The UK ‘only’ contributes 1% of global emissions – in our new article for @theconversation.com we show why it doesn't make us exempt from climate action. theconversation.com/uk-only-cont... @chlobrim.bsky.social @eciu.net @bas.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk

UK ‘only’ contributes 1% global emissions – but alongside many other countries, that all adds up

If many countries take the stance that ‘we’re only contributing 1% of global emissions’, responsibility dwindles and action stalls.

How Reform Plans to Upend Decades of UK Climate Action

Richard Tice, Reform UK’s deputy leader, wants to revive Britain’s oil and gas industry and cut back on renewables.

"Tice’s comments came in a combative interview where he threatened to walk out when presented with information from the [IPCC]. Tice…declined to name advisers who convinced him the scientific consensus was wrong." Extraordinary interview by @akshatrathi.bsky.social & @oliviarudgard.bsky.social

Reform Deputy Leader Tice ‘Fundamentally’ Rejects Climate Science

In an extensive interview about climate change and energy policy, Richard Tice dismissed the threat of global warming and doubled down on fossil fuels.

Every now and again, it's worth popping quickly onto the Telegraph's website to remind yourself just how hysterically and ludicrously obsessed they are with Ed Miliband and net-zero. Just from the past few days...

🚨Announcing The Polar Climate Space: 🚨 Our next hackathon/bootcamp on polar climate processes is now open for applications! 🥳 Part of our @esa.int project #PISCO Come and work with us on Earth observation data and polar climate models. Both senior scientists and ECRs welcome to propose projects

80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein. 16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.

🔔🚨 New Publication Alert! Research has shown that the Antarctic Ice Sheet is a climate tipping element. We found: it’s not one — it’s many. 📄 Paper (open access): www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📢 Press release: www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late... Tread below 🧵👇

We are seeking a 3+ year postdoc in ocean modelling, to work on an exciting project investigating underwater tsunamis in Antarctica. More about the project here: www.polomints.ac.uk Read more about the post here: lnkd.in/eBjndZPv Please share and help connect us with the best candidates!

Analysis: UK newspaper editorial opposition to climate action overtakes support for first time "All 98 editorials opposing climate action were in right-leaning titles, incl the Sun, Mail, Telegraph, Times & Express" By Josh Gabbatiss & Sylvia Hayes www.carbonbrief.org/...

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on: * Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc AND * Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero I kid you not, it is that stupid

Simon Evans@drsimevans.carbonbrief.org · 7mo ago

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero 1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system 2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free 3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us" 4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous 5) That's it! 1/10
