Unquestioned billions are often thrown at highway expansion, when replacing a couple thousand car trips could keep traffic flowing.
Utrecht Centraal’s €30m bike parking seems extravagant, but in the context of tens of thousands of bike-train trips/day, it’s an absolute bargain.

#Braverman is beyond gross. I gave up finding words to describe her in a tweet. It comes to this - Braverman is not only utterly unfit for public office but also to be a Member of Parliament. But this is what the Conservative party has become.

This is gross. Utterly gross. It’s possible that the full, unedited answer might offer some mitigation but Braverman’s defence of using Nazi vocabulary to talk about refugees, in response to a Holocaust survivor, is just horrific. twitter.com/FreefromTortur…

Pretty surreal to see our new study, which reveals Exxon's shockingly accurate global warming predictions, on the front page of BBC, NPR, The Guardian, etc. 🙃

The UAE chose an oil company head to lead the COP28 climate talks it will host in Dubai later this year. The fox is not only in the henhouse, the fox is in charge of the henhouse. This is alarming news for global climate action

We need a COP President with a vision to end fossil fuels in charge of these climate talks, not someone whose job it is to sell fossil fuels to the world. Having an oil boss leading the talks would be a step too far. Clearly the inmates would have taken over the asylum.

After three yrs of below-average snow, #California is getting an insane amount of precipitation and higher than usual snowpacks 👇(data: ). It's even more than 2017 & 2019, which I remember very well as our sensors were sometimes buried under snow entirely.

It's 2023 & assuming our leaders weren't lying in Paris, Glasgow & Sharm el-Sheikh, then cutting CO2 inline with 1.5°C demands a radical rethink of their mitigation strategies. We're currently using up the Paris 1.5°C carbon budget at ~1% each month. See: climateuncensored.com/how-alive-is-1

There are powerful, established vested interests at work, standing in the way of nature restoration in Britain. (And by the way, nobody with any sense has ever suggested the rewilding of highly productive farmland.)

I thought last winter was an extreme, warm&dry winter I had never seen before. Based on our real-time tools at , looks like we are experiencing an even worse deficit in snow water resources now. Also, snow is melting all across Italy, much earlier than usual 😔
Quote Tweet
According to our estimates, we are currently missing about 69% of water from snow at national scale. In other words: we are experiencing a larger deficit than last year, which was already an historical drought year.

Ice sheet models for ice melt / sea level don't include some ice processes and are underestimating potential sea level rise by a lot. Reasonable to expect 50cm from *Greenland alone* by end of century. @MrMatthewTodd @ClimateBen

In 2023 the framing of 1.5-2°C mitigation is clear.
1) a rapid Marshall-style decarbonisation of existing energy systems/technologies, from our homes to powerstations &public transport to industry. 2) regulate for deep & immediate cuts in energy use by us wealthy hi-energy users.

My solidarity with those defending #Lützerath (red dot), a German village that's gonna be razed to expand a coal mine, another nail in the coffin of the 1.5C limit of the #ParisAgreement. In the pic, also #Hambach mine, 1/2 the size of Washington DC.

As soon we found a new resource, we readily begin to exploit it until it's left in ruins. And we call this exploitation 'progress'.
