Good. Now we need action. Tax fossil fuel giants to pay for firefighting helicopters. A cool space in every community. A maximum working temperature. And no new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. We cannot negotiate with the science. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness

When I started building with straw, there were only a handful of people doing it. To put it mildly, universities had very limited interest in it. Now that is changing; #strawbuilding can no longer be ignored. But at the working end, there are still only a handful of people doing it. New papers list🧵

I've seen a lot of comments about the Swiss Club fire spreading due to wooden panelling/boarding, whilst there's an investigation pending, it's far more likely that the lethality and spread of the fire was due to the presence of polyurethane foam, absolutely horrible stuff

Fabric is still first if you want to improve comfort, health and affordability Ed. If you are only concerned about carbon sure, go ahead and sideline fabric. But you can expect to see fuel poverty, damp and mould increase. (And don't forget that leakier buildings = more generation & more cables)

Electronic screen showing introductory slide of the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products 2025 Reuse Summit. Most of the display on the screen has an orange background with very pale blue text across it. The right of the screen has a blue background (abutting the orange with a slanted edge) involving an almost grey image of a multi-storeyed building with scaffolding and fabric sheeting over it; this has small black text at the top right giving WiFi Code instructions. 
The screen has a black outer edge and is fitted within a pale, grained wood wall. In front is a four seated speaker podium with three mics visible. To the right is an upright wooden podium with part of the Institution of Structural Engineers logo appearing. Parts of eight seats in the auditorium are in front of both podiums.
