Giro makes bike helmets. Giro Senior Brand Development Manager: “There are many misconceptions about helmets. We do not design helmets specifically to reduce chances or severity of injury when impacts involve a car. The number of variables is too great to calculate."

Was reminded today of this excellent list of scientific jargon to avoid, from R Somerville and @ClimateComms long ago but still completely relevant, especially as climate change work has become even more interdisciplinary.

Some mind-blowing data here. Big, heavy cars really are responsible for a good chunk of Australia's transport emissions problem ntc.gov.au/sites/default/fil…
australia has worse vehicle emissions than every country in europe, in intensity terms. Norway is the least-bad

NEW STUDY ➡️ If everybody cycled🚲as much as the Dutch, global carbon emissions would drop by nearly 700 million tonnes per year. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia. 📸@modacitylife

My patent idea, a crash test dummy dangling from a stick, can be used in a variety of situations when it is necessary for a non-driver to control an autonomous vehicle.

GENTLE REMINDER: More than half of all the world's internationally traded metallurgical coal originates In Australia and more than a fifth of internationally traded thermal coal. Our share of the international market for coal is not replaceable. Also our coal isn't any better.*

One of the impacts of climate change is increased volcanism, earthquakes & tsunamis -- as massive amounts of ice melt, the pressures on magma chambers and tectonic plates shift and ease, destabilizing them. scientificamerican.com/artic…

Get Ready for More Volcanic Eruptions as the Planet Warms

A new study shows that even relatively small-scale climatic changes affect volcanic activity

If you ran a restaurant where over half of your customers didn’t eat meat, you might consider swapping out some of your old menu for some vegetarian options, right? 60% of Lambeth households don’t have access to a car. It’s time we put something else on the menu.
