Oh, and on that note, please assume approval for short extensions over the festive period, get in touch if you have an anti-social review or resubmission deadlines so we can update them, and let ideas percolate as you eat mince pies. They're inspirational.

#ERSS Christmas holidays (2/2): resubmission etc. etc. It's hugely rewarding work, but we need a break every so often. So, the journal office will be closed from the 18th Dec-8th of Jan. We look forward to responding after we get back, and hope you take a much deserved break too!

#ERSS Christmas holidays (1/2): Not everyone realises that from submission to acceptance, it is an academic that looks after your article. An academic that has multiple jobs. As Managing Editor, this means that I review every new paper, extension request, system error, ....

It has been a pleasure to lead this special issue in @Climate_Policy. Launched in time for #COP28, and given the controversy surrounding oil, gas and the event, we are sure that all articles can meaningfully contribute to profitable discussions on #phaseout and #justtransitions.
SPECIAL ISSUE: "Oil and Gas Just Transitions" is out now, with a special editorial by @jenk2021. Read the latest research on oil & gas phase-out, decarbonization, and more, from authors @AioZabala, @MariusKorsnes, @AmyJaffeenergy, @KevinPGallagher, et al.👉 https://t.co/ltnrBBLMH0

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

The bosses of two of UK’s energy giants warned that for many, this winter will be tougher than last, with energy debt growing. @e3g’s analysis shows the current gov has failed to implement the structural solutions to lower bills https://t.co/7SK61s5Vxz
e3g.org
The UK government has largely failed to take the opportunity to permanently lower bills and boost energy security.
‼️ TODAY @ 17.00 Join us to hear @JeffSmithetc, Philippe Commaret of @edfenergy, Chris Norbury of @eonenergyuk, Gillian Cooper of @CitizensAdvice, @mikaminio and @soniasodha discuss how to make energy cheaper! + catch it on YouTube: https://t.co/14mfuNRZyw

27% of UK homes in the UK Gov's own survey did not heat their homes to a comfortable level in response to spiralling energy bills. That's 1 in 4 homes on the average street. > 1 in 10 skipped meals & took on more debt. Where is the UK's nationwide energy efficiency scheme?

A great thread for an overview of our recent #energyjustice and #energydemocracy paper, led by the wonderful @JanOsicka2 and @KacperSzulecki
New in #ERSS! With @KacperSzulecki and @jenk2021 we traced the development of #energyjustice and #energydemocracy research fields, asking which countries, topics, tech, and social groups are reflected, and how EJ and ED are defined. https://t.co/lrHHES4rCi

It's a pleasure to be in Inverness today and tomorrow as part of the Scottish Government's #FuelPoverty Advisory Panel's tour. The Highlands will always be my home and the challenges faced are distinct, heterogeneous, and critical.
The Panel is in Inverness today to hear about the impact of the energy crisis on remote, rural and island communities. Find out more about the two day visit here: https://t.co/eBC1Fcq54x

🌍New study: Lived experiences of double energy #vulnerability mean being locked into infrastructure, facing high costs & low incomes, having to choose between #energy & transport, & missing out on quality of life. Read more from Martiskainen et al here: https://t.co/0ZuGotP1z0

Did you spot the new #energyjustice book edited by @stefanbuzar, @sarakfuller and @tgreames? Including a chapter from Adolfo Mejia Montero and myself. I can't wait to get stuck in to my copy 🤓
This book is now available in physical form, after 5ish years of work ... Would have been impossible without such a great community of collaborators, especially co-editors @sarakfuller @tgreames. Very grateful to for the endorsement by @harrietbulkeley. 🌞 If you need to find
