The “grassroots” backlash to a traffic reduction scheme in Oxfordshire is being boosted by an international network of established climate and Covid science deniers and amplified by right-wing media, #DeSmog reports.

It turns out that the introduction of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) reduce air pollution to surrounding streets as well.

Hello! Thought it was time to do an intro.

I mainly use micro-blogging sites to while away the time waiting for something to run, build or deploy in my day job.

I like best scrolling positive content about good things like #rewilding, #trafficReduction and #cycling cool #science stuff, #music and #funnies

When I post it tends to be about the same subjects or my thoughts on some #philosophical or #political question. I try to avoid negativity if possible.

Glad to be here.
