Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

Corporations killing us for profit. Excess pollution emitted as a result of the Dieselgate scandal killed 16,000 people in the UK. Vehicle pollution tests were rigged. 124,000 early deaths in UK+EU. Economic damage of €760bn (£637bn). Rise in asthma. Anyone prosecuted for manslaughter?

Environmentalists (1980s): Climate Change from fossil fuels will make the planet uninhabitable. We must use energy efficiently & stop using fossil fuels. Tech Companies (2020s): Great! Let's invent something that no-one needs, that puts millions out of work, and uses a massive amount of energy.

This is phenomenal. Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment. It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

Seeing an odd collection of Labour tribalists on Bluesky lately insisting that, despite appearances, UK Labour is doing wondrous things and insisting that people are either not seeing them or being impatient. This from George Monbiot seems like a good summary of how that is, frankly, nonsense.

This government is dedicated to concreting over large areas of countryside with houses that are probably not going to be fit for purpose.

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

The plots of disaster movies that portray the end of civilization often begin with high-level Government Officials ignoring the warnings of Scientists. One of several lesson learned from the 2.5 hour @Netflix Documentary — Don’t Look Up (2021).

The dismissal of National Climate Assessment authors this week and notice that its scope is being "reevaluated" leaves the door open to a compromised report serving fossil fuel interests at the cost of American communities. I talked to John Vause about this concern on CNN International last night.
