@breadandcircuses

We should be prioritizing rural areas and farmers for e-vehicles, and prioritizing public transit, trains, bikes, walking, etc for city dwellers. People in rural areas need ways to get around.

Round my way in many ppl think that spending £££££’s repairing Madeira Drive victorian arches is more important than spending on measures to promote sustainable transport and reduce carbon.
Here is news for them! 👇

5.3 metres – the degree of sea level rise now unavoidable from West Antarctic Ice Sheet melting ALONE – is sufficient to entirely submerge most of urban Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, and an enormous area of southern Iraq (Qatar gets off surprisingly lightly).

Are they sure they want to pump YET MORE oil?

The interesting thing about capitalism is that it's entirely incompatible with the future. So we've just decided to get rid of the future and keep capitalism for a short while

Shame on West Midlands Police for doubling down on this debacle. It's one thing for misguided officers to conduct an unjustified stop, another for the force to stand by it. Discouraging people cycling while simultaneously sowing distrust in the police. Well done(!)

Completely perfect textbook example showing that we have been tricked into believing that streets are for cars and not for people.

My post: Pedestrians, it should be our right to be distracted. It should be our right to walk and listen to music / look at the sky / cute dogs / snowflakes and not worry about getting killed. Nothing about that is dangerous except for CARS. Don't let them make you believe you are the problem.

A reply: @mbonsma you have the right to be killed by a car for not paying attention when you venture out in the road you realize that their are cars their.   YOU HAVE THE RIGHT to walk on sidewalks those are made for you as pedestrian and you can do whatever.   IF YOU don't want to play well with cars in the streets or in cross walks which are shared prop.  OKAY, it's your funeral.  that's how it works...you can blame the driver if you're dead

Paris now has 180 gorgeous ‘#schoolStreets.’ They are pedestrianized and landscaped streets around schools - to mitigate crashes, prioritize walking to school, reduce noise and air pollution. No brainer, really.

A street without cars, row of trees and vegetation, people walking.

I was walking around my house about a week ago and decided to take some autumn harvest pictures. A garden is usually defined as an area of human agriculture that takes more work/calories put in then you get out. I am proud to say that my quarter-acre lawn is edenic in that I am too lazy to do almost any work at all yet we still get food from it. Here's a short thread. #gardening #harvest

HS2, tunnel *and* Thames tunnel set to be scrapped? Maybe there is an upside to having an incompetent government after all - they lack the ability to do their own bad stuff.

Last year the major oil companies pocketed four trillion dollars in profits. That’s not total sales, that’s profit!

💵 💵 💵 💵 Four TRILLION dollars in a single year. 💵 💵 💵 💵

Now just imagine how much could be done to clean up the environment, to slow climate change, to save vulnerable species from extinction, and to right the wrongs of global economic injustice if only we had four trillion dollars to spend.

THIS is why we urgently need system change. We must take that money away from those climate-wrecking fossil fuel companies and use it for good.

"How do we raise trillions of dollars to fight the climate crisis? The answer is staring us in the face."
