We obsess about C02 in climate law&policy, but there are other negative GHGs too - #METHANE's in the front rank! Our new extensive study "Methane Emissions: Current Trends in Policy and Regulation" covers this! In @THEFNREL journal From @AberdeenUni,@WoodPlc, @USPOnline, @LSBU

It was a beautiful occasion in London last night celebrating the life of my beloved friend Prof Len Doyal, who passed away recently last year. A great person, friend, & philosopher. Our shared adventures working on the #FreeCharlesByrne case came second to our friendship.
