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.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.
Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.
Hang onto your hats.

Louder for those at the back. This is nothing to do with being anti faith and everything to do with equality in a modern day, inclusive and progressive Scotland.
Kate Forbes argues on Today that there's a risk of Scotland moving into "very dangerous days"

Back in 2019 Kansas City, Missouri, became the first large US city to make its transit fare-free. The results are pretty amazing. bit.ly/3Ax0gyT

Think of freeports as Low-Democracy Zones, in which the public, and regulators, have reduced influence over the decisions made by powerful people and business interests.

As Europe fries and burns in a lethal heatwave, here are the planes burning up the skies above right now, further fuelling global heating. We need to stop promoting aviation, travel in better ways & find a safe landing for the industry...

Clearly, we need a much better distribution of wealth, rent controls to ensure people have more money to spend on food, and other major shifts. But also, and immediately? The best proposal I’ve heard is also the simplest: subsidise the price of fruit and veg at the point of sale.

30°C above normal in the Arctic today.
40°C above normal in the Antarctic today.
It would be unbelievable if it were not true.
And it is terrifying beyond words.
The war we have waged against the natural world has, in climatic terms, just gone nuclear.

Wow, temperatures exceeded 5°C above average (relative to the 1951-1980 climate baseline) across a massive area of Eurasia last month 🔥

JUST IN: Global carbon emissions from energy rose 6% in 2021.
Up 2bn tonnes, biggest absolute increase in history and enough to offset the pandemic-driven decline in 2020, says @IEA.
So much for "build back better".

The US far behind Europe still, and it’s no coincidence that the UK, where so much Russian money lives, has done so little. Corruption is the only word for it. If they expose it, they will be implicated themselves. xitter.gq/DaveKeating/status/149…

So 179,000 tonnes of farmed salmon were produced were produced using 460,000 tonnes of wild fish which were caught and then turned into feed. Well that works!
A @Cambridge_Uni study finds in 2014 460,000 tonnes of wild-caught fish were used to produce 179,000 tonnes of salmon in Scotland. 76% of the wild-caught fish were species that are commonly eaten by humans. How can this ever be considered "sustainable"? ow.ly/UHLj50I7PV7

Colorado just experienced its most destructive wildfire in state history on... December 30th. The extreme fire weather behavior and rate of spread in a densely populated area in December is unprecedented and just hard to comprehend. #MarshallFire

Carbon offset forests burning as a result of wildfires fueled by climate change is so darkly satirical that you'd expect it to be a Black Mirror episode, but it's reality. We can't net-zero our way out of disaster ft.com/content/3f89c759-eb9a…
