Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

We received our bill for next financial year today. An increase of 16% on last year. To fund the huge salaries and dividends of companies charging us for something that should be a human right. Water belongs to all of us

We just need to give it a chance. If we focus our funding on countering our adverse impacts then in lots of places nature can do the rest

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

Sea ice in the Arctic and around Antarctica cool our climate, drive ocean circulation across the planet, and provide a unique habitat for polar ecosystems. Sea ice amounts have now fallen to their lowest since we started measuring them. This is not good. 🌊🥼❄️🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yet more performative cruelty. This means someone who fled for their life 25 yrs ago, got refugee status in the UK, and has been part of their community here ever since - maybe married, had kids, started a business - can never be a citizen. That’s not right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“A new study of early separated lane projects in the U.S. across six cities finds a rise of ridership between 21% and 171% after the lanes were installed.” The pretty strong and convincing case for protected bike-lane networks in cities. In @fastcompany.com

We have to escape simplistic 20th-century ideas: Handy little example to use the next time someone tries to tell you "the genome is like a machine blueprint". Not quite "Lamarck was right", but certainly in the ballpark

I can’t understand why this hasn’t been a priority. It’s a win win, help everyone with electricity prices and naturally stimulate the switch from planet heating fossil fuels.

Wouldn't it be interesting if instead of using the word 'creation' they used 'natural development' instead.

We can easily spare a tenth of England for nature without affecting food production! 20% of our land produces just 3% of our food. Vast swathes of our uplands are owned by about 150 wealthy landowners who use it for shooting grouse, and set fire to our biggest carbon sink, our peat bogs...

Zack, LabTory is doing more harm than good. They are spent force, out of ideas, and out of their depth. They promised soo much but offer the same pain and sorrow as the Tories Thanks to ur words of encouragement, I have joined the Greens! It feels great to be part of a progressive movement again!

This is an astonishing statistic, which most people don’t appreciate. When we phase out fossil fuels, we can eliminate 40% of international shipping along with it.

I grew up under the Heathrow flight path. My bed shook when Concorde came in to land. Planes flew over our garden every minute and a half. You could often see three at a time. Even if we could afford the carbon and even if we needed more flights, this decision is certifiably insane. #NoThirdRunway

Disastrous decision on Heathrow. They're essentially saying “fly, baby, fly” to the developers who don’t give a fig about the climate emergency. The world is literally on fire and the arsonists are giving speeches.
