"Thames Water reveals it has been pumping sewage from a single pipe for 440 hours."
Remember, this gov, at least the next 28 years, has made this legal so long as the water company can argue that they are doing something to "Reduce the adverse impacts".

People might not realise that the UK Gov passed a law in 2007 requiring ALL new homes to be zero carbon and low environmental impact by 2016.
Housebuilders lobbied against this Code for Sustainable Homes and their friends in Gov scrapped it in 2015.

I am not a troublemaker. I dont want to piss anyone in the media off. But this is, as David Attenborough says, 'our biggest threat in thousands of years'. It should be front page news. Not Harry or celebrities or Rishi Sunak. EVERYTHING is at risk. youtube.com/watch?v=3D0oUrr_…

Germany launched its new incentive programme for heat pumps.
The new rules grant rebates of up to 40% to help homeowners to buy and install heat pumps.

"Sewage was dumped every four minutes during Therese Coffey’s three years as water minister."
Yep you read that right.
"presided over 321-years worth of sewage discharge in three years".

Want a really easy way to help tackle the climate crisis?
Don’t buy peat.
Unless your compost bag clearly states ‘100% peat free’ please don’t buy it. 👍🏻
Using peat causes habitat destruction & releases 800,000 tonnes of CO2 a year in the UK.

Will you pledge to avoid peat products in your garden? By leaving peat in our bogs, we can help tackle the nature and climate crises. Be a hero 👇 💚 #PeatTwitter

It’s remarkable. Harry & Megan’s woes have wall to wall attention, yet attempts to avoid the unraveling of our planet’s life support system get hardly a mention.

The UK government considers mandating hydrogen-ready boilers from 2026.
But they will only be zero carbon if they run on green hydrogen which currently makes up 0.04% of global hydrogen production according to the @IEA.
Is it magical thinking?

📺 WATCH: CEN MP @John4Carlisle tells MPs why new homes should be legally required to have solar panels installed.
☀️ Solar power can lower people's bills, strengthen our energy security, and help us reach net zero.

Having ‘hydrogen-ready’ domestic boilers from 2026 little help in getting to zero emissions
They'll only take 20% by volume of hydrogen (8% heat) and so will require being changed again - likely being 'ripped out' - by 2050

🚨BREAKING 🚨 @HSBC just announced that they’re going to stop lending money to any new oil and gas projects. This is huge. And it’s only happening due to pressure from thousands of people across the climate movement and beyond. Here’s why it’s important🧵1/8

.@resfoundation find walls are the problem for keeping people warm in UK houses
4 in 10 homes walls are poor or very poor and wast colossal amounts of energy
Needs govt ££ to make sure at least fuel poor don't suffer

Has anything caused more damage than mass air travel? Soon to be a leading source of emissions, the water vapour created means each flight traps more than double the heat than previously thought. Not to mention the pandemics it causes. All for a luxury activity no one needs to do
