You may have seen in the last few days a story about one of the UK's leading "green" figures deciding to launch a "green" private jet company, but using kerosene in the tanks otherwise he can't get started quickly enough. Here are some thoughts... 🧵
theguardian.com/business/2023/… Vince says "Green living is not about giving things up – everything we like to have in this life can be done in a net zero life."

Unfortunately (I'd like it to be true), this is rubbish. The best science shows aviation needs demand reduction ahead of future potential tech-fixes.

This evening I submitted my first ever planning application to Bristol City Council. It was a listed building consent application for retrospective application for the removal of the Grade 2-listed statue of Edward Colston. THREAD It's a common misconception that you need to own the land you are applying for planning permission on. You don't. You just have to serve notice to the owners. In this case, it's Bristol City Council. I couldn't find an obvious generic email address so I sent it to complaints.

Right, it's time to debunk the widely held view that closing roads to traffic just displaces traffic onto surrounding roads and so is undesirable. (All of the following is from Cairns, S., Atkins, S, and Goodwin, P. (2002) "Disappearing traffic? The story so far.") The image shows the recorded changes in traffic levels from 63 individual case studies where roadspace was removed. 51 showed a general traffic decrease in the surrounding area, and only 11 showed a traffic increase.
