It hurt when I crashed my bike into a pothole – and it taught me the true price of austerity | George Monbiot Fixing that hole could have cost under £100; the cost of not doing so is limitless. My prang highlights the neoliberal folly of false economies, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The maximum global mean surface temperature (GMST) was 15.48°C for the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period. In other words, the GMST never broke 15.50°C.

This graphic shows the number of times per year the GMST broke 15.50°C, from 1940 to 2024.

2025 is at 149 and counting.

The Tories lost their minds, the plot and everything else when they went all-in on Brexit.
