1/ Kemi Badenoch says she isn't a climate denier. Let's take her at her word. Here are five findings she wrote around this week as though they don't exist. 🧵

In amongst the grasses and daisies, in the space of 5 minutes I found six 7-spot ladybirds, one Scymini larva, about 20 grasshopper nymphs at different stages, three or four Ichneumon wasps, a thick legged flower beetle hoverflies, a honeybee, aphids and a bumblebee. If you plant it, they will come!

You can get to a high-warming world without high emissions . That's the part of this week's "RCP 8.5 is implausible" discussion that's getting missed. A short thread on why the relief is premature 🧵

1/🌡️ Global warming passed a milestone on 17th Nov 2023 that barely made the news For the first time ever, the world's daily average temperature was 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels Here's what the data says about when that becomes the annual norm, & whether it's coming sooner than anyone expects🧵

I went to Parliament today with 150 other scientists to #BringScienceToPolitics. As Sir David King said in his speech, we are currently still accelerating into the polycrisis and we need those in power to put the brakes on immediately! #ActOnFacts @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation for climate and the environment already? Well... Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill
