Sustainability, Conformity Assessment, Renewable Energies, ESG are my main thing but supporting others with climate change (Kirklees Climate Commission) is another. Love photography and sub-aqua.

It did for me. I only read Diver magazines as a child and diver manuals and then books about the sea and oceans and then all sort! Some years later it is an eclectic mix.

Why read books? Because there's a book for EVERYONE out there. And once you find the right book - reading will change your life forever! #literacy

Thank you, I am surprised we can’t share that data, it would be really good to do so @metoffice.bsky.social

Do we know why England and Wales are white, which I assume means no data? Or is this just so low, it doesn’t register?

My brother in law dived into shallow water when he was stoned. He has been suffering from paraplegia for 9 years now.

Solar mandate for new-build housing β€˜set for green light' - edie The UK Government is reportedly set to finalise rules mandating that up to 99% of new-build homes are fitted with rooftop solar panels from 2027.

This has taken its time coming! We proposed this in 2004 for the introduction of the Part L Building Regulations. While they were more expensive then it would have driven down cost quicker and developers wanted level playing field. Why wait for 2027? www.edie.net/solar-mandat...

Well, that is a beautiful end to the week. Earlier today, I posted about some reassuring and comforting lines in Elif Shafak's brilliant book "There are Rivers in the Sky". Then I got to the end & found she found my book Blue Machine helpful for research. Books are awesome.

@alexverbeek.bsky.social I are heading over to the Netherlands next week for a few days in Amsterdam before driving over to Berlin and then back via Rotterdam. Haven’t been to Amsterdam for probably 50years. Any thought on where to go that is great but not in the guide books? Nice to say hi f2f.

@bbclooknorth.bsky.social your article on heat pumps and Greener Living going bust didn’t mention the Warranty Back Scheme that should cover the installation if the work was carried out through the government scheme!

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably stick to Tesla SC on this trip, too many other things to think about this time.

Thanks for the tips. To subscribe or not is the question given it a Tesla and the network seems comprehensiveπŸ€” Any thoughts?

Is there a way to have a translation of the whole thread?

My very poor Spanish, which is improving daily, I hope, makes me want to read the whole thread but not one block at a time, guessing or having to work out some of the meaning.

Get well soon! But I hope you have the evidence-base for it being a male virus that is attacking you! Are viruses male, female or can they be bothπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Whatever, hope it isn’t messing up your day too much.

This is powerful, I come from a similar historical background and could feel every word vibrant in my body reading it.

Is that like: β€œdon’t do as I say, do as I do” (third party). It won’t wash unfortunately for those they don’t like.

Is that quote from Silent Spring? I have never heard of Rachel Carson, and as a person interested in the sea and followed the likes of Jacque Cousteau from a very young age, lived on the coast, was into the environment, it surprised me. More reading to do! Thanks. @helenczerski.bsky.social

Just think what this could start. Land trading as never seen before and who cares about the people, animals and biodiversity that lives thereπŸ«£πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Has anyone considered what Putin/Trump discussions on Ukraine were really about? Would be really interesting to hear what was actually said in phone call! US Wheat and other agri products, Russian? Share and control the world?

As for climate mitigation and adaptation? I feel disillusioned
