@andyheald @WoollyMaggot @lwhemmings This is green washing. Really strange that the RSPB have such a close relationship with the concrete industry (responsible for 8% global carbon emissions) when they are members of the Climate Coalition.

@DavidTaylorNZ Good luck in your new role. Lots of wood in Sweden!

RT @Rainmaker1973: In Gujarat, India, a project launched in 2012 is aimed to use the 532 km long network of Narmada canals across the state for installing solar panels & generate electricity. A solution that saves land, reduces evaporative losses & keeps solar panels cooler https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200803-the-solar-canals-revolutionising-indias-renewable-energy https://t.co/FQ6lakw0us

@colvilleandersn You lift them during the day to reveal a stream running under the hotel but close them at night so that the noise of the running water doesn’t keep guests awake or sleepwalkers fall in and drown?

@Minette_Batters @annietrev At least 50% of the farmers in your constituency are members of the NFU. And the NFU don’t rate the trade deal as anywhere near as good for British farmers as you do.

Persimmon joins £70m investment into modular housebuilder TopHat whose homes are capable of being zero-carbon, achieved through the building fabric used [wood] and low-carbon technologies, such as solar panels & battery storage. @TimberDevUK @CEIBois https://www.building.co.uk/news/persimmon-joins-70m-investment-into-modular-housebuilder-tophat/5122878.article#.ZHb-mrYdaDE.twitter

@dcullenward @CarbonMrktWatch @CarbonRemovalAU @CaliforniaEPA We are aiming for net zero by 2050 i.e. in 27 years time. We can store an increasingly large amount of carbon in timber in the built environment for at least that length of time, if not for 50, 75 plus years. And then recycle it. Why are you opposing it? https://www.prweb.com/releases/2022/9/prweb18906508.htm

@dcullenward @CarbonMrktWatch @CarbonRemovalAU @CaliforniaEPA Temperature stabilisation depends on reducing GHG emissions and increasing removals. Both are necessary. Both have to happen now and on as big a scale as possible. Carbon removal & storage in products is one of many necessary actions. Carbon Market Watch are wrong to oppose.

@GreyBearLtd Curious. Spraying them with what? And why? Thanks.

By only supporting permanent removals (which we haven't mastered yet) Carbon Market Watch are failing to recognise the significant role long term carbon storage in products can already achieve https://blog.foster.uw.edu/aureus-earth-uw-carbon-offset-mass-timber-building/ #removals #CarbonRemovals @woelken

@CarbonMrktWatch @dcullenward @CarbonRemovalAU @CaliforniaEPA Clearly the longer the better but the 2050 net zero target is very close so even 'only' 30 years of storage helps. Thirty years plus from now we will hopefully have CCS & BECCS which can then take over from those products that have stored carbon for 30, 40, 50, 75, 100 years plus

You're wrong. Removing carbon from the atmosphere for 50, 75, 100 years while not permanent is still desperately needed & should be supported via gold standard offsetting schemes as suggested by the Commission. It's started in the USA & is coming to Europe https://blog.foster.uw.edu/aureus-earth-uw-carbon-offset-mass-timber-building/

We developed this guide — which includes 8 case studies based on @WorldBank projects — to help project developers assess and articulate the value of NBS across different sectors. https://wrld.bg/prIC50Ox9xm https://t.co/PDAuN4kVOZ

@angus_young61 @greenbeltnagger They are also likely to have a relatively poor level of insulation. And why not build to a higher density hence using less land?
