I put this point to a friend who was considering getting an SUV and he responded quite positively - but then he hadn't got one yet. A sticker campaign might also prove effective, but I'm not sure shaming peeps is constructive.

We went to the wonderful soil exhibition at Somerset house. This piece was off in a side room and totally blew me away. Palestine never was a land with no people. Poignant and beautiful.

The average weight of cars sold in Europe increased by 21% between 2001 and 2022, leading to increased consumption of public space, heavier vehicles, reduced road safety, poorer visibility, and declining air quality. Autobesity

Coming here as a non twitter person I find these imaginary arguments with people who talk like “the left” is a football team or something really weird. Isn’t fascism just bad? Or did I miss the point?

Yeah but this is BSky…. We can debate something more interesting. Like whether the fossil fuel industry funds anti-bike hate? Or if cyclists should even be sharing space with cars.

Thought experiment: if people start making money from capturing and removing carbon, could that change the balance books of companies that spit it out? And could that change the way the world economy functions fairly fast... grasping at straws here for a bit of hope.

I once edited a film about using gene splicing to make male mozzies infertile. Although the tech was terrifying they probably chose the right species to roll it out on.

This is a short film I produced with the lovely team from Razor, CGTN's science show. It's part of a series of work looking into the emerging carbon removals industry, a journey of discovery which which started with seaweed..... www.theguardian.com/environment/...
The creeping threat of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt
Visible from space, an explosion of harmful seaweed now stretches like a sea monster across the ocean. Could robots save us from it – and store carbon in the process?

The grandson of a coalminer, a Welsh entrepreneur is taking carbon out of the sky, locking it back in the ground AND creating jobs for legacy skills from coal and steel. But is the carbon removals industry, bogged down by greenwashing scandals, fit for purpose? www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2VW...
How is carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere?

Could that have been the original reason we brewed beer anyway? To make dangerous medieval water safe? (Just wondering… no facts here)
