The Ed Miliband hate-fest in the UK press continued last year. Predominantly right-wing newspapers published an incredible 112 editorials attacking the energy secretary. That's two editorials a week, and more than twice as many as 2024, calling him a "crazed" "zealot" suffering with “eco insanity”

UPDATE: We have revamped the Global South Climate Database 🎉 I'm super excited to announce this huge update, which makes the database even quicker and easier to use. (Also prettier ✨) Please check it out to find brilliant climate experts from the global south 🌏 🔗 bit.ly/GSClimateDatabase 1/4

Today's @carbonbrief.org Daily Briefing factchecks the false climate claims in Donald Trump's tirade to the UN www.carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/...

New – Warming due to tropical deforestation linked to 28,000 ‘excess’ deaths per year ✍️ @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org w/ comment from Dr Carly Reddington, Dr Nicolas Wolff, Dr Luke Parsons, Dr Vikki Thompson 🔗 Read here: buff.ly/e6ll2uM

Huge thanks to the dozens of climate scientists who sent us their rebuttals to the catalogue of outright falsehoods and misleading claims in Trump's new 'critical' climate report. This factcheck is the longest article CB has ever published - 27,500 words already and likely to keep growing...

NEW – Factcheck: Trump’s climate report includes more than 100 false or misleading claims | @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org @leohickman.carbonbrief.org @ceciliakeating.carbonbrief.org @rtmcswee.carbonbrief.org @tomoprater.carbonbrief.org Read here: buff.ly/AvcB7Aw

NEW ANALYSIS - English neighbourhoods that are home to the most minority-ethnic people are 15 times more likely to face extreme heat than the least diverse areas. Heatwaves are getting more severe – but the effects of rising temperatures are not being felt equally... ➡️ buff.ly/boWI6M1

🌊 Did you see the coverage last week of the paper led by Chris Stokes about long-term sea level rise from polar ice sheets? It took me a while (cos, y'know, feelings), but here's my take on it: ▶️ youtu.be/sa9h_zVM1RY

Will you live an unprecedented life? In our new paper in @nature.com and accompanying @savethechildren.org report, we detect who will face unprecedented lifetime exposure to climate extremes (🧵) 1/n Report: resourcecentre.savethechildren.net/document/bor... Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Two important attribution studies were published today. I covered both for @carbonbrief.org 1️⃣ Shows that heat/drought extremes are overwhelmingly caused by the wealthiest 10%: buff.ly/0Se78bM 2️⃣ Finds that younger generations will face "unprecedented exposure" to climate extremes: buff.ly/Qxw80Un

It’s been a bit of a grim week hasn’t it? But grateful for this expert summary of the biggest issues in climate right now by my colleagues @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org and @ceciliakeating.carbonbrief.org from EGU in Vienna

At #EGU25 in Vienna for the first time with the brilliant ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org 👋 Come say hi or drop me a line - keen to hear what you're working on for @carbonbrief.org

Back in sunny Vienna for #EGU25! @ceciliakeating.carbonbrief.org and I are in the hunt for exciting new science stories for @carbonbrief.org, so please do come and say hi if you see us 👋

Voting is likely the most significant act an individual (living in a democracy) can do re: reducing emissions. Discuss.

Keir Starmer said on his way to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting that he's focused on climate change, not reparations. Thats's what Pacific & Caribbean nations care about, he said. So how's the UK doing on giving climate finance to those countries? Not great, by the look of it...
