Thought someone was having a bonfire but apparently the smoke from the wildfires on the North York Moors has reached us here in York. Blimey.

Invest in US fossil fuels - a new strand in the strategy to decarbonise Europe? Not like 1.5C is already blown or anything…
Texas right now: 32% solar, 23% wind.
With nuclear, that's 61.6% zero-carbon right now, in Texas.

"The findings could also mean that the land carbon sink – which normally removes billions of tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year and is essential for meeting climate targets – is weakening decades earlier than expected"

@lzdarkmatter.bsky.social - onwards and upwards into entirely new and unexplored parameter space in the hunt for WIMP dark matter!
Well done all, and special shout out to @ucl.ac.uk’s Dr Amy Cottle and @umich.edu’s Scott Haselschwardt, who led this search.

New one (for me) at conference this morning: mainstream economist in the audience said that climate adaptation should be done by mass migration to northern regions that "benefit" from climate impacts. 
Readers: I fucking lost it.
💀😡💀😡💀😡💀😡💀
Made it into town ready for this, tomorrow: www.cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/quant... 
Looking forward to talking Dark Matter, seeing colleagues, and my first Cheltenham Festival visit!
