Seeking Twitter hive mind! Names matter - so to get beyond erroneous 'developed / developing' countries, we're proposing new country clusters, in terms of their journey towards living in the Doughnut. For starters: Rise-Shift-Fulfil-Reduce. What else do you suggest?...

Really good point made about #carboncapture or #carbondioxideremoval you are one of my most valuable twitter accounts to follow 🙏

"We need both emission reductions & Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)" is the duality I find increasingly problematic.
The problem is that we aren't reducing emissions. The statement should be conditional: "If we have rapid emission reductions, then we need both"

Wind & solar were the EU's top power source in 2022
They generated more than coal, more than gas & more than nuclear - for the first time ever

It’s a challenge to find photos online of before the destruction. It shouldn’t be, but it is.
It’d be great if people had somewhere to post pics of the reef from before, and were able to label them with date and location.
Then we could all learn from comparison shots.

..... Clear, though, this is such a delicate realm, about a technology I simply can't see us not using as temperatures rise. Would be great to hear you talk to someone from sometime soon 🌎🌍🌏🌅

Societal consensus on climate was so hard won that its hilarious that people like think they advance the conversation by interviewing contrarians like Dr Lindzen. Studying climate at , 2010 he was top of the list of deniers to ignore

A few year back we were joking that climate skeptics would soon be saying “no warming since 2016”. Now they actually are.
In reality, short term variability can make you over interpret pauses or accelerations in what’s a pretty clear trend: carbonbrief.org/factcheck-no-g

if there is something else to this rather than just house prices could it mean a changing trajectory..? 🤔 More socially democratic politics....

the thread is really interesting but I wonder if a climate and biodiversity signal could be found here too? Seeing the genuine and truly massive challenges we face, could we be seeing people thinking differently about politics, s conservative politics going to get us out of this?

I never thought I would see this, with the challenges we face it seems there is a real opportunity to address #climate #biodiversity and the many other challenges we face

More research debunking of the idea that e-bikes are 'cheating'. This longitudinal study found that e-bike riders cycle more & drive less - with e-bike riders quadrupled their cycling distance over 6 months.
Have you tried a Santander e-bike yet?

The toddler was probably not working as a real chimney sweep, but just coming along for a day for fun or for the benefit of a photographer. This describes why:

Nothing to do with #climate but it is to do with innoculating generations of people against #misinformation, and we need better information whenever we look for answers

People who don't understand the destabilising effect of global warming on the polar vortex are convinced unusually cold temperatures prove it’s all a #climatescam.
We need to invest more in public knowledge of science.

I've returned to my parents' home in West Oxfordshire this Christmas to find people angry and worried about the future of the village.
Why? Because they say "Europe's biggest solar farm" is about to be built on their doorstep.

Fact 2: It’s false to say thaw is unprecedented as it has happened in the past. However, rates of thaw are getting faster w/ warming, and because of climate change some permafrost will never return. Here is a video of me realizing ancient permafrost in Alaska is gone forever. 2/
