Most people don’t realise how much air pollution harms our health. The RCP says many are unaware of links to heart disease, stroke & dementia. We need clear public info and stronger action to cut emissions. Clean air is basic public health.

What are they thinking? Oh, they aren’t!😞
It's real, and it's mind-blowing.

A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.
Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

A good day collecting signatures on behalf of the Lewes Road Air Pollution petition. Thank you to all those concerned residents who signed.

Young people are at the heart of National Parks and why these cherished landscapes were designated for the nation.

We're pleased to announce more than 7,500 children enjoyed school trips to the National Park over the past year, thanks to grants schemes.

This, alongside Labour’s nature destroying Planning and Infrastructure Bill, shows how little they think about protecting the planet upon which we depend.

Greens are the only party serious about a liveable future. 🌎 🌱

UK government publishes "AI Growth Zones" strategy - essentially places where they'll make it easy for data centres to connect to the electrical grid, plus other perks.

3,000-ish words, no mention of "green", "net zero", "climate". One reference to "clean energy".

@anthonyslaughter.bsky.social New #NuclearPower at #Wylfa would be nothing but an expensive distraction from the clean, fast and cheap #renewables already available to us

And there is still no answer to the safe disposal of #NuclearWaste

Outrageous that Live Facial Recognition is being used on local people in Crawley today.

I have warned ministers that police are acting unlawfully by deploying this intrusive technology with no approval from Parliament.

Less air pollution, warmer homes, better cities, and healthier people.

My latest for @theguardian.com looks at the #economic, #airpollution and #health gains from a low-carbon future in the UK.

Warmer homes and healthier people: what’s not to like about a low-carbon future?
Challenges of hitting net zero emissions are often discussed, but little focus is given to the gains of living in a low-carbon world

Energy security is national security.

Investment in renewable and low-carbon power should be counted as national security spending, say retired military leaders:

All 18 UK species of bat hibernate during the colder months, starting in around October - November. To help them out, you can leave dead wood and thick vegetation, such as Ivy, in your garden to provide vital hidey-holes. 🦇😴
