Rice and wheat, two of the most crucial food staples worldwide, have experienced a significant decline in nutritional quality over the past 50 years.
The essential mineral concentration in rice has decreased by 36%, while in wheat, it has dropped by 57%.
At the same time, toxic elements like aluminum have increased by as much as 78%.
This deficiency in nutritional quality, coupled with elevated concentrations of toxic elements, lies at the heart of the overfed yet undernourished paradox.

Global poverty is commonly measured by counting the number of people whose consumption falls below a given threshold.
This approach overlooks an enormous component of people’s economic well-being: public goods. 🧵

Furthermore, we know we could do it with technologies we already have that keep following the learning curve they've shown they are following for decades.
This is not "pie in the sky" but "business as usual".
Renewable energy could take us all the way.

FINALLY!
Our paper on 100%RE is out!
It traces the history and fast growth of the scientific field that models 100% renewable energy: no fossil or nuclear needed.
Hundreds of peer reviewed studies now claim 100%RE is possible worldwide against low cost!

The first Global Stocktake is unequivocal: we are not on course to meet the objectives of the #ParisAgreement
To get back on track, we need to urgently scale up climate finance to help emerging and vulnerable countries transition and adapt. 1/5

...Does the COP get redesigned for this new purpose to support implementation? Does it stay as a multilateral negotiating process? Or do you bring both of these together in a new way that honestly, cannot be what we have now.
What do you think? [5/5]
I just endorsed the campaign for a #FossilFuelTreaty — calling for a new international mechanism to manage a global just transition.

Today I listened to a fascinating @YaleClimateComm webinar on "deep canvassing" — a form of persuasion based on not just personalizing an issue, but really listening to your interlocutor and validating all the ways they *want* to do the right thing.
This slide👇blew my mind.

Eight years ago, the world united to adopt the #ParisAgreement to address the climate crisis, but our task isn't finished🌍
This year at COP28 the #GlobalStocktake will be an opportunity to accelerate our efforts at a pace and scale not seen before and is a chance for our leaders to correct course.

The result is that animal husbandry (Veeteelt) gets most of the subsidies and causes most of the problems but still provides the lowest net income compared to horticulture (Tuinbouw) and arable farming (Akkerbouw).
Let's switch from animal husbandry to more profitable land use!

UK govt says new North Sea licenses wld boost energy security – but at most they'd raise supply by 18TWh/yr
Yet UK govt also "cut the green crap" since 2013 – blocking onshore wind, ending solar support, failing to insulate homes etc – raising gas demand by 73TWh/yr

UK new houses are “rubbish” - poorly built, nightmare for buyers but great for profits of construction industry that provide at least 10pc of Tory party donations. How did this happen? My colleague @ollywainwright finds horror stories are common theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

And here's @CarbonBrief's Q&A about Sunak's net-zero u-turns announced in that 20 Sept speech
It now looks likely as if the ongoing legal actions by @GoodLawProject and @ChrisGPackham will be the only way to force this analysis out of the govt
