@alchap.bsky.social hi Alex, could you please contact me via foesoton@gmail.com? To do with some airport stats we'd like to check in advance of potentially losing many trees. Thanks :)

Emergency action - Please call on your MP to speak out against new subsidies for Drax’s tree burning at crucial vote on June 2nd At 6pm on the 2nd of June, a committee of 17 MPs will vote on whether to grant huge new subsidies to the UK’s single largest carbon emitter and the world’s biggest tree burner, Drax. Drax already ...

I’ve just written a letter to my MP asking them to speak out against legislation being passed to hand BILLIONS more to Drax. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/emer...

We have officially advised our university to ditch carbon offsets – and focus on cutting emissions Your organisation should probably ditch offsets too.

"We found no evidence that offsetting could make a meaningful contribution to our efforts to get to net zero"

@jamesgyke.bsky.social @coxypm.bsky.social & Jamie Shutler say organisations - including our university - should ditch carbon offsets and focus on cutting emissions

a chart showing Drax's emissions relative to other large industry

Drax emitted 4x UK's last remaining coal-fired power station last year - and hoovered up half a billion in subsidies for doing so.

Burning trees for power is obscene and holy hell should the people perpetrating this fraud be in the actual slammer

chevorn isn't storing enough

I also updated my ongoing data tracker for Gorgon, a huge CCS project in Western Australia that stores the carbon captured when Chevron extracts gas

It's a HUGE failure, storing nowhere near targets, let alone the op emissions of the site. Their punishment: buying a bunch of shitty offsets.
