Bluebell Woods

Lovely walk at Blackwood Forest. Carpets of bluebells.

Easter walk

Thank you

Hi Katherine,
Hope you don't mind me asking. A friend is curator of reptiles at the natural history museum @MarcEHJones and regularly likes your tweets on twitter. He's not sure why he's been blocked but I wonder if you would reconsider?
Thanks

CO2 emissions from China are down 1.6% for Q1 2025 and 1% for the past 12 months. The most recent peak in CO2 emissions from China was back in March 2024. Emissions are dropping because despite continuing to build out fossil fuels, renewable capacity and generation has increased in China and many sectors of their economy now have emissions that are flat or dropping.

CO2 emissions from China are down 1.6% for Q1 2025 and 1% for the past 12 months. The greater deployment of renewables relative to fossil fuels appears to be starting to cut into emissions. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cle...

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it, already started the induction courses they offer

Today I completed my @openuniversity.bsky.social application to start studying environmental science from October.

i've wanted to do this for a long time and now that I'm only a few years from retiring it feels right.

March 2025 was tied with March 2016 and March 2024 as the warmest on record in the Berkeley Earth dataset. It was 1.55C above preindustrial (1850-1900) levels.

For more details, see the full Berkeley Earth surface temperature report for March here: berkeleyearth.org/ma...

There is no country/zone with a) high prices and low carbon emissions or b) with low prices and high emissions.

The higher the carbon emissions from electricity generation in 2024, the higher the prices and vice versa.

Italy's energy regulator extends until 2027 the scheme that allows households to benefit from additional capacity (6kW) at night and weekends to charge their EVs at no additional network charge. This scheme incentivises more efficient use of the grid by shifting most home charging to off-peak hours.

Warm homes and cheaper bills as government accelerates Plan for Change Households across the country are set to benefit from cheaper bills and warmer homes as the government accelerates its Plan for Change.

It’s my day off so the Govt has announced its new minimum energy efficiency standards #MEES. Only 8 years since the Conservative Govt flagged they’re needed. 🧵 on initial news and thoughts.

This is not normal.

Sea ice in the seas around the arctic is disappearing when normally it would still be gaining

What is Trumps end game ?

The message so far is that you can no longer trust USA on the world stage and we must all become less reliant on them.

It's the ones that start with how unsure they are to draw you in.

"I don't know if...."

As soon as you respond they are suddenly certain the earth isn't warming, heat pumps don't work, EVs are rubbish etc, etc.

Graphics fill of statistics on the efficiency or in efficiency of cars

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

Every single global scientific research body and establishment distress with you.

And I see no point in carrying on a conversation with someone this ignorant

The sun is good but you can get sunburn if you stay out unprotected for too long .

These arguments are meaningless without context. Being 'good' is subjective.

I missed the last one but will be doing tonights

Can anyone really claim to be surprised to discover space Karen backed Trump because he's a white supremacist?

It's clear you aren't going to grasp this.

No one ( and I mean no one) is planning to be solely reliant on wind and solar for electricity, even if the amount of W&S is increased and therefore reduces the amount of fossil fuel used.

Here's the grids plans.

Yep, he hasn't got a clue what he's talking about.

Heat pumps don't care whether the electricity is generated by wind, solar or gas. They are just a more efficient way of converting electrical energy into heat.

I'm smart enough to see you have zero evidence to support your arguments and so think spouting opinion will hide your inadequacies.

Look carefully at the text that is in quotes.

Nothing that says heat pumps are more expensive or will never be cheaper.

You've been duped.
