"Even if we add nearly 150 million electric cars to the road by 2040, if SUV ownership grows at its current rate, they’ll offset that entire emissions reduction. And while they’re spewing emissions, they also have a more tangible cost: They’re more likely than smaller cars to kill pedestrians, contributing to a steep rise in pedestrian deaths."

Over the last decade, global SUV ownership has doubled. If it keeps growing at its current rate, increased SUV ownership will offset the entire emissions reduction from electric vehicles. Plus they’re much more likely than smaller cars to kill pedestrians.

Workplace ED&I ('DEI' as it is called in some other parts of the world) is ultimately about who we are and whom we love. A working culture that either implicitly or explicitly denies one of both of those is broken.

I never thought, when I trained or worked as a GP, that Diphtheria and Polio or, to a large extent, measles, would again be things that I might have to recognise. Nor would I have believed that malnutrition on a scale currently seen would be tolerated by society. I was wrong - how quickly are the hard-fought gains lost.

I envy the people who can watch tv shows & movies and NOT think about the unrealistic depictions of the kinds of apartments or detached homes that people would really be able to afford in the cities they’re in, based on the jobs and likely salaries they have. #cities #AffordabilityCrisis #MoreHomesNeeded

@BrentToderian A lot of people don’t know better and/or have limited options to change their commute. Are there campaigns in the cities and suburbs to educate about alternatives?

God will never give you more than you can handle, unless you were born in the wrong place or don't have money. That makes God super mad.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.

This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

After dumping #Helsinki’s car-centric 1968 plan, the #Finns embarked on a decades-long campaign to slow motor vehicles. “In the 1970s it was normally 50km/h in cities; then in 2000 it went down to 40km/h. Now more than half our urban streets have a 30km/h limit.”

On bad Friday we have refurbished our two iphones for 150€ (2 batteries, 1 screen), thus avoiding wastage. Remember not to renew electronic devices before 5-7 years of use. #sufficiency

#introduction Hi everyone. I'm a climate and environment editor at The Conversation, U.S. I'm looking forward to learning about all the amazing research underway in #climate and #earthscience, plus new ideas in climate economics, policy, and much more. Big fan of #dataviz.
