As with any change no one person changes things on their own. So those who moved me also include @kathykijiner @AchalaC @BerniceWLee @katehamptongray @dwspice and so many, many more. Together we amplify each other. climatechangenews.com/2019/0…

Advocating small, manageable, personal consumption changes as a way of dealing with climate change actually reduces support for the larger-scale policy changes that are necessary, at least according to this one study: nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

In case you didn't know, there are kelp forests in the arctic! And they are likely going to expand in a warming future. Nice article and link to great review paper by @Filbeek & co.

It won't help @NatResWales get out of special measures to advertise for a new Board Chair for whom it is only 'desirable' to 'demonstrate an interest in the environment & sustainability' - that's an abdication of your responsibility, should be *essential*

To all those who believe stating and restating the problems and challenges of decarbonising is a reason for believing its not possible and not doing it at all - you're cowardly. Lets get on with #zerocarbonbritain because the difficulties are not a reason not to do it

Once again, @JohnHumphrysr4 making ideological statements by saying "zero by 2025 is not possible & cloud cuckoo land". Hes supposed to be a neutral interviewer @BBCRadio4 and by saying that shows he hasnt read the evidence - it is possible and must be done #zerocarbonBritain
*every* time I hear @BBCNews on @ExtinctionR protests & the net zero / carbon neutral target they give voice to people & INTERVIEWERS who say its not possible & 2025 is too soon. Its too late for such unambition & its unethical to consider anything less REPHRASE your questions.

Reading a report clearly written by Dutch people:
"Ireland is a good example of a country that mostly puts its money on carrots and sermons."

Exciting call for action from @forestsandwood on 🌲 🌳 planting to tackle #climatechange English and Welsh Govts need to up their game... big time! @blackgull @ttjonline @Forestry_UK @FORESTEUROPE @FAOForestry
Time to #ThinkGlobalPlantLocal
“Climate change is the biggest challenge for us all; politicians must raise their game, not set a low bar then fail to get over it."
Confor sets "ambitious, realistic" planting targets to 2030 to help tackle #climatechange confor.org.uk/media/247361/w…

The last time carbon dioxide levels were this high, Greenland was mostly green, sea levels were up to 20 meters higher and trees grew on Antarctica.
That was 2.6-5.3 million years ago. cnn.it/2Kec68Y

Imagine being a forester and getting paid $100 a tonne for your Carbon .... imagine if that captured carbon was used in construction instead of CO2 emitting material like concrete.... – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Canada B.C.’s Carbon Engineering secures $68-million to commercialize direct CO2-capture technology. The company says its technology costs less than $100 a tonne. Reusing or storing it brings down cost further. @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/business…

On the #internationaldayofforests this is an excellent article about how we can move to a low #carbon future. More trees & more forests of all types are urgently needed. 🌳🌲🌳🌲 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

A backwards step for the UK, new deep sea coal mine approved off the coast of Cumbria. Apparently 500 jobs and chance to reduce reliance imports outweigh climate and local amenity concerns......

At the farm level, Caro wants to see more fruit trees. At the landscape level, she wants to see less soil erosion and degraded land. Overall, she thinks in the future we should produce more food on less land. #AfricaClimateWeek
