Want public support for climate action? Then do it right. From pylons to low-traffic zones, people push back when decisions are imposed. If we work WITH communities, they’ll help drive the transition forward. From @marianne-brown.bsky.social in @theecologist.org theecologist.org/2025/feb/13/...

Just worked out a complex formula to invert the order of an array. #GeminiFlash2.0 did not understand exactly what i wanted so spent some time on it, with Gemini explaining how it was trying to solve the problem. Eventually i twigged and showed Gemini the right solution. Now we are best buds !! 😀

Well-managed solar farms can boost wildlife A new study from the RSPB and the University of Cambridge has found well-managed solar farms can make an important contribution to nature as well as "provide relief from the effects of agricultural intensification".

Its widely accepted that low carbon electricity systems will need to be flexible, using low carbon power when it is available. But consumers vary in their ability to be flexible. Great to hear from @mikefsway.bsky.social today about his work on flexibility capital and justice...

Coming up for 12yrs of detailed in-door / out-door temperature tracking at our house. The bigger changes in that time for our house have been the Carbon.Coop retrofit in 2013/14 and installation of our ASHP in Apr-2021. Overall internal temperatures are more stable as a result.
