Ignorant, or irresponsible or both? Their kids and grandkids will hold them accountable when they realise the hard way what a huge mistake this is.

Breaking it down by age group makes it even more extraordinary, and distressing, as it’s my age group that are still moving to the right!

Wind power has cut £104bn from UK energy costs since 2010, study finds Reduction comes from energy generated from windfarms and lower cost of gas owing to lower demand

I really hope they are spared the worst

If I could just summarize 1 sentence from the new National Academy of Sciences study on climate, boldface, flashing red, it would be:

"the evidence for current and future harm to human health and welfare created by human-caused GHGs is beyond scientific dispute."

BEYOND SCIENTIFIC DISPUTE
🚨🚨

Bill’s exactly right. 99.9% of climate denial is solution aversion. They don’t want to fix it, but they know that saying “it’s real and serious but I don’t want to fix it” isn’t a great message. So they go with the smoke screen of science denial instead.

September 2025 was the third warmest on record in the Berkeley Earth dataset. But this downplays how anomalous it was; without 2023 and 2024 this year would have been well above any prior records and well above the long-term trend:

A clearly racist MP from a clearly racist political party, that’s all there is to see here.

Most people…I’m not sure that’s proven, a hell of a lot see him as a racist, fraud and con man and someone to not give a moments attention to.

As a scientist I’m not happy this is what we should be saying. I know it doesn’t fit on a banner, but Science gives us the best view of the facts available at the time. Can be wrong, but not once the number and quality of consistent studies is high enough and sufficient time has passed. 🧐

Not so difficult to find some expert opinions and facts to help, has she tried?

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

A dictator in action

most of those males are there to send money back to their families in Asia, and work 6 or 7 days a week. I think some might say we did that in the “good old days” of the industrial revolution with eg Irish men?

Five staples fuelling UK food inflation as climate risks rise, study finds Findings challenge narrative that food price growth is being driven by higher taxes and wage costs

UK food inflation is being driven by climate change-induced extreme weather, driving up price of butter, milk, beef, chocolate & coffee

The price rises in those staples is contributing 40% of overall food inflation

Climate change is hitting peoples' pockets, right now

The oil and gas burnt to drive the AI servers will just make the problem bigger. Humans have the knowledge and brain power to solve this…just, it seems, not the common sense or will…especially the will to collaborate for the common good 🫣

And keeping atmospheric CO2 in check is already becoming harder, as we're running into this: bsky.app/profile/sust...

This graph says it all: instead of starting to go down, the *annual increase* of atmospheric CO2 is setting new records. We're making climate change worse at a record rate.
Turning this around should be our top priority, and it's not.

They don’t know their values. This is a massive problem with our modern politicians. Same for much of the population to be fair…

Much worse. Generally Tech support in cricket umpiring works, second only to Rugby which is a fantastic mix of TV and referee team work for me. So cricket could improve using the whole ump team sometimes and not just one individual.

We've hit a climate tipping point, but leaders seem unlikely to act A report on the state of the climate has concluded coral reefs are on a knife-edge, even as the world shifts away from making good on net zero

This week the WMO confirmed the 2024 atmospheric CO2 level and annual rise data. You may have seen headlines about it setting new records and concern about the planet’s ability to absorb our emissions. Here is why we should be extremely worried 👇🧵

The National Emergency Briefing will feature Prof Tim Lenton who'll cover the grave threat posed by #AMOC collapse.

Don’t get me wrong I fully agree. I just think getting the media messages and awareness of population and politicians to the right place is a step by step process from where we are now.

and in some parts of our world, entire cities and more or less entire countries

Not a plan really either. Just a list of hopes.
