Distressing news from the US today: 880 NOAA staff fired. From a polar bear perspective, NOAA data is used extensively in analyses. Impacts of losing this expertise is hard to fathom. Short-sighted & a mistake. www.bbc.com/news/article... @zacklabe.com has provided incredibly valuable insights.

A whale-watching crew in California captured video of a "superpod" of about 2,000 dolphins swimming off the coast. So many the water looked "like it was boiling," a boat captain with the crew said. nyti.ms/4ki1Fy7

This morning @margothodson.bsky.social and I are teaching a group of 20 people from Oxford Diocese. I started with an update on the environmental crisis, and then Margot looked at Biblical Theology. This afternoon the diocese environmental staff will explain what we can do about the problems.

I didn't have January as the warmest ever on my 2025 bingo card. Honestly, it's a bit shocking with La Nina present in the Pacific. I wouldn't expect monthly records to keep happening this year but still. Wow.

Building homes in flood risk zones is crazy. Climate change is exacerbating the risk and it will cause stress and misery to those living in them and massive cost to government and taxpayers long-term. @ollyglover.bsky.social

This January should be cooler because of La Nina. Instead it's the warmest on record. Why is this not top news?

Brilliant #tftd on @bbcradio4.bsky.social with Michael Banner from Trinity Cambridge. In thinking about growth, research on famines shows that the problem is not supply but fair distribution. That is the greater challenge.

Even ignoring all the fuel used by the military (e.g., watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/f...) commercial aviation is now using 100 billion gallons of fuel a year (www.statista.com/statistics/6...). Nobody's going to produce even a useful fraction of that in "sustainable" aviation fuel

Yesterday was Plough Sunday and it’s great to celebrate the important work of our farmers. But there are better methods than ploughing, and we need the church to support farmers to farm sustainably. See our new resources. www.operationnoah.org/new-resource...

Very interesting that the Telegraph have published this. It would be great if CCS could be dropped in favour of renewable and battery technology. CCS is years away from being effective and only prolongs dependence on fossil fuels. Getting an abacus rather than a calculator indeed.
