Sad evening for me. I’ve spent years of my life on defeating #HeathrowExpansion but the bastard just will not stop clawing its way back onto the agenda. It’s the clearest indication yet that we may just be incapable of taking climate change seriously and doing what needs to done

It was such a palaver to get this simple thing back but it genuinely means a lot of cyclists can cross the river at Barnes bridge again 🙌
Barnes Community Association@BCA4Barnes26 Nov 2024
It’s back!!! After months of lobbying, @south_railway has reinstalled the bike ramp they removed earlier this year. We would like to thanks our local councillors and our MP @sarahjolney1 for all their help. Common sense prevails!

To protect nature when biofuel production does occur, the EU must: 🌳 Prioritise nature preservation as a value of land use. 🌡️ Monitor soil health for carbon absorption capacity reduction. 🧑‍🌾 Improve agricultural practice. Read the full report: sashacoalition.org/biodivers… 🧵4/4

Fuelling nature: How e-fuels can mitigate biodiversity risk in EU aviation and maritime policy —...

Using biofuels to decarbonise EU shipping and aviation puts biodiversity at serious risk. E-fuels are the only solution compatible with both climate and biodiversity targets.

But the EU does not have to sacrifice biodiversity to meet climate goals. To achieve both targets it must: 💸 Invest to scale up e-fuel production. 📉 Reduce fuel demand to ease already immense pressures on biodiversity posed by production to meet existing demand. 🧵3/4

Our findings show that: 🌽 Biofuels' extensive land use demand harms biodiversity.  ⛽️ Meeting EU aviation and maritime climate goals using biofuels would jeopardise EU 2050 biodiversity targets. 🟢 Only green H2 e-fuels are compatible with biodiversity targets. 🧵2/4
The impact on biodiversity of the four main alternative fuels for shipping and aviation between 2030 and 2050 graph. Results demonstrate that between 2030 and 2050 while all fuel mix scenarios have an increasing negative impact on biodiversity, the only fuel mix that is still compatible with EU 2050 biodiversity goals is the 'High E-Fuel' scenario.

🚨New report! 🚨 The EU must decarbonise shipping and aviation – but at what cost to biodiversity? On #COP29 biodiversity day, our latest research shows that using biofuel production puts biodiversity at serious risk. Only #GreenHydrogen e-fuels limit damage to nature. 🧵1/4

Labour can’t meet their climate goals through energy policy alone. We need systemic transformation to make behaviour change possible - from how we get around to how we heat our homes. My amazing colleague @julietm for @GreenAllianceUK: greenallianceblog.org.uk/202…

The most climate-friendly parliament yet has a public mandate for much stronger action 

This post is by Juliet Michaelson, co-director of strategic development at Possible. After a period of British politics characterised by the risk of climate descending into culture war, it’s welcom…

Remembering the formidable anti-racist campaigner Anwar Ditta. A working-class Kashmiri woman, she was born in Birmingham and lived in Rochdale, sharing platforms with the likes of Tony Benn and Arthur Scargill and leading numerous anti-deportation campaigns. 🧵

This viral tweet and accompanying video is a textbook example of how racists distort and manipulate media to incite pile-ons. Their target seems to be a lovely young woman but she isn't white and that's all the excuse these racists need. Here's the truth behind the video: /1

Will Norman@willnorman13 Nov 2024
Good news! Our consultation on extending Cycleway 9 between Brentford & Syon Park shows the vast majority of people think it'll enable more people to cycle in the area. We're now working with @LBofHounslow to update the plans following your feedback. haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/33493…

IT'S PUBLICATION DAY! And who better to summarise #HowTheRailwaysWillFixTheFuture than Britain's most effervescent ferroequinologist @MrTimDunn? "With confidence, Gareth explodes myths, explores facts and proposes some brilliant ideas."

Spain just can’t catch a break. An anticyclonic Rossby wave-breaking event will facilitate the development of yet another cut-off upper-level low next week. It’s too early for details, but the Levante region (eastern Iberia) should once again prepare for possible flash flooding.
