Glad someone else has noticed this. It’s definitely “a thing” . www.ft.com/content/e736...

With signs in extended forecast modelling of a new heatwave pattern emerging across western Europe during the mid-stages of July, I can see high potential for another record-challenging run of hot weather. It's not a certainty, but it's worth being prepared for that possibility.

@ketanjoshi.co Great to see you’re here but sorry abt the timing… 🫠🫠 🥵

Hugely relevant as we hit another hot period next week. More guidance needed to protect students and staff.

@greenschools.bsky.social this is a good ask to take into schools

Our new analysis of Europe’s largest banks has found progress on climate has ground to a standstill, and in some cases, reversed As environmental and social risks rise, banks’ responses are still falling short: the average score across the 25 banks was 41%🔽 shareaction.org/reports/in-d... 🧵1

This FT article’s charts are pretty horrifying as well. on.ft.com/4oRaHET

@garyseconomics.bsky.social . Have you come across? yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

This makes for disturbing reading not least as this is someone simply asking a legitimate question at AGM. No protesting, no disruption. And worse, the IR team at the very least would know who they are - and in some cases, have been in dialogue for years.

I just learned that the entire press team at the FDA was fired last week. The *entire* press team. It's difficult to grasp how bizarre this is. To wrap my brain around the idea, I made a list of things the FDA is responsible for, and that reporters now have no one at the agency to ask about... 🧪🛟

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism? Here is an answer: Good Things. Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine. Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it. The more we build community, the less it can take root. 🧵

Yet again, France ahead of the UK but what a worthwhile initiative for US researchers👇

NEW: A moment in Munich. Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.” He ends hoping for peace. A long, standing ovation. What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.

Successful rollout of solar panels could lift 1.2 million people in UK out of fuel poverty, & help decarbonise the UK’s electricity system In fuel-poor households savings from rooftop solar panels could reduce energy bills by 24% say @resfoundation.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For 90 mins away from the world, wld recommend #Titanique. Mad, bonkers fun, amazing singing. Deserved to be full. Loved it! 💙

Very much worth a watch if you have not yet seen the PM’s brief and moving speech to Americans and Canadians. “From the beaches of Normandy …to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours. We're always there, standing with you."

You can say, “gravity isn’t real,” but if you step off the cliff, you’re still going down. And if you convince other people it’s not real, you are responsible for what happens if they make decisions based on the information you withheld.
