Please boost this! I know on Mastodon we are preaching to the converted, talking amongst ourselves, etc. But perhaps we still need reminding to support those politicians in a position to get Net Zero done. Whatever the failings of Labour in UK (I know many on here are sceptical of Burnham), they're in power for now and need support for green agenda.

‘Act on the evidence outside the window’: Andy Burnham urged to stick to net zero targets if he becomes PM

Burnham is coming under pressure from some to ditch net zero targets but this could be highly damaging on many levels

For anyone interested in my latest trip to Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen, including lots of beer bars, breweries, coffee, museums, trains, a ferry, and running with halfminds, here it is:

@ZackPolanski This sort of talk doesn't make me want to vote for your party. Exaggeration, over-simplification of complex issues, lack of respect for opponents. You sound like Boris Johnson. We can probably all safely call Trump a liar, but let's not cheapen politics further with more name-calling. I'm sticking with Ed for now.

Sippin’ a beer in the sun, on my way to Copenhagen, looking back on Oslo… Life can be good sometimes!

I've been going #flightfree since 2019. It has been difficult to maintain at times and I am realistic enough to know I will not be able to maintain this indefinitely. In the meantime, trains are great! Usually...

Enthusiasts from Back-on-Track.eu gathered connection data from the 205 regular sleeper lines in Europe to present their 2026 interactive European night train map. This map is the most comprehensive and up to date guide to night trains in Europe...

Heading North!
All packed again, and back on the rails, all the way up North to Scandinavia this time! To get there would take me two Deutsche Bahn ICEs—what could possibly go wrong?—and for the very first time an SJ EuroNight sleeper train.

SJ gave me quite a fright today, with a mail and text message (no app notification though?) about my upcoming Hamburg-Stockholm train trip being rebooked and my breakfast cancelled!
Turns out quite well in the end: my sleeper train—breakfast still included—will arrive in Göteborg later, so I can sleep in, and the mentioned cancelled breakfast was the (2nd) one on the rebooked connecting train, simply because they don’t serve breakfast after 11AM…

@urlyman I often get this when I suggest we should all fly less (or not at all). People say the government should act, while refusing to change their own lives, and think that using air con will solve all issues. Government needs to see people are willing to change before they'll do anything, and they need to be pressured from all sides. It's worked in the past, so I try not to despair!
