Around 20 fewer flights a year (most were for work), stopped eating beef / lamb and drinking milk, buying no new clothes or technology (have had the same phone and computer for over 5 years) and I don’t have a car. Oh and I give talks and tweet to raise awareness. Anyone else?
@DrEmilyGrossman Still waiting to hear what you are cutting out of your massively fossil-fueled life (apart from one or two less flights per year which will have no noticeable impact on anything). Come on, walk the walk instead of just the usual talking the talk. That's leadership.

@BBCr4today You just called the #climateemergency ‘so-called’. Why? How? 98% of the world’s scientists have confirmed we are in a life-threatening crisis now which needs to be dealt with urgently. Why is it ‘so-called’.???? #BBCtellthetruth

My dad’s letter in The Times today about the #BlackLivesMatter demo he attended in London, expressing his disappointment that Boris focused on the “thuggery”, ignored the feelings behind the demonstration, and offered no understanding of the concerns expressed by POCs. 👏👏👏✊🏾

ESSENTIAL READING: Finally, a mainstream article clearly laying out the travesty of government dragging its feet and not listening to experts re recommending Vitamin D to prevent deaths from Covid. Please take 4000 IU / day* and tell everyone you know.

GREAT NEWS! New data confirm there’s NO REDUCTION IN PROTECTION from delaying the second dose of the Oxford-AZ vaccine for 90 days. Woo hoo! AND there’s a whopping 67% REDUCTION IN TRANSMISSION of the virus by those vaccinated too!!! Go team science!!

Whilst individual action is not enough to avert catastrophic damage to our planet, we all still need to do what we can - if only to send a signal to governments that we are willing to make changes to our lives. In this podcast we discuss the most effective changes YOU can make.

Really important that we realise that we CAN make a difference. We now need urgent radical action to get these curves down further. Carbon zero 2050 still only gives us a ~50% chance of staying below 1.5C. We need to get there much sooner. We have the WAY, do we have the WILL?

#climatechange science has made a huge difference. No longer are we predicting 5 deg warming as policies have slowed carbon emissions. Next challenge is to have policies to get to net zero by 2050. Given our past geopolitical success we could do it!

And another: “Ambulances with Covid patients seen queuing outside London hospitals as 'heartbreaking' pressure on NHS rises.” Photo and social media footage show ambulances queuing outside the Royal London Hospital with patients being treated inside them.

Dr Mike Henley @trentconsultant : “I’ve been a hospital doctor for 30 years.This is an order of magnitude worse than other yrs. NHS is close to not being able to provide ICU care because there are too many sick.Hospitals struggling to provide enough basics like oxygen. It’s real.”

Still don’t believe NHS London is at breaking point? On 26th Dec, London Ambulance Service received as many emergency calls as it did at the height of the first wave of Covid-19. Nearly 8,000 calls were received, a 40% increase on a typical "busy" day.
