Churches across the UK — some centuries-old, uninsulated, many heritage buildings — are embracing electric heat-pump systems to replace oil and gas boilers. It’s a powerful symbol of how decarbonisation and stewardship go hand-in-hand.

As we head into summer, remember to keep combustion vehicles away from dry grass as they have a tendency to do this.🔥
This happened in NZ and 28 vehicles were damaged. Hopefully combustion cars won't cause too many forest fires this season.

Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

Energy efficiency needs a radical rethink.
Making fossil fuel technologies & processes incrementally more efficient is no longer enough.
It might even perpetuate their use. In my new article I explore how energy efficiency needs to evolve to remain relevant.
