Incredibly disappointed that MPs didn’t get the chance to vote on the Climate and Nature Bill - a crucial piece of legislation to prevent climate breakdown and protect our natural world. But thanks to all those who backed it - I'll keep fighting for urgent climate action #CANBill

Labour MPs ordered to sink landmark climate and environment bill Exclusive: Supporters of bill say Labour has already insisted on removal of clauses requiring UK to meet targets agreed at Cop and other summits

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

A high contrast black and white picture of London. It only shows two buildings. In the foreground a shadowed rectangular building. Behind it is the Shard (the tallest building in western Europe) completely illuminated by the sun. The perspective makes them look as part of a tangram. But in reality the Shard is much larger than the building in the foreground.

Hey @nytimes.com, the 2000s called and they want their old, battered cliche back.

There is little evidence extreme weather events spur political action on climate change Extreme weather events like flooding and wildfires are often cited as evidence of the need to tackle climate change. But do these events lead to real political change? Drawing on a new study coveri…

Do severe climatic events move public opinion?

Apparently, not!

Is this a given or can this be affected by how climate advocates organise? Are there places where it has had a lasting impact?

Screenshot of a Threads post from @swilua.bsky.social giving the following guidance to Bluesky newbies: “Reminder to everyone that Bluesky has no central algorithm! Even the Discover feed is MUCH LESS of an algorithm than you are used to! You need to follow more people than you used to and think differently about how you engage. Replies help! Likes don't matter much! Posts alone won't get you seen! Hashtags can help. Look at the feeds and interact A LOT! When in doubt hang out on my feed, my followers are chatty!!”

This great guidance for #Threads refugees from @swilua.bsky.social.

I also does not help that both Otis’ land John’s landfalls points are in a radar blind spot!

I think we were lucky it moved fast. Had it spent more time over water I could have been even strongest at landfall. Also the track forecasts changed a lot in the last 4 advisories!

Monitoring Tropical Storm John, which could rapidly intensify to a major hurricane before hitting southern Mexico, likely Oaxaca, on Tuesday evening. 30+ inches of rain could cause life-threatening flooding.

Hurricane Otis rapidly intensified to a Cat 5 and struck Acapulco (just west) last year.

This is a graph depicting air pollution (PM2.5 concentrations) in London, UK, from 1850 to 2021. It includes a color-coded scale indicating levels of air quality, ranging from "Extremely Poor" to "Very Good." There's also a white line that shows the same information. The air quality level in London has been gradually getting worse since the start of the Industrial Revolution, improving drastically in the 1970s and continuing to the present day.

This is a graph depicting air pollution (PM2.5 concentrations) in Delhi, India, from 1850 to 2021. It includes a color-coded scale indicating levels of air quality, ranging from "Extremely Poor" to "Very Good." There's also a white line that shows the same information. The air quality was already quite poor since the industrial age, and has gotten significantly worse starting in the 1970s and is now extremely poor.

Behold air quality stripes; like climate stripes, but for the stuff that kills you directly.

The visualization shows how much clean air legislation, moving away from coal, and generally not setting carbon on fire improve air quality and reduce excess deaths.
