It’s been more than a decade since we learned that car manufacturers like Mercedes and VW were using ‘cheat devices’.

In that time thousands have died prematurely in the UK alone. So why no action? www.whatthelawdoes.com/p/sixteen-th...

The foundational assumption of science is that if we do the research others will pay attention to it and act. Otherwise what's the point, right?

Maybe just producing the information isn't enough any more

V interesting paper! Though US focused, the insights are relevant to the UK, too. We've seen misinformation on environmental measures such as ULEZ, LTNs, 20mph. Strategic communications and sustained public engagement will be necessary to win public support for implementing specific solutions.

In this new piece I argue that the climate crisis cannot be solved within capitalism. I think we need to take this fact seriously and consider what it means for the climate movement.

This term has seen slowdown in delivery of those, LTNs, anything bold or high quality. Instead, we've fallen back to TfL Buses apparently derailing, delaying, weakening everything & even progressive boroughs struggling to deliver much more than School Streets & hangars. Be better @london.gov.uk

The report calls for the Mayor to set out a public engagement strategy for net zero, and innovate further public engagement approaches. You can read the report here:

Having delivered ULEZ, @london.gov.uk now brings us a road tunnel, in 2025, which will further sink some of the poorest pockets of London, adding to the structural problems these marginalised communities already face. My musings over on Substack ingamills.substack.com/p/londons-si...

Removing capacity for motor traffic has cut traffic in West London.

Now we can see (again) what increasing capacity will do in East and South East London, when Silvertown opens next month.
