Up and up it goes! For the first time in human history, CO2 has averaged over 430 ppm. Off the charts. We are locking in suffering. Time to change habits. Fast.

On Friday, a whole mountain west of Glengarriff was burnt, with a wall of flames visible through the night for miles around. It's pure ecocide, layered on top of ecocide (sheep), and it just beggars belief that this is still going on in the year 2025.

Progress in the 21st century is under threat. The sustainable development goals are now, surely, a pipe dream. How inhuman the wealthiest countries are. And how shortsighted.

Let’s find this footage — I think I have it on VHS (!!) but it has to be ‘out there’. Black and white film. First footage from space. Can’t find it. Pint for anyone who identifies it.

Physics teachers - help please! I think the original 1999 BBC ‘The Planets’ has a clip of one of the first rockets (with a camera) going into space. But I can’t find it. Anyone remember the episode please? Or have another source?

For over a decade, I’ve spoken to whole year groups at school, often on my own, about Sustainability issues, for PSHE. Tomorrow, I see year 11. Here’s a sneak peak of the first two slides. These are getting VERY hard to do.

As the brilliant @petraboynton.bsky.social has pointed out, this piece makes no mention of FRS Elon Musk who is directly responsible for much of the threat science is currently under.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now is political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I was lucky enough to meet Sir John Houghton at Cambridge University Press. Here 25 years ago, he and @georgemonbiot.bsky.social discuss Climate Change as understood in January 2000. Remarkable listen. Ask yourself: what’s changed in our approach today? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

One of the most shocking graphs I've made. Using NASA CERES data, IPCC forcings and very low-, mid- and very high- climate feedbacks multiplied by the NASA GISS temperature trend. If the NASA satellite data is right, the IPCC forcings and feedbacks are likely all wrong More soon
