This weekend, Britain may be about to have its worst traffic jam ever. Up to five hours of delay for 100,000 drivers or more. Would you believe me if I told you the reason is because Britain's most hated motorway is too good? Or that someone had a semi-secret plan to fix that🧵

A common confusion is that to decarbonise, the world will need to produce the equivalent of coal, oil & gas in the form of low-carbon energy. That's not true. Most fossil energy gets wasted. In the US, just one-third gets turned into useful services. The rest is wasted as heat.

In Paris, owners of big, heavy cars will have to pay extra to park. Deputy Mayor: “There are no dirt paths , no mountain roads … SUVs are absolutely useless in Paris. Worse, they are dangerous, cumbersome and use too many resources to manufacture." theguardian.com/world/2023/jul…

One of the greatest achievements of the fossil 🚗 car system is convincing business owners & parts of the public that parking spaces lead to more revenue. The opposite is true 👇👇

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…

Incredible new! The Fluency team are so good. Generating and aggregating data is easy, but spotting what's interesting and knowing what to do with it is the hard bit and I've never worked with anyone better at doing it.

Thank you @BBCRosAtkins as ever for being one of the very rare UK journalists to show UK has far fewer asylum applications than big EU countries👇 Most UK media never point this out, fanning the "they're all coming here" hysteria behind Sunak and Braverman's hateful policies

Been standing at this bus stop in Ormeau for 30 mins, 5 buses times have appeared so far and none of the buses showed up. No matter how early I leave the house, I have never made it on time to work over the last week @Translink_NI
