Interesting numbers @drandrewboswell.bsky.social
The installed capacity of carbon capture and storage is about 50 megatonnes per annum of carbon, but it actually captures about 30 a year

Have been hunting for this number for a LONG time - buried in a DNV CCS report ->

CEO of Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management: "There is a very low level of ecological literacy being displayed by ministers. Nothing I have seen or heard gives me comfort that Rachel Reeves understands the importance of nature to economic and social wellbeing. Nothing."

Cutting the insulation schemes that are one of the best ways to permanently reduce energy bills for low income families would be an eyewateringly daft & counterproductive way of seeking to reduce energy bills, as well as driving up emissions & leading to mass job cuts in the insulation sector 🙄
Cutting home insulation funding will imperil UK’s climate goals, Reeves told
Energy firms and charities urge chancellor to avoid short-term fix that could also harm low-income households

The drought is expected to continue into next year. If that happens, and we have a spring and summer with below-average rainfall, England runs a risk of running out of water.

Rosebank - THE defining test of this government’s credibility on climate change.

From the 20th Nov it’s their choice …

Will they #StopRosebank ?

For those around in 2040, I hope so.

We need countries to show leadership, and we need that now.
BREAKING 🚨: @zackpolanski.bsky.social has joined 250+ organisations calling on Keir Starmer to reject the controversial Rosebank oil field.

Rosebank is a defining test of this government’s credibility on climate change. They must reject this disaster project.

0.4°C/decade warming rate…

2035 could be awkward…

#ActNow
October is the least warmed month and reached +1.55°C during a La Niña!

The past 29 months were +1.57°C on average, 0.32°C above the same 2015-2017 period, indicating a 0.4°C/dec warming rate.

That's more than a doubling from the 1970-2010 warming rate.
Even(?) we might have underestimated this.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

We are already at a death every minute due to climate change…

This will get worse if Labour forget their climate promises and approve new oil drilling - like ROSEBANK - in the North Sea.

I’m no expert, but it seems to be going up. Very quickly…
This is how the total greenhouse gas forcing changed over the past 130,000 years, relative to 1750 and converted to CO₂.

We've ain't seen nothing yet!

In his latest blog, Sir David King warns: cutting CO₂ alone won’t be enough.

Methane drives over a third of global warming. Acting on it today could slow heating within decades. The technology is here. What’s needed is focus, fairness and political courage.

Net zero by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5°C. That may have been plausible 10 years ago, but the continued rise of emissions means that there is effectively no carbon budget left for 1.5. It is cumulative emissions that drives warming. 1/6 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A just transition means not only cleaner cars but fewer of them, as well as real benefits for resource-rich countries. Key to that will be reshaping urban life around mass transit, not pretending that the current model can persist, albeit with different engines.
