We've published our first impact report for the MRC environmental sustainability programme.
The report provides an overview of the activities undertaken by the programme and highlights the impacts they've had.

Text reads: MRC Environmental Sustainability Programme Impact Report (2023–24) Below the text is an image of a woman in a lab coat looking through a microscope, with a blurred man in the foreground.

I've heard repeatedly that new members of parliament are being lobbied by the gas industry on hydrogen for heating which we all know is a terrible idea.
Here are the facts about hydrogen, the reasons for the lobbying and what we must do - to a drum and bass soundtrack. 🕺🕺
Brilliant appointment

Five of the Fossil Fuel Industry's Biggest Disinformation Tactics
@guardian article by @WesterveltAmy and @kylepope

New tactic from climate change deniers(?): climate is changing, but is being malevolently changed by [insert govt/scientists/the man] for [insert crackpot reason]. Proper tinfoil hat stuff. I look forward to this flavour of bat shit developing further.
