If someone defends the #aviation industry by stating it 'only' represents 2% of global #Co2 emissions, please politely point out the following. % Global population who flies in a given year≈5% % Co2 from all global shipping≈3% Emissions at altitude almost double warming impact

This morning, a series of explosions tore through Russia’s Naftatrans fuel processing facility in Krasnodar, hit earlier this week by Ukrainian drones. The plant is now suffering several fully engulfed tanks, with hundreds of Russian firefighters failing to control the blaze.

German authorities have officially seized the Eventin, a tanker linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. The ship was detained in January while drifting near the German coast. The vessel’s cargo will be handed over to the German state and sold. Russia cannot continue its global terror without this fleet, and the world has all required tools to shut it down today.

Cycling hooliganism has been around a while …. Expecting others to look out for your safety while cycling recklessly like a hooligan…. This classic video tells me everything I need to know about the state of many cyclists cycling like an idiot…

London’s transport prices are now the highest in the world. TFL’s ticket prices will rise from today, making London’s Tube network the most expensive public transport system across the globe. telegraph.co.uk/travel/desti…

Our Chair, Paul McGuinness: "As for any construction or purchase of steel, that would be at least over half a decade away, and the project may yet prove uninvestable as several of Heathrow’s airline customers have averred." independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

We went to see the floating bus stop on Tooley Street that TfL are using to demonstrate how they should work. The reality was very different from the demo. Please stop routing cycle lanes through pavements at bus stops. #BusStopBypasses #FloatingBusStops #TfL #TooleyStreet

MPs will all have heard from airport lobbyists demanding expansion. They'll have heard the greenwash and inflated promises for growth. Let's make sure they hear from their constituents too! Ask your MP to support a moratorium on airport expansion: noairportexpansion.org/write…

44% of people are put off travelling by train by the cost and 71% would be more likely to travel by train if fares were cheaper. Read our new report on how to make rail fares fairer AND more affordable: ow.ly/CYAL50UOyAG #FixFaresForGood

We're calling for a cap on long-distance walk-up rail fares to stop those sky high on-the-day tickets which give rail a bad name and penalise people who can't book in advance. Find out how you can help: bettertransport.org.uk/campa…

To be absolutely clear, the claims @RachelReevesMP is making about #SAF are bunkum. SAF is a complicated subject & aviation has done a good job of spinning dreams. That may give average Joe an excuse for being misled, but a chancellor of the exchequer should know their stuff.
After Rachel Reeves backed plans for a third runway at Heathrow, she was asked: “is it true that a few years ago that you fought against expansion of Leeds-Bradford airport citing pollution?” Her answer is like something out of The Thick of It.
