“The (Trump) administration is trying to pull the wool over Americans’ eyes, claiming that they care about our health, that they care about kids’ health, when in reality, they are moving so aggressively to eliminate dozens of (public health) safeguards. It’s really been heartbreaking to watch.”

This week biodiversity experts, academics and policymakers have come to Manchester for one reason: biodiversity. Specifically, they’ve come to #IPBES12 to set the global agenda for how businesses measure and integrate nature into their plans 🧵

Countries' carbon dioxide removal plans pose substantial threats to biodiversity, new research reveals. Analysis by the scientists shows that up to 13% of global areas of high biodiversity importance are allocated for land-intensive CDR deployment. 🧵

Today, the UK Government published its long-awaited Warm Homes Plan, which it says will cut energy bills, help tackle fuel poverty, deliver energy security, and address the climate crisis. Let’s take a look at the plan and break down why it matters...🧵

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

As ever, Private Eye sees through the way the usual-suspect media are happy to swallow wholesale and then amplify the BS from Tufton St lobbyists when it comes to net-zero And, as ever, @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org made all these points the moment the coverage landed

1/ Some wild numbers have been used in the media this week for “the cost of net zero”. Reports have said that net zero will “cost” £4.5 trillion, £7.6 trillion – the list goes on. None of these are the cost of net zero – a quick explainer 🧵 on why

This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication. I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero 1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system 2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free 3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us" 4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous 5) That's it! 1/10
