BREAKING: scientists hold back tears and shake their heads sadly as they explain utterly compromised COP29 climate conference was meant to be the last chance to organise rapid and deep emissions cuts for any chance of staying well below essentially unsurvivable 2°C 🧵

If you’ve got kids it’s worth keeping in mind that pretty much all the science is pointing to our society having collapsed before they are the age you are now.

Right, I’m off to Bakau and COP29 to talk about the quiet power of these 2-wheeled machines to decarbonise.
We’ve done the numbers and you’ll be amazed (Tuesday the 19th) @activetraveleng @DefraGovUK @transportgovuk @Ed_Miliband @MaryCreagh_

"I understand why you're doing it but for heaven's sake...
...and then you see the scenes in Spain."
It's a relief to see @mrjamesob connecting the dots. So few journalists are. Direct action from ordinary people is needed more than ever to force those in power to act.

There is no easy way to talk about this. This week the UN announced we are on track to reach up to 3.1° Celsius of warming. We are slated to blow past the goals of the Paris Accords. Here's what this means. (1/9) 🧵

Much like human mothers, cows have strong maternal instincts. Sadly, dairy farmers separate newborn babies from their mothers, to steal and sell their milk.

Well...going for a walk in a wood where Pheasants have been released significantly increases your chance of catching Lyme Disease - significantly increases.
There are more ticks in Pheasant-infested woods, and they're 2.5 times more likely to carry the causative agent of Lyme.

Climate change isn’t like Brexit or voting for the wrong candidate at an election. Once people realise they made a mistake, there’s no going back. It’s too late for everyone, literally forever.

Huge win. Ecuadorians have voted in a historic referendum to halt the development of all new oilwells in the Yasuní national park in the Amazon, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet: buff.ly/3QNZzdo

Imagine a carbon capture and storage machine that looks beautiful and can last for generations to capture solar and light energy and convert water, carbon dioxide and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds whilst reducing surrounding temperatures and pollution?
