Today I joined other MPs, Peers & charities led by @_MCS_Foundation urging Govt to ensure solar PV is mandated for all new build homes
We should not be building new homes that immediately need retrofitting - a waste of time and money.
Read the letter: mcsfoundation.org.uk/news/mp…
🏘️ Ensuring all homes are built to the most efficient low-carbon standards would drastically bring down bills AND emissions.
Green MPs are among those calling on the Government to bring in a ‘future homes standard’ to stop households being locked into higher bills and emissions.

Today it is the UK's turn to experience serious flooding due to intense rainfall.
A reminder that UK rainfall intensity has increased markedly over the past 60+ years. All consistent with the physics of a warming atmosphere which is now more humid.

🚨New paper!🚨
We present evidence that the Lateglacial lake in the Magellan Strait was dammed by rapid GIA uplift after deglaciation rather than a 100 km glacier re-advance during the ACR
Really happy to be involved in this project led by Bob McCulloch

The world of paleontology lost Euan Clarkson today.
Absolute legend. The guy who wrote the undergrad textbook I used. And who later welcomed me @GeosciencesEd to continue the legacy he built here.
Expert on trilobites. Friend and mentor to many. One of Scotland's finest. RIP!

Could you maybe use the name and photo of the woman - a prominent KC who has very active in civic Scotland - that has been appointed the Advocate General for Scotland rather than the name and photo of her father?

Hugely skilled and accomplished woman gets a good job. The headline? Doesn’t use her name. Only uses her (deceased) male relative’s name. And the photo? That’s of him too.

The backer of GB News wants to take charge of the Daily Telegraph to expand his influence still further: please retweet if you would regard this as totally unacceptable.
