There's an army of people out there telling us change is impossible.

10 years ago electric vehicles plaid almost no role in global car sales.
Today one in five cars sold worldwide is electric.

Absolute marmalade-dropper, this. Well worth a read.
My latest: Move over bat tunnel, here’s the wild story of how HS2 were forced to build a multi-million pound bridge for a road that… doesn’t actually exist.
How HS2 built a bridge to nowhere
A state-of-the-art road bridge has been built deep in the heart of rural Buckinghamshire. Designed to carry traffic over the HS2 railway, there's just one tiny problem - there's no actual road.

This is so deeply unserious. Throughout the entire 14 years of the Conservative government oil and gas licenses were routinely issued and for much of the period there was a policy of maximising extraction.
Production still fell, the economy flatlined, and energy security got worse.

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold.
“We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

In the 1960s the USA spent 4% of its budget on NASA, AKA the Space Race. By comparison we are doing *very* little on our own climate. The day is coming when we'll have to go Space Race in the name of repairing and improving the climate on the objectively FAR better planet Earth. #earthgoodmoonboring
A Met Office study reveals that the chance of exceeding 40°C in the UK is accelerating at pace.
The chance of exceeding 40°C is now over 20 times more likely than it was in the 1960s.
Temperatures several degrees higher than we saw in July 2022 are possible in today’s climate. bit.ly/4lfcTU4
