#1 Just like during COVID, data is being manipulated when it comes to climate change. The climate cult claims that global warming is solely man-made, that the science is settled, and that the #ZeroCarbon strategy (similar to #ZeroCovid) is the only way to save us.

#2 The Pfizer revelations were not @JamesOKeefeIII's first heroic act. In 2021, he caught CNN's Technical Director, Charlie Hester, on tape saying that when the public becomes tired of Covid, the network will shift its focus mainly to climate change and global warming.
#3 Also Klaus Schwab and his @WEF stress the importance of protecting against "a new virus possibly, or other risks which we have on the global agenda" and climate change.
🚨 New paper 🚨
Green #hydrogen and derived #efuels are critical for #climate #mitigation, but when will they be available at scale?
In a new Nature Energy study, we look at a key bottleneck: the market ramp-up of #electrolysis capacity.

2/ #GreenHydrogen, produced from renewable electricity via electrolysis, is vital for the #EnergyTransition. In the #EnergyCrisis hydrogen is also considered an option to limit Europe's fossil fuel imports.
However, scaling up supply is a huge challenge!

3/ There's a lot of momentum in electrolysis project announcements. This is also much needed because global capacity needs to grow a staggering 6,000-8,000-fold from 2021-2050 to meet #NetZero scenarios. Yet, most projects still lack an FID, making them uncertain.

The @SanDiegoCounty #RegionalDecarbonizationFramework workshop is getting underway! Use our toolkit to call for a bold, equitable, regional approach at the scale of the climate crisis. We'll keep you updated on what's happening ... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #ActOnClimate docs.google.com/document/d/1d7…
We're excited @SupNoraVargas is here to welcome us and emphasize the need for an equitable approach to achieving #ZeroCarbon and @SupLawsonRemer says we need to reduce GHGs - in 3 main buckets for the County: energy, transportation and land use
@SupLawsonRemer emphasizes that it's important that this work invests in good paying, union green jobs. We agree 👏, and emphasizes that the real work of implementation happens once the plan is completed
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking, talking about & worrying about the #PlanningWhitePaper & proposed #PlanningReforms over the last 6 weeks. I’ve seen lots of criticism that I agree with about loss of democratic control, but less about potential impacts on the #ClimateEmergency.
The White Paper presents an alarmingly reductionist view of the role of planning, focusing mainly on the delivery and appearance of houses as individual units, and the appeal of an attractive street-scene, rather than holistically #sustainable design and function of entire places
In a societal sense, this is worrying. How places function must be at the heart of planning, before any consideration of the aesthetics of individual buildings. But from a #ClimateEmergency point of view, this reductionist view is potentially catastrophic.
To mark #ODI60 anniversary we're launching a #GlobalReset Dialogue to discuss how to create more resilient, equal societies beyond #coronavirus. A brilliant opening to the conversation today: @SudanPMHamdok @MaryRobinsonCtr @rodrikdani & Noeleen Heyzer. 1/

Further to this #popup #cycling #sustainability #zerocarbon #worldcyclingday might appear counter-intuitive that Manchester is not supportive of pop up cycle lanes. So a thread👇🚲🚴🚴♀️
Pop up cycle lanes have traction with the press and looks like they are also popular with (commuter) cyclists. Light segregation schemes are becoming increasingly popular in other cities on the back of the Covid19 pandemic #Cycling #Manchester
Sure they offer value for money and with being temporary, they also offer adaptability. Estimated cost of constructing a kerb-separated cycle track in central London is
approximately £700,000 per km, compared to around £60,000 per km for light segregation itf-oecd.org/sites/default/…

Our academics and researchers from across the College are providing their analysis of the #Budget2020. A thread 👇
Dr @AnaNMijic (@ImpEngineering) welcomes funding for flood defences, but highlights the challenge that large investments in road and housing infrastructure projects will increase pressures on the natural environment. Read her full comment: ow.ly/uPDL50yIStt #Budget2020
Dr @HarjoatBhamra (@ImperialBiz) said a budget focusing on ‘red wall issues’ will have to wait, as #COVID19 takes a higher priority. Read his full comment: ow.ly/uPDL50yIStt #Budget2020
Did you know - The #carbonfootprint of 120 years of HS2’s railway between London and the West Midlands (including construction & operation) will be equivalent to less than 1 month’s UK road emissions?

Climate Change poses the biggest threat to the UK’s environment. #HS2 is an important part of the Britain’s response and will help us meet our commitment to reach #netzero by 2050.

HS2 will free up extra space on the existing rail network. It will take cars and lorries off the road and reduce the need for domestic air travel. This will lead to a reduction in carbon emissions and improve air quality.

In 2017, for the first time, the transport sector overtook the energy sector to become the UK’s largest #carbon emitter. Transport was responsible for producing 27% of all UK greenhouse gas emissions.

Today, we launched new analysis setting out the future of the UK’s #energysector. Reviewing the latest evidence, a #ZeroCarbon energy system can only happen when energy customers & local energy are placed at the heart of the UK energy system. bit.ly/2XjXaaP

So many fun events coming up! The ADE's #Smart19 Conference for members will take place at @OsborneClarkeUK next week. We will hear from speakers across the energy system including @guynewey ,Mike Thompson @theCCCuk , @TfL & more! @OC_SmartCities ow.ly/DnfQ50uGYNy
Tomorrow @UKERCHQ seek to answer questions: What are the sources of disruption to the UK energy system? Which sectors/actors might face particularly disruptive change? They will be launching: 'Disrupting the UK energy system', London, 19 June, 4-7. bit.ly/2Jvn74V
