'Aren't heat pumps hopeless in the cold?'

That's one of three myths busted in the excellent book 'Clearing the Air' @hannahritchie.bsky.social which tackles 50 questions.

She clearly shows they perform well in cold weather, citing our Joule paper on heat pump performance during cold weather. 👇

UK Gas companies are mugging us off. They're raking in high profits while our household bills go up, our pubs close down and our high streets hand on by a thread. I've had enough, haven't you? @Greenpeace petition here to add your voice. 💚 action.greenpeace.org.uk/stand-up-to-...

The fossil fuel industry is fuelling societal conflict to distract from climate action.

There's so much to worry about right now, but we need to focus on climate change before it's too late.

This is the 2024 research that the White House just scrubbed from the web, showing that far right attacks in the USA far outweigh far-left attacks.

Full of interesting stuff if you read the Bill McKibben article via the link 💚
Bill McKibben (!) on our NZIPL report "what nation in its right mind would sign up to pin its energy future on the US, suddenly the ultimate unreliable nation? Instead, with a one-time buy of a bunch of Chinese tech, you control your own energy future"

Hey! I just signed a petition calling on the UN to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. Oil co’s make billions turning oil and gas into plastic; they aim to sabotage the talks to protect their profits and block real action on plastic pollution. Let’s stop them! 💚

Living standards for all UK families set to fall by 2030, those on the lowest incomes declining twice as fast as middle and high earners.

Poorest in UK already worse off than poorest in Malta.

It’s a common misconception that ADHD is just an inability to focus. Really, it’s a struggle to control focus.

I can hyperfixate for hours on complex but pointless tasks and freeze on simple tasks.

Some days, my brain’s a Lamborghini with no brakes. Other days, a rusty bike with a stuck chain.
