The most grim plankton compilation video I've made. This should only be a beautiful world of microlife. Instead it's a microplastic-polluted, horror movie. Beauty and the beast. @zeiss_micro

The Economist just published this incredible and tragic chart. Given how many people are killed each year by big cars, it's worth understanding how we got here. Story time 🧵

Sure! The shortest version is: humans are endothermic, meaning we make our own body heat. We have to stay in a Goldilocks zone between too hot and too cold. If we're too hot, we sweat, our swear evaporates and it cools us off. With me so far?

Josh, would you consider a thread on wet bulb temperatures? What is that, how hot does it get, how does it cause deaths, etc.

The biggest barrier to faster and more reliable bus services is the dominance of the private car in Dublin. We need the NTA/DCC traffic plan implemented in full. I’m looking forward to updating the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport today. 👇 bit.ly/3yiaYdW

Here’s an 💡 idea Put that €6m into Traffic Garda and a portal adjudicated by a hub of experts without needing to attend a local Garda Station ! – at Hillingdon, London

A new 5 yr Belgian study shows the BIG impact of increasing vehicle weight on road deaths & injuries. When a person on a bike or walking is hit by a pick-up, the risk of serious injury increases by 90% compared to a car. The risk of death goes up by 200%. vias.be/fr/newsroom/des-voit…

#Climate #GlobalHeating When penguins die from heat, this is how they look: Their legs & feet extended Flippers often flung wide In a desperate panting pose Before their life drains away. I think we owe them the stark truth of what we do.

Paris in the Spring.❤️ The Mayor of Paris is proposing a citizen vote in February to increase parking charges significantly for SUVs and 4x4s in the city, given their impact on road safety, pollution and public space. 👏👏👏

‘If we want to reduce road deaths, we have to fix driver behaviour, not ask pedestrians and cyclists to shoulder even more responsibility. …..because it could be any of us the next time we step outside our homes to walk, cycle or drive’

“A study published in August by Vias Institute, based on five years of Belgian crash data, showed that for a pedestrian or cyclist struck by a pickup truck, the risk of serious injury increases by 90%; the risk of fatal injuries by almost 200% compared to a car.”

European legal loopholes allow unsafe imported vehicles on our roads (that is, unsafe for OTHER road users). Let's do something about it. Read our letter to @AdinaValean @EUAmbSchmidt here👇. ecf.com/sites/ecf.com/files/…

#Whales #Climate Lack of krill is reducing reproduction in humpback whales. Rapid warming in the Western Antarctic Peninsula & commercial fishing both deplete krill availability. The rate varied from 86% in 2017 down to just over 29.% in 2020. Nowhere is safe from us.

Some tips to @GardaTraffic Trees don't jump out on the road and crash into a car and wet roads don't flip cars! Who wrote this nonsense? 😡

The Road Safety Authority's annual conference is chaired by Ireland's biggest car lobbyist. A man who, just in the last month, objected to lower speed limits and an online system to upload footage of dangerous drivers. You could not make it up.

People are saying about 20mph limits: Its strange to find crossing the road easier Its strange to feel more comfortable walking and cycling Its strange to feel safer walking children to school Its strange to find quieter and calmer streets #20splenty where people are
