Scotland is aiming to be the world's first rewilded country. It's looking to rewild 30% of the country by 2030.

We have the solutions. Replenishing and protecting nature is one of them. #ActOnClimate

This farm produces 15% of Australia's annual trust tomatoes using #solarpower & seawater. It uses zero fossil fuels, zero soil, zero pesticides, zero groundwater.

We have the solutions. Implement them #ActOnClimate

This thread… Once the envy of the world, now defunded, dismantled, suffering the loss of so many incredible workers through Brexit. Now it’s claimed it’s a broken system that can only be fixed through privatisation. We have to make lying wrong again.

It’s 4am in Montreal and after several years of negotiations, governments have just adopted an historic Global Biodiversity Framework for saving nature. Here’s a thread with my take on what's good and what's bad in it.

Where's the beef? It is where tropical forests used to be. 41% of tropical deforestation is driven by pasture expansion for beef (Our World in Data). Please eat more legumes for protein and "give peas a chance".

Fears rising they plan to execute #MohammadMehdiKarami
this morning in a public arena.’ Messages received from Nazarabad region of #Karaj indicating deployment of security forces in the main squares meaning they’re preparing for it. @Twitter let’s get to work. #StopExecutions

Getting a lot of q's about what today's nuclear fusion breakthrough means for climate. My answer is: not much. We already have the technologies we need to decarbonise 80% of the electricity sector by 2030 even as demand soars due to electrification: https://t.co/ufVTBQGSBc

I'm seeing some misinterpretation of our @UNEP Emissions Gap Report. The report finds that a credible pathway to 1.5C is not *in place* under current policies/NDCs. That's not the same as saying 1.5C is now impossible. https://t.co/AFdb1Bzll9

@GoodEnergy continue as the pioneers you are and untether renewable energy prices from Gas. I've been a loyal customer for over 11 years and trusted your (2010) prediction that renewables would be cheaper as well as cleaner. Currently that is not so. Data to follow....

Absolutely mind-blown by the response from the CEO of oil giant @Harbourenergy speaking to me at @CommonsEAC

When I put it to her that renewables are 4 times cheaper than gas, she said "Maybe we're incompetent, but our company doesn't have the skills to invest in renewables"...

[Tom Harper @Tafharper]

Hey @BorisJohnson,

Despite "banning" Russian vessels, the UK is still importing Russian fossil fuels.

So you're still funding Putin's war on Ukraine.

Get us off fossil fuels altogether. Insulate our homes and invest properly in renewables.
