In little over 24 hours, the petition for government to stage a UK-wide briefing on the climate & nature crisis has passed the 10,000 milestone. Please help us get this to 100,000 to secure a parliamentary debate - by sharing widely. #NationalEmergencyBriefing #TimeToStepUp

Code RED. Don’t make Mother Nature any more angry. Stop flying, ditch gas, lpg, petrol and diesel, get a heat pump, eat less meat, buy local, repair, cycle, walk more. Come on folks. Stop pretending the climate emergency won’t affect you or your children or grandchildren.

In just 14 years, the Swiss glaciers lost almost 25% of their 2010 ice volume, which corresponds to a wastage of around 15 km3 of ice. New paper: tc.copernicus.org/articles/20/...

Snap, crackle, pop.. the sounds from a dirty or faulty potentiometer in a guitar amp. 1st thought. Can we clean it rather than buy new. Answer yes. But it needed full disassembly and not just a squirt of cleaner. #Repair #Linlithgow

This BBC article states that "climate change is believed to have played a role in such hot spells as this." Let me fix it: Climate change IS making these hot spells more likely and more dangerous. Scientists have been warning of this for decades. www.bbc.com/news/article...

‘Planetary destruction on fast-forward’: witnessing the disappearance of Indonesia’s ‘eternity glaciers’

Currently exploring options to fix a singer sewing machine wooden case. Could patch or add new veneer layer on top. Food mixer might come in next week. Common fault of blown x2 caps. Likely to need gearbox overhaul, new electrical components and feet. #Repair #Linlithgow

Totally. And perhaps it’s time to make it mandatory to vote. Also - scrap the unelected House of Lords and replace HoC with a room fit for purpose with enough seats for all, digital voting, arc of seats over the aggressive face to face layout, morning prayers to get a seat, paper waving & bobbing.

It’s essential that we look inside stuff we repair. We were told that the iron being used on this extension lead wasn’t working. No wonder. Missing copper connectors, tin foil on the fuse, broken plastic, cable not held tightly. Be safe folks. This is a fire and electric shock risk. #Repair

This is obviously good news but the photo is a stark reminder that there's no such thing as a sustainable car

Here's where we stand (via @climateactiontracker.org): climateactiontracker.org No longer headed towards 4C thanks to global decarbonization efforts. But current policies could give >3C-that's truly catastrophic, civilization-threatening levels of warming. That's why we need additional action.

Glad elections are all over. Now what needs fixed. 1. England needs PR. 2. Parties with policies that deny climate science facts need banned. 3. Elections need to become mandatory for all and optional digital voting. 4. Before any election, we must show the National Emergency Briefing on TV.

Tomorrow is election day. Whatever your views, please get out and use your vote. Note, my X will never ever go to Reform or Tory parties, or any party that doesn’t grasp the urgency of the climate and nature emergency.

@johnswinney.bsky.social when will Scotland do this? Amsterdam bans public adverts for meat and fossil fuels www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The BBC and the Scottish media know the SNP will win the election and the Scottish Greens will do well. They've pivoted to - no one cares, people are scunnered. They'll do all they can to suppress voter turnout on Thursday in order to reduce the size of the pro-indy majority. . Get out and vote.

Destructive bottom trawling is costing the European public over £13 BILLION a year, new research shows 🚨 We need to have an honest conversation about who this benefits. It's certainly not local, sustainable fishers, nor is it our ocean 🌊 insideclimatenews.org/news/2704202...

The BBC News homepage has now COMPLETELY removed its Climate section?! It has now been relegated to a sub-menu via the "More" button in the right-hand corner.

Read please. Don’t keep your head in the sand. Do all you can in your own life, in your own home, in your community. Fossil Fuels need to remain in the ground. Time to use renewable energy in all we can. Plant trees, eat low carbon diet, stop flying, walk, cycle, etc.

A visitor tonight. One of several that drop past at night. Shame that a developer wants to build houses on land that contains their set. Existing planning regs are rubbish at protecting these animals.

What a mess. Bathroom company who did this couldn’t be bothered to remove or reduce the lead pipe and make a cleaner flow path for waste water. Oh but it’s ok because we can hide it with plasterboard.

We better get this toy fixed or we may be in a spot of trouble. Punching hands, rockets, discs. So far a bit of worn plastic has been mended. Next for the rocket mechanism. #Repair

A new study highlights one of the largest temperature anomalies recorded anywhere, ever.

The world is warming. Every country is warming. www.ShowYourStripes.info #ShowYourStripes

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math. less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

2/ It's called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the #AMOC. Warm, salty water flows north at the surface, cools, sinks, and returns south at depth. But add enough freshwater from melting ice and rising rainfall, and that engine stalls. It's happened before.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast. In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically. Most people have no idea. 🧵

Mixed emotions clearing out garage of a neighbour who has recently passed. Loved his car and bike mechanics. Lots of good tools. Glad we can take them and sort out. Some for Repair Shop, Tool Library, Shed and the rest for Garvald Edinburgh, for tool sale in May or metal recycling.

Come on BBC. The intro person is still paying for gas standing charge. it says the cost of elect to run the HP is full grid elec price. Rubbish. He will be running HP partially on free solar and if on smart tariff battery would be charged & HP run at cheaper rate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Scottish Green co-leader Gillian Mackay is standout contributor on Channel4 News' Scots leaders’ debate. Like Ross Greer in BBC debate her stance is crystal clear - opposing North Sea drilling, calling for wealth Tax & slamming Malcolm Offord who claims Glasgow is a ‘dumping ground’ for refugees.

#bbcdn - poorly managed debate from BBC yet again. Allowing party leaders to talk over each other. Waffle from a bunch of men who all failed to paint an inspiring vision for scotland. Watch @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social films on Denmark, Finland, etc. Scotland should be aiming higher and being bolder.

NASA get 4 people to the moon with cameras, food, broken toilet and safely back. Well done but limited value when a) robotic exploration of other moons in solar system would be more rewarding scientifically and b) spaceship Earth is overheating and that won’t end well for life as we know it. Focus.

The Atlantic’s “conveyor belt” is slowing. New observations from 16.5°–42.5°N show a two-decade, basin-wide decline in deep western overturning, the first robust observational evidence that the AMOC is weakening, confirming long-standing model predictions. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Awaiting new solenoid for this coffee machine. Should be fairly easy to swap the part and test. #Repair #Linlithgow

NASA Artemis moon flyby. Coverage poor, commentary poor, images poor. Science value minimal. Why are scientists not being honest and saying this is a waste of time and resources compared to exploring moons of other planets in the solar system. Come on. Stop pretending this is important.

95% of me thinks that NASA sending humans 2 the moon is a waste of resources. research of Saturn and Jupiter’s moons a smarter plan. But 5% of me loves photos like this because it shows how fragile our Earth spaceship is. No more wars. No more climate trashing. www.nasa.gov/image-detail...

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
