This is what the world will look like over the next 100 years...if we fail to act. We have no time for business as usual. No time to waste, no planet B. #ActOnClimate

You don’t need to know ANYTHING about prawns to apply for this job - I will be supervising this post and only know how to eat prawns. But if you want to be part of really exciting, cutting edge, highly interdisciplinary research- this is for you.
We're hiring for the UK Sustainable King Prawn Project! The ideal researcher will have spatial analysis skills with a wide transdisciplinary focus including economics and programming skills. https://t.co/ulodJQfqxm

Many countries exclude renewable energy projects from being built on certain areas of land (e.g. National Parks, high-quality farmland) to protect the environment & food security. In this 🧵, I summarise my latest paper looking at the implications of using such exclusions (1/7)

Removal of hedges to make larger fields is but one factor leading to massive biodiversity declines in farmed landscapes. This sequence reveals how this bit of landscape went from about 40 fields to around half that.
This is a remarkable piece of work. 90 years of changes in landuse on a tiny corner of England. Extensively researched. Multiply by thousands and you can understand the collapse of biodiversity and increased flash flooding. By @outhwaitegeorge

After the economic nonsense and environmental degradation proposed by Rees-Mogg and Co promoting fracking and curtailing wind and solar power, it’s important to recognise that some in the Conservative Party are promoting sensible policies for cheaper, greener energy
So far, 3⃣2⃣ Conservative MPs have signed the amendment to end the onshore wind ban. We can lower people's energy bills by building new cheap, clean onshore wind farms where communities agree. It's time to unlock Britain's wind power potential.

Lancet Commission on Green Growth Post Covid. @MarkFreemanYork and I wrote a short piece on how CBA of public projects should reflect the insurance value of avoiding disasters, like pandemics. Meaning, preparedness is important. @EnvBatman @Leep_Institute

Right, I've made a thread to try and clarify the sheer weight of public, business, civil society and political support for @SimonClarkeMP's onshore wind amendment. It's enormous. 1/10
In today’s @Telegraph, I make the urgent case for why we should drop our blanket ban on onshore wind, and let communities decide. It cuts bills, cuts emissions and strengthens our energy security. https://t.co/sXkp2Yp6ic

New Amazon die-back paper: "Based on the ensemble mean of the detected dieback events we estimate that 7±5 % of the Northern South America region will experience abrupt downward shifts in vegetation carbon for every degree of global warming past 1.5˚C" https://t.co/r8DLUejCW5

Abstract. Amazon forest dieback is seen as a potential tipping point under climate change. These concerns are partly based on an early coupled climate–carbon cycle simulation that produced unusually...
