Institutions who declared climate emergencies a few years ago might need to review their response, given the crisis is speeding up.
Regular people’s assemblies might be a good start.

Fresh hell: Carbon-Neutral Ads
This is dystopian for anything, but in this case it’s for Bet365.
The scheme boasts clients can:
“offset the carbon footprint of their in-feed advertising campaigns by investing in green initiatives across the world”
“We’re committed to continuing our evidence-based self-defence training for kids mixing with lions. It shows provable reductions in the rates of children being eaten compared to non-lion-trained kids.”
My bus in Norwich just had a ticket check by a private security guard working for FirstBus who displayed two Thin Blue Line badges on his black uniform.
My man, you’re not even a cop — why cosplay as a fascist?

“GENERATED WITH AI”
Imagine if our government wasn’t trying to appease and accelerate AI profit but wanted to protect the public?
How about if AI companies were required to embed prominent labels on any generated material, especially images or video?
Like tobacco.
Local children to be given important Lion Safety lessons to teach them to be safe in all their encounters with lions. 💪
Remember: lion safety is a shared responsibility!
The word fools should be used a lot more

Introduced in 2018 and expanded to all roads by 2020, Bilbao was the first European city of more than 300,000 inhabitants to adopt a universal 30 km/h speed limit. Several years on, the results suggest it has delivered broad benefits on safety, public health, travel efficiency, and quality of life.🧵

The carbon budget overspend is growing each year.

TRAM TRACKS, CYCLISTS & CRASHES:
About two-thirds of Sheffield's tram network is on-road, with a lot of cycle crashes as a result.
In search of information regarding solutions to this that have been or are being trialled or implemented elsewhere.
Grateful for retweets to extend reach.

If you look closely you’ll see I didn’t learn to disable noise reduction on long shutter shots so get a slightly dashed effect from the blackout frames. Smoother next time!

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban
We need a TV series called "Adulthood" that's like "Adolescence" but about car culture.
A quick Bluesky survey for UK folk.
Is your local authority still creating Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs)?
Yes Crookes and Walkley LTN was partly implemented. Kelham Island has been implemented.
Not aware of others in the last 2-3 years though one proposed for Darnall has had some work in recent years.
The Sheffield Walking Wheeling and Cycling strategic plan implies lots more at some point…
To what shall we compare AVs?
How about CCS?
An expensive, distant future, unproven (esp at scale) way to preserve the status quo of the industry doing immense harm. But a shiny thing to get govt backing for to help delay other regulation of their profits.

It’s good stuff! How do we square it with his unconditional support for reopening an airport in his constituency, which could be seen as being in the interest of the “wealthy and powerful”?
WE DO NOT COMPLY
Veteran anti-war and human rights activist, Angie Zelter, was removed from Westminster Magistrates Court after attempting to read a statement to the judge instead of pleading to a charge under s.13 of the UK Terrorism Act 2000.
“What if they do work?… That means more journeys, more traffic, more competition for scarce urban space. If you want a picture of the future, imagine an empty car driving aimlessly around looking for somewhere to park, forever.”
