Given the urgency, which of these climate solutions can you speed up? Could be in your home, workplace, or national policy. Switching to wind and solar and running everything from that renewable electricity seems like the easiest win! #netzero #climatesolutions @myzerocarbon.org

Hard to find words for how angry this makes me. FIFA are a complete disgrace. They should be disbanded and replaced with a new organisation. UEFA should get together with other orgs to disaffiliate and set up a new body with some ethical standards and accountability. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Well, football was the winner there. And England.

Well this match was worth getting/staying up for. Going to be tough to hold on with 10 men.

It's tragically appropriate that we spent a whole generation telling students that the humanities were moribund, and they should all study STEM, only for the greatest innovations in STEM to prove why the humanities were so essential all along.

This evening I attended a showing of the UK climate National Emergency Briefing film at my local Sustainability group Sustainable Didcot. I thought it was a very powerful film and recommend everyone to go and watch it. It explains why climate change is such a monumental issue. (1/3)

"Europe's heatwave linked to 1,300 deaths, WHO says, as Germany hits record 41.7C." 👉🏼 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Don't let climate change deniers like Richard Tice get away with their crap.

Over 50% of cars sold in the UK in May had a battery. So most people aren't opposed to battery powered motoring. That gets us to my newly patented " #BEV inevitably cycle "...

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

🥵Why are so many Europeans/Britons unnecessarily sweating through a heatwave without cooling? Why are portable AC units so crap? The answers are both interesting and maddening. My latest on air conditioning👇 edconway.substack.com/p/the-missin...

Air conditioners are just air-air heat pumps running backwards. We have 10 days of cooling need and 180 of heating in the UK. Potential for huge carbon emissions reductions there, if anyone was thinking ahead. Run the aircon off solar and get lower carbon heating all winter. #netzero

Interesting lecture: Why imagination is necessary for climate understanding and action. #climatescience #netzero @myzerocarbon.org youtu.be/gEUUvl7Ct4o?...

It feels increasingly surreal to be walking around in this heat with so many cars driving by, seemingly not caring that they're the ones contributing to this mess 🥵

I’m not saying the debate in the U.K. has moved to the right, but Ed Miliband is basically seen as Pol Pot for aiming for a climate target first agreed to by…I think Theresa May’s government? Definitely Johnson’s. And this chat is going on during the middle of a record-breaking heatwave

Remember that an air-conditioner is a heat pump unit. If the current heatwave is inspiring you to get one, then get one you can use in the colder times to heat your house when electricity is cheap and low-carbon.

Design and planning matter. Solar over car parks would also help in these situations.

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

Pithily put.

Letter in today's Times by climate scientist Sir Brian Hoskins: "The discourse around net-zero is increasingly decoupled from…science and our changing weather. "Net-zero is not an arbitrary slogan, rather it is dictated by the laws of physics."

Videos from the plenary debates at the 2026 World Inequality Conference are now online! www.youtube.com/@worldinequa...

Reform UK councillors have introduced a motion to rescind King's Lynn and West Norfolk's climate emergency declaration and deprioritise decarbonisation efforts The council were going to vote on it on Thursday But the meeting has been postponed due to extreme heat

Djed Spence, the first Muslim man to play football for England, refused to shake hands with alleged rapist Thomas Partey last night.

Is hydrogen low carbon? It depends, far more than most assume. A new synthesis finds that counting the full lifecycle raises hydrogen’s emissions by ~250%. Best vs worst pathway? Up to 50x difference. Hydrogen’s climate benefits can’t be assumed. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Battery Electric has now won with passenger cars. Over 2/3rds of new car sales in places as diverse as Norway, Ethiopia and Nepal. Next up Battery Electric busses and trucks! Efficiency always wins because people don't like to burn money. #electricfuture #electrification #netzero @myzerocarbon.org

Poor old Octopus Energy. Announcing LOADS of new products and services on the day the PM resigns.

Solar panels earning us something like three quid a day over the Summer, which is nice. But they are also helping to keep the house cool! #solarbenefits

We Brits don't have air conditioning because we didn't need it until now. The best ways to keep cool can be counter-intuitive so we need to learn and fast! theconversation.com/eight-ways-t...

Even the FT recognising Musk's fascist political outlook.

the fridge part of our fridge-freezer stopped working properly in the last heatwave. Massive pain! Turned out it had iced up internally even though it is a frost-free one. Apparently that can happen in a heat wave for a 10 year old unit. Solved by a full defrost!

Comparing coverage of the Belfast and Edinburgh attacks, it seems that if politicians politicise and racialise a crime, then it will get far more attention than a crime that is in itself political and racist but doesn’t serve a political agenda. That’s not a good message

Very curious and tempted by this plug-and-play (balcony) solar idea. But I've had some people tell me its very unsafe and heard others claim its perfectly safe so no idea if it is a good idea really. It's certainly going to be safe 99.99% of the time, but I guess if the 0.01% involves deaths...

Great game for the neutral. Not sure its great for English and Croatians with heart conditions.
