Shades of The Road the 2006 post-apocalyptic novel by American writer Cormac McCarthy.
RT @MikeHudema: Due to hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires across Canada, New York City looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape.

If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it.

@CuppleditchHelz @JohnnyM05000440 @RoryStewartUK The new forest at Doddington in Northumberland is a commercial forest but the planting is a good mix and already the biodiversity indicators are positive.

@JohnnyM05000440 @RoryStewartUK No tree can absorb CO2 faster than the Sitka, it is a true climate champion. It also produces timber which can store carbon in the built environment & substitute for fossil fuel derived steel & concrete. Sure not all our trees should be Sitka, only half of them.

@CEMBUREAU So you will be discussing nature-based materials including wood then?

RT @TimberDevUK: 'Forest is not carbon storage, cities are. Going from forest to timber construction we can store long term and monetise this carbon,' says Stefan of Timber Finance Initiative. 'It is scalable, provides sequestration, substitution, and storage - and can be applied now.'

RT @andyheald: @PaulBrannenNE @pholmgren @Stockholm_Uni @sthlmresilience @sfs_officiell I’m sure the new @JamesHuttonInst faculty will be an exemplar of low carbon timber construction for research facilities.

RT @TimberDevUK: 'Timber is wildly more efficient than any carbon capture and storage system, and always will be,' says Prof Michael Ramage @FootprintPlus. We need to use more timber, and use the timber we harvest in long term construction products, 'but we can do this, it's not that hard!'.

@pholmgren @Stockholm_Uni @sthlmresilience Collective cognitive campus dissonance? If I was a student there I'd have occupied the construction site. Better still stopped it dead at the planning stage. Students should boycott universities that persist in building concrete & steel mausoleums. @Stockholm_Uni @sfs_officiell

Asia's largest wooden building opens in Singapore.
If a tree is turned into engineered timber, its embodied carbon is sequestered, locked in, rather than returned to the atmosphere. 1 cubic meter of wood can store about a ton of carbon dioxide @CEIBois

@CarbonMrktWatch That's correct - we need to get the process to work, to avoid greenwashing etc. But that's not what you just did in the EU Parliament where you simply opposed the storage of carbon in products outright.

Looking forward to working with a small group of MBA students at Newcastle University Business School on a business idea for a nature-based insulation that can also store a high level of carbon. It's a very international group - China, Iran, Japan, Nigeria & UK. @UniofNewcastle

@SherwoodProjec1 Indeed. Surprising how many people have no comprehension of this fact.

@MathewsFiona One very specific reason for planting trees is to grow timber to use in construction to replace concrete which is responsible for 8% global carbon emissions. The timber also goes on storing carbon even after it is felled. Meanwhile new tree planting sequesters more carbon.

@HabitaresLtd @pau1_br0wn @RishiSunak It was his mum's idea. It's to give the impression he's still growing.
