NEW – Analysis: Why clean energy will cut UK gas imports by more than North Sea drilling | @daisydunne.carbonbrief.org @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org Read here: buff.ly/7B0fLPB

ANALYSIS: Badenoch and Farage might not want to admit it, but Conservative and Reform plans to scrap net zero whilst boosting the North Sea would actually make the UK even more reliant on gas imports 🤔 www.carbonbrief.org/...

Goldcliff Pools: 19 Whitefront, 6 Chiffchaff (2 singing), 136 Blackwit, Ringed Plover, 14 Avocet, 6 Snipe, 3 Fieldfare, etc. #gwentbirding

Middle East war strengthens case for renewables, say clean energy experts - Oil and gas price shocks triggered by conflict reignite discussion about building defences to volatile fuel costs Story by @kenzabryan.ft.com and @attractamooney.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/001a...

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Either they didn’t think about the effect of the invasion on oil and gas prices or they did and didn’t care. I wrote a paper once distinguishing malice, recklessness, negligence, and incompetence. Sometimes you get them all at once.

Quick run round the lanes: 3-4 singing Chiffchaff plus another non-singing, manically feeding, individual. #gwentbirding

This is what ecocide looks like.

Ynysyfro: singing Chiffchaff, singing Stonechat, little else. #gwentbirding

Goldcliff Pools: 11 Sand Martin, 19 White-fronted Goose, singing Blackcap, 7+ Chiffchaff (4 singing), c.10 Redwing (3 singing), 85 Blackwit, 2 Pintail, etc. #gwentbirding

Goldcliff Pools: definitely 16 (17?) Whitefronts, 6 Avocet, little else of note. #gwentbirding #moist

Cannot remember the last time I ate beef or lamb (or goat). Must be *the easiest* and healthiest way to reduce your carbon footprint. Image c/o @worldresources.bsky.social #climate

Ooh, it’s arrived. Should help with the ‘by-catch’ whilst out syrphing. As ever, perfectly packaged by @nhbs.bsky.social. #diptera #syrphing

If you’re *still* on X/Twitter you need to read this (at least read the abstract/summary),… and then leave X/Twitter ASAP. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ynysyfro WeBS: one Pochard. #gwentbirding #barelybirding

Clarification: this should have read “zero high-speed EV charging “. #EVbirding

The north Norfolk coast, great birding, *zero* EV charging infrastructure. Literally *nothing* from King’s Lynn to Cromer. #EVbirding #blackhole #oldeworlde

Titchwell RSPB: Slavonian Grebe, female Scaup, male Hen Harrier, 2 adult Med Gull, 12 Whitefronts over, etc. Also,… SNOW! #norfolkbirding #nippy #snow

Sheringham: slightly bedraggled Eastern Black Redstart still; feeding around the beach huts and adjacent timber steps onto the beach. #norfolkbirding #moist cc @birdguides.bsky.social

Hickling Broad: GW Egret probably the best of it. Sea Palling: Iceland Gull, 3+ Caspian Gull and 2 Purple Sand. Winterton: 40 Snow Bunting. Ludham Airfield: 25 Bewick’s Swan. #norfolkbirding

Ludham Airfield at sunset: c.12 Bewick’s Swan amongst c.53 Whooper Swan. #norfolkbirding #gloomy #nippy

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Rhiwderin/Pentrepoeth: c.15 Hawfinch still present. #gwentbirding #misty #murky

Half-decent find on the walk to school this morning,… Ghost Slug (Selenochlamys ysbryda). Bit of a South Wales speciality, and the only slug with a species name derived from Welsh (ysbryd = ghost).

Goldcliff Pools: adult female Hen Harrier, imm. male/female Common Scoter off the point and Redpoll feeding alongside the car park. #gwentbirding #moist

When can we expect some leadership like this from the UK Government? cc @ruthjoneslabour.bsky.social

Goldcliff Pools, late morning: 15 Whitefronts (14 adults, 1 1st-winter). #gwentbirding

Is ‘Whimbrel déjà vu’ a thing? I think ‘Whimbrel déjà vu’ may be a thing. #birding

Had a Woodcock fly over the M4 (between J32 and J33) this morning,… which was nice.

Good to see the Democrats finally giving ‘MAGA Goebbels’ the respect he deserves.

Llandegfedd Res: quick look from the dam produced 50 Wigeon but little else. Llantarnam Ponds: 5 Goosander. #gwentbirding

Up to Cwmcarn along the canal this morning: 3 Goosander, 92 Moorhen, 368 Mallard, and 1 domestic duck. #quack #gwentbirding #lowcarbonbirding #birdingbybike

Rhiwderin/Pentrepoeth: 13-14 Hawfinch, 25 Greenfinch, etc. #gwentbirding #lowcarbonbirding #footit

An across-government technical assessment published today recognises that "nature is the foundation of national security" and that "every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse". A rational response to this would be to get very serious about nature recovery. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Has anyone asked the arch-appeaser Farage what he thinks of his mate Trump tariffing the UK because we’re defending Greenland from aggression? A vote for Farage in May is a vote to be ruled by Trump www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests,

Goldcliff Pools: adult female Hen Harrier, 4 Whitefronts and a Chiffchaff. #gwentbirding

I do hope my MP @ruthjoneslabour.bsky.social is supporting this bill.

Climate change has now shrunk US salaries by 12%. And worse is to come No matter where you live, a new study has found warmer temperatures are picking your pocket www.sciencefocus.com/news/climate...

There’s running a half marathon or marathon for a good cause, and then there’s running the Spine, all 268 gruelling upland miles of it. Well worth a few of your hard earned quid. 👇 #curlews #running #ukbirding

Bishton: 400 Lapwing and 40 Snipe. #gwentbirding

Collister Pill: several thousand calidrids, almost all in the air throughout my visit. Little else of note. The disturbance seemed to be caused by wildfowlers up towards West Pill. Why is any shooting allowed within the SPA? I mean, WTF does the P in SPA stand for? #gwentbirding

@oxfamgb.bsky.social: "The world’s richest 1% have used up their fair share of carbon emissions just 10 days into 2026", while "the richest 0.1% took just three days to exhaust their annual carbon budget". www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hi @ruthjoneslabour.bsky.social, quick query from a constituent,… have you ditched X yet?
