OFFICIAL from @noaa.gov today: March blew the cover off the record books here in the U.S. ❗️Average temperature: 9.4° ABOVE the 20th century normal ❗️First time ANY month exceeded 9°F above average ❗️This was the ALL-TIME WARMEST March in the 132-year record A quick 🧵

Dear US. You have to stop him.

In farmland that's rewilding back to natural rainforest, even the base of an old dead blackthorn stem is thickly cloaked in filmy ferns and mosses. The levels of diversity developing here are just astonishing.

New study finds the "canary in the coal mine" for the #AMOC: a consistent decline of the western overturning circulation, down from 20 to 15 Sv during 2004-2023 at 26° N. 🌊 AMOC "could be at or near a critical tipping point, potentially leading to its collapse". www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This is bad, but also, "laughs in Missoula"

If you havent seen this, make sure you read.

Still safer than having supersized pick-up trucks and SUVs in our cities.

We can do do things differently, we just have to want to.

Israel dragged U.S. into this war. Israel is what’s keeping this war going. That is all.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

BREAKING: Netanyahu says the two-week ceasefire with Iran does not apply to Hezbollah or Lebanon—directly contradicting earlier statements from U.S., Iranian, and Pakistani officials. Major gap in the deal raises risk of continued regional escalation.

As long as war criminals like Tony Blair and George W Bush don’t go to jail, presidents and prime ministers like Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump are going to keep starting wars dragging us all to world war.

There's something just so brilliant about coal mines being directly replaced with solar farms www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/07/g...

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Lebanon is one of the most surprising clean energy stories in the world. Solar went from <1% of electricity in 2020 to nearly 30% by 2024. Not because of policy - because the state grid collapsed and people installed rooftop solar out of sheer necessity.

It’s time all energy analysts are told this. It has also happened in Pakistan in under half that time going from 2% to 25% in just 600 days. All Asian and African nations can do this in the next 200 days reducing global oil and gas demand by much more than what’s stuck in Hormuz. Bye bye oil & gas

Naomi Wolf could I suppose have googled it - but prefers to shout "I'm an idiot look at me!" to her many equally stupid followers.

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

Brexity folks thought that grovelling to these people would be an exercise in enhancing British sovereignty 🤡

The UK isn’t gonna allow Donald Trump to use its military bases to commit war crimes against Iran. Some MAGA folks are telling Donald to use them anyway. The dumbest people in the world are trying to get us all killed.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson's former best friend and Spectator journalist, James Delingpole, is speculating on Artemis 2 being fake. Quite how he still has a career is something of a mystery.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if rail firms saw an opportunity here… 🤔

After Trump, the USA cannot just expect the world to be OK with just replacing the top of the American terrorist regime with yet another Democrat regime. The entire U.S. system of government needs to he entirely replaced. 51 Supreme Court Justices - one for each state (and Puerto Rico is a state!)

If you have a furnace or boiler that burns propane, fuel oil, or kerosene, now is a great time to switch to an electric heat pump. You'll save a lot of 💰 on heating at today's fuel prices, which are up 30+% in the last month with no sign of dropping. Most heat pumps also provide air conditioning ❄️

A planet, if you can keep it.

May the oil “demand destruction” continue. In many countries transportation is the biggest emission source. Electrifying road transport is a big deal.

One of the Unions here in NZ ran a 'Mood of the Workforce' survey as a counter to the media-driven 'Mood of the Boardroom' that runs multiple times a year and my god it was illuminating

“I’m working now for rideshare, but I don’t know what that’s going to look like next week. Because if gas is $4 a gallon, I’m done,” she told CNN. Good to remember the stock market is a playground for the rich and does not reflect the economic realities on the ground.

Our world is increasingly shaped by stupid old men! The rate by which the German army pulls away from expensive and slow to manufacture systems that are fast destroyed on the battle field by cheap drones to which they should switch to shows how corrupt the industrial military complex became...

“These findings underscore that [Southern Africa’s] heat-related health risks span direct physiological injury and wide indirect cascades – from infectious disease to food insecurity, mental strain, and economic disruption – demanding integrated surveillance and adaptation.” research.assaf.org.z...

AI-driven manipulation comes in three forms, each tested in our research: • Deepfake videos • AI-generated misinformation articles • Personality-targeted political ads We ran multiple preregistered experiments to see if warnings protect people. Spoiler: They largely don't. 2/10

In Germany, from July onwards, the conversion of industrial buildings will be eligible for a grant of €30,000 per flat; with improved energy efficiency of course. It is a logical step; the potential is huge in developed countries.

Here it is. EV demand getting a boost from the war. Are we surprised? www.cnbc.com/2026/04/02/e...

We welcome the brilliant @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social to the studio for analysis of the coming food shock. Joined too by also brilliant @mjflepage.bsky.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wxo...

An excellent video from Professor Steve Keen explaining the impacts AI are having on the USA and Israel’s attacks on Iran and where this is likely heading. He describes AI as a Pandora’s box of seemingly valuable gifts but instead has extremely dangerous contents. Really worth watching:

This is a cool graphic - a moon flyby, neat! - and also a good thread about who this mission benefits and how.

Twinning! Something important is going on this week that will have world-wide implications! Like an egg splitting in half, a tropical wave gives birth twin tropical #cyclones in the Equatorial Pacific. Notice how one spins clockwise I the Northern Hemisphere, the other counterclockwise SH… 1/

"If you are trying to protect life on Earth, you are working in an era defined by loss." As with climate scientists, many on the frontlines fighting for the living world are suffering a mental health crisis. It's *vital* we mind ourselves, and each other. www.butlernature.com/2026/03/22/t...

Increased odds of heavy rain this summer in the SW? “summers with above-average coastal SSTs are more favorable to moist convection in southern CA, AZ, NM, and the southern Great Basin. This is because warmer SSTs drive circulation changes that increase moisture flux into the desert southwest.”

For an EU that prides itself on the rule of law, 2025 was a worrying year - conditions deteriorated most in the democratic “checks and balances” pillar: independent NGOs & civil society being able to organise, challenge decisions and hold governments to account. www.theguardian.com/law/2026/mar...

Latest outrage from world’s vilest Apartheid regime: legalised murder of detained Palestinians, to supplement their terrorist army & roaming coloniser “settler” gangs. Europe still supports, normalises, sells weapons & is major trading partner with these lawless killers. www.rte.ie/news/middle-...
