Can we finally agree that burning wood for energy is a terrible idea and won't be carbon neutral, let alone carbon negative, in our lifetimes? BECCS using wood certainly shouldn't qualify as CO₂ removal (CDR).
There is no politician - and I mean none - who is better-placed than Ed Miliband to get us through this fossil fuel-driven energy crisis.
No-one in politics understands the energy system better. That’s why the billionaire fossil press hate him

"The Finch ruling (that he climate impact of burning coal, oil and gas must be taken into account when deciding whether to approve projects, wherever that burning takes place) has been one of the most groundbreaking environmental cases of the century. But it is already under threat."
Tractors are quite bad too on narrow country roads. Apparently cyclists need to know that tractors are unable to stop and cyclists should be prepared to jump off and dive into the nearest ditch.
This could be very useful in the West of Scotland!
Glasgow climate hustings are starting soon! 🚨

Soil Association report that should be bigger news than it is.
The warning is plain: food security is tied to soil health, and policy still rewards short-term thinking over resilience.
The slow-moving risks are always the ones that sneak up on you.

And it seems to have been forgotten that the original intent was to take it to Scotland.
Except for buses. Especially electric buses.
Flying - such a miserable way to travel: we need to make trains and ferries far more affordable
Just as there were people who resisted the introduction of inside toilets, seatbelts, women’s votes, lead free toys etc Tice & his party are similarly reluctant to embrace what most people can clearly see is needed. Unimaginative, regressive, fact averse idiots.
Let’s never let them run our country.
Ed Miliband hold firm! North sea oil and gas drilling won’t help anyone other than Nigel Farage | Zoe Williams
"In order to cut rising bills all UK households should receive a minimum amount of energy at rates subsidised by the government through North Sea taxes."

I stopped watching Have I got News for You during Corbyn's leadership years. Constant pathetic cheap jibes and misinformation about professed anti semitism. The programme was a disgrace. Seems it hasn't changed and I haven't missed anything.
More loud alarm bell ringing about the fragility of the global food system.
Includes confirmation of the importance of shifts to more plant-based diets in the UK (+ alternative protein sources)

Not content with doing our best to blow up and destroy our beautiful planet, we are already littering up our closest neighbour. I cannot get excited about this moon landing whilst we are doing such harm to our home.
Except most of that corn is for feedlots, ethanol, high fructose corn syrup, and other food additives, not corn, corn meal, or popcorn we would recognize as food.
I wonder if those who found it an absolute insanity and somehow "naive" when Zack Polanski suggested that maybe NATO needs revisiting are starting to come around now that the biggest NATO ally is literally threatening to obliterate a whole country over oil.
The US military has 22 sites in the UK.
Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran.
This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more.
The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.
This is what they seem to be saying.
Maybe drill Ed drill
Daily Mail headline says "Drill, Ed, Drill"
Translation: Net Zero threatens the value of our proprietor's investments. The world must cook for the sake of his portfolio.
Interesting. I wear ski gloves, summer or winter. I still think like a motorcyclist and want lots of padding and protection in case I get knocked off! But I should look into heated gloves.
I used to ride a motorbike with heated grips. They were fantastic.
Now I ride an electric bike which I love, but I really could do with those heated grips, and I'm sure it must be possible.
Millions of acres of land that could be used to grow crops or grow forests instead being sacrificed to grow biofuels to burn in cars
Using an area equivalent to just 2.5 per cent of this land for solar panels instead, would produce same amount of energy

At one point we were promised HS2 to Glasgow. That would have made life easier.
SNP at it too

Labour have demonstrated over and over again that they are not up to the task of tackling the climate crisis.
They're not up to the task of protecting our children and grandchildrens future.
We must fight back.

Oh Ed, what a disappointment 😞
Also: these are 'territorial', not 'consumption' emissions.
