AccAylingKP File this tweet away to play back to your grandchildren as they face droughts, famines and heatwaves and they ask 'What did you do to tackle the climate crisis?' You can smile triumphantly and say: 'Arrest and imprison the young people trying to raise the alarm!'

In one sense, this propaganda barrage is good news: It means that Putin *can* retreat; since he controls all of the media, he can then just change the narrative.
That also means he keep retreating, restore Ukraine's borders, end this war. I repeat: He doesn't need an off-ramp.

What if every city had “Bike Buses” for kids going to school & daycare? What if safe, protected bike infrastructure made them easy? From Nijmegen NL, a #BikeBus developed in partnership with an after-school childcare. HT to great folks at @Cycling_Embassy

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

WATCH: 25 km of new protected bike-lanes were launched in Berlin during the #coronavirus pandemic. They say the main investment was just paint, but the REAL key was being willing to rethink key decisions like where the car parking is. Via @Cycling_Embassy

Now #HelloHydrogen are lobbying for blending, which would require £ tens of billions investment in electrolysis or CCS.

Facts: 20% H2 by volume would reduce emissions by 7%, less the impact of pumping load, H2 leaks and, if it's blue H2, methane leaks and incomplete CO2 capture.

[Michael Liebreich - @MLiebreich.bsky.social @MLiebreich]

Confused by "Hydrogen Ready" or "Hydrogen Blend Ready" boilers? Then @HelloHydrogen #HelloHydrogen is working!

Facts: There is no H2/gas blend today and may never be; no boilers are ready for 100% H2. 57% of UK power is renewable or nuclear; heat pumps multiply its impact by ~3

@AfricanArchives @MakingHistoryUK As one Brit put it back then, ‘I like the Americans, but not those white fellas they brought with them.’

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943.

Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil.

US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off.

Rumors of the dangers of video games are vastly exaggerated.

101 studies, 106k kids & teens: video games have negligible impact on grades, depression, attention, aggression.

Only 3.1% show problematic behaviors—which are more likely symptoms of mental health issues than causes.

“It’s a really bleak moment, not only because of the reports showing that emissions are still rising (...), but we also have so much scientific evidence that we are very, very close to irreversible changes." PIK Director @jrockstrom in @guardianeco.

Just ahead of COP27, the climate future looks both better and worse than it a few years ago. Belated action has made worst-case scenarios much less likely, but delay has made best-case outcomes impossible, too. So where are we headed? A long thread (1/x) https://t.co/fhw5GpSnoa

If your city couldn’t avoid making a huge city-damaging mistake, do the next best thing – remove the mistake, & repair your city. Like #Utrecht NL did.

Yesterday, one of our students nearly fainted at school because she hadn’t eaten. We gave her two apples. She ate one, and put one in her bag for her younger sibling. Talking about cost of living isn’t enough. Our children are starving.
