I'm proud to've made 5 talks on Radio 3 next week about human adaptability. Archaeologist Rose Ferraby reflects on our reliance on Stone, Wood, Pottery, Leather and Metal. Rose's writing and reflections are superb. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0015v2… @reducedlisten @roseferraby @BBCRadio3

Carbon capture and storage has been promised for 20 years. It has never materialised and never will. Its sole purpose is to create the impression that oil and gas drilling is compatible with a habitable planet. Any politician promoting it is working for the fossil fuel industry.

Contrarians are deliberately conflating ULEZ with Climate Change in order to make them both seem unpopular and to undermine #netzero. As we approach an election. The tactic is cynical, but only to be expected given the history of these people.
Geoffrey Lean@GeoffreyLean22 Jul 2023
Almost all the media (including the normally excellent @Channel4News) reporting ulez as a climate issue. It’s nothing of the sort. It addresses air pollution in London, and thus children’s health. Like a foreign report mistaking France for Germany!

Advertising works, that's the problem. @badvertising11 suggest that banning ads for flights would reduce demand.

It is terrifying to read the news but there is so much we CAN still do to prevent even more climate chaos. One of the most effective ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is to reduce flying. And that means no more airport expansion. #FlyLess bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-66…

Research indicates that additional flights being taken due to their promotion by advertising could result in up to 34 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in a year. The UK's comically named ‘Jet Zero’ strategy will actually lead to a 70 percent increase in flight demand by 2070.

Think we should fly more from @BristolAirport rather than driving to Heathrow? Maybe worth checking out flight routes first... #Scicily to #Bristol flies right past @HeathrowAirport Car or train produces far less pollution than flying #Greenwash #EyesOnBristolAIrport @baancc

You can always trust Bristol airport's greenwash merchants, conveniently overlooking the emissions of planes and cars. We deserve better as global temperatures skyrocket to new highs and Bristol airport stoops to new lows. @BristolAirport @EyeAirports @baancc @StayGroundedNet

Question asked at @BristolAirport #ACC (Airport Consultative Committee) @LBIAirport exceeded allowed #NightFlights by ~750 last year How can we be sure Bristol Airport is counting flights correctly? Response: Because we give the numbers to the #LPA Hmmm @galba_action @baancc
