Everybody knows people in big cities drive less in daily life.
But did you know they have more emissions from *air travel*? [and yes, that's controlling for income, etc]. Why is that?

Can't stop thinking about this. The UK Government have just published a report which puts a positive cultural spin *on the slave trade*

#climatetwitter help! I'm trying to use the figures presented by @KevinClimate to @ScotClimateCA youtube.com/watch?v=3jLK_K-L…, but the maths doesn't add up. 10% reduction per year over 9 years is not -75% by 2030, whether you take it linearly (-90%) or exponentially (-61%).

DfT figures indicate 70% of UK flights are taken by 15% of the population. 50% of UK residents don't fly in any one year. 20% of the UK population has never flown. More than 80% of people worldwide have never flown... 3/

A huge thank you from the whole @HuttonSEGS research team to all of the @CCFScot case studies and contacts at @KSBScotland who made this research possible. We literally couldn't have done it without your patience, interest and good will.

I'm delighted that our report was released last week during @KSBScotland's #CCFGathering. We took a deep look at @CCFScot projects' many #ClimateChangeEngagement impacts and how to support them. Hopefully of broad policy interest to @ScotGovClimate @GreenerScotland @ScotCCAN
