             BECCS is a #ClimateCon. The IPCC recognizes burying tree carbon doesn’t “remove” CO2 from the atmosphere. #BECCS #Drax

             CA’s largest proposed wood-pellet plant is on hold after thousands of public comments and broad science-based opposition. The replacement wood-chipping project will be just as problematic. #climate @NRDC

             Burning forests for energy + calling it a “carbon removal” = climate fraud. 40+ NGOs urge the EU to rewrite its CRCF methodologies before they undermine the EU’s forest carbon sink even further. READ:  https://t.co/2QzMBG01hJ

             The Dutch House has declared biomass & BECCS policies controversial—putting them on hold. No more false climate solutions that harm forests & biodiversity. The caretaker govt is out. Voters decide what’s next. Climate justice, not biomass greenwash.

             THREAD: A few thoughts on today’s biomass (Drax) announcement by the gov. Overall, clearly @Ed_Miliband & @energygovuk are not overly enthusiastic about wood pellets – on grounds of value for money & sustainability. So, a MUCH more limited role for Drax from 2027-2031. 1/10
