At its most basic level, sciencewashing entails using the vocabulary of science, and borrowing its authority, to claim sustainability outcomes.

Did you know that gardens make up 4.6% of UK land mass but 42% of that has been paved over?

As the world is showing, nature has the weakest protections imaginable. Communities buying up as much land as possible for nature remains a top priority. One way people can do this is through financially supporting conservation charities. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

A study from colleagues in SNES and @uniofgalway.bsky.social analysing over 500,000 tweets from 2006 to 2021 found that public discourse on invasive species heavily favours charismatic animals over ecologically harmful plants 🐱 www.ncl.ac.uk/nes/news/new...

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵

AGC Chemicals told us they did not manufacture PFOA + any we'd found must relate to historic use at the plant. 2 share.google/g9CFC8Wo6Y0P...

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary. This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5kz...

Great fun working with RewildingFilms to create a short film for @woodlands.co.uk on my favourite invader Himalayan balsam! Check out the film here: youtu.be/5EQQlLWOaRk?... I've learnt so much about plant community dynamics researching this incredibly successful species.

The detection and attribution data cited by @frediotto.bsky.social has been established and peer reviewed science for over 20 years and it’s taken the fossil fuel industry and its media partners that long to mount a defense. In 2005 … 🧵 1/3 @michaelemann.bsky.social
