This should make us all think and storage and transfer technology will improve #renewables #lowcarbon
With talk of solar panels & farmland - a reminder the land req'd for #solar panels alone to provide *all global energy is 450,000 km2, 0.3% of the global land area of 149 million km2 – less than the current land footprint of #FossilFuel infrastructure 🤯carbontracker.org/reports/th…

A really impactful if disturbing infographic. The link between rising CO2 and our changing climate is undeniable #ClimateCrisis
Atmospheric CO₂ peaks in May each year, "just before plants in the northern hemisphere start to remove large amounts of CO₂ from the atmosphere during the growing season."

Brilliant timing that #EFS21 follows the evidence session at @CommonsEAC yesterday. Many common themes of partnership, collaboration and innovation.
It was great for guests to be welcomed by RT Hon Philip Dunne MP this morning, hearing about the impact unflushable items have on our rivers and seas. #EFS21

A fantastic thread on a lovely part of Hampshire, looking forward to working with you Nicola to further protect and enhance the #Itchen and #Test #chalkstreams
With huge thanks to @anicolson for the introduction & Roger Harrison for sharing his slice of paradise, here's a thread on the enchanting River Itchen downstream of Alresford, my 1st experience of crème de la crème of #chalkstreams.

A sobering read, we will continue our efforts to #decarbonise and we must all ensure our businesses, communities and the environment is #resilient for the future we face

Utterly shocking pictures, all our thoughts are with those in #Germany and other parts of Europe tackling the #floods. #climatechange
These photos from @BezRegKoeln show the devastation caused by the torrential rain and #floods in #Germany, which reportedly killed dozens of people
Our thoughts are with everyone affected

Good to see the hard work going on to protect the environment, met @Debbie_Tann and explained what we've been doing. The inescapable fact though is a large third party diesel spill.
Our work continues on the River Test to help mitigate the environmental impact from the diesel spill, caused by a third party.
Here’s Director of Environment & Corporate Affairs, Dr Toby Willison talking more about it. For our latest statement, visit: ow.ly/mnFg50FnAfj

What fantastic maps, and an even more valuable ecology. The main reason we're working so hard to reduce our reliance on the #Hampshire chalk streams for public water supply, including looking at desalination.

Of course @ChrisGPackham is right about being ambitious about reducing water use which is why our plans also include working with our customer to get to 100l per person per day. #wateruse #chalkstreams

On #WorldEarthDay it's worth reflecting that our individual health and wellbeing, community resilience and economic prosperity are all dependent on our environmental well-being

Very sad news, thoughts with Peter's family. As a member of @EnvAgency Board he was a passionate and enthusiastic environmentalist. He'll be sadly missed #RIP
We are very sad to have to announce the sudden passing of our Chair of Trustees, Peter Ainsworth who has been a passionate advocate for heritage - he will be greatly missed. visitchurches.org.uk/what-we… @Heritage_NGOs @PeterAiers

The apparently inexorable rise continues, the move to #decarbonise must become a charge. When I was first doing research on #climatechange 30+years ago the figure I always quoted was 372 ppm.
A joint statement from @metoffice and @scripps_ocean's Keeling Lab on new record high #CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere as milestone of #420ppm is breached.
