6/ The government's own adaptation plans have been rated "inadequate" by the Climate Change Committee. We set out what needs to change. Read the full report ⬇️ buff.ly/MtXrKNM

5/ One study estimates heatwaves and floods alone could push UK food prices up by 34 per cent by 2050. The fifth of households on the lowest incomes already spend 45 per cent of their income just to meet the government's recommended diet.

4/ The UK imports roughly 40 per cent of its food. A quarter comes from the Mediterranean, where extreme weather is devastating yields. The countries we depend on face far higher climate risk than we do.

2/ England has recorded three of its five worst ever cereal harvests in the last decade. Bad weather cost arable farms over £800 million in 2025. 60 per cent of England's most productive farmland is already at the highest flood risk level.

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 | Climate change added an estimated £361 to average household food bills in 2022-23. Staples like coffee, cocoa and olive oil have already spiked sharply. And the risks are growing. Our new report traces the impact at every stage of the food system, from farm to fork: buff.ly/MtXrKNM

3/ Hotter summers are hitting livestock too. Heat stress cuts dairy yields by up to ten per cent and costs individual farms up to £90,000 a year. South West dairy herds could face a tenfold increase in heat stress days by 2070.

I'm reminded of this Honest Gov't Ad from the Australien Government www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSZg... #CCS

"We show that upfront investments are needed in the near term for limiting temperature overshoot but that these would bring long-term economic gains." #InvestToSave-Oursleves !

We have a new paper finding that parabolic trough solar thermal collectors with molten salt energy storage could reduce both costs and GHG emissions in process heat applications, particularly in regions with strong solar resources and sufficient land availability. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Yes, we have an El Nino – probably Super-Duper – see the better diagnostic (Fig. 2) – comparison to ordinary and Super El Ninos See Super-Duper El Nino: mailchi.mp/caa/super-du... Also available on Substack: jimehansen.substack.com/p/super-dupe...

Breaking: New study using observational constraints projects that the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC will weaken ~50% by 2100, even for medium emissions and without Greenland melting. 🌊 More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The #AMOC by 2100 will thus be so weak (~8 Sv) that it is very likely on the way to full shutdown, as our study last year showed: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... In my view, this now makes a full #AMOC shutdown more likely than not. Definitely not a low likelihood risk, as we used to think.

Extraordinary that nowhere in an article on resilience did PM find space to include the growing threat posed to UK security by the dramatic decline in the health of nature around the world - especially since his own intelligence chiefs have recently spelt it out for him in no uncertain terms 👇

What a brilliant day at the Coleford Carnival of Transport ! The sun was shining and we had lots of people chatting all things #CommunityEnergy with us. We gave out so many coasters, met people from all over the Forest, and even found another great event to go to this summer in Woolaston.

Join us 21 Apr for Ethex Cuppa Club, an online chat with Ethex's Ben Sharpe and BWCE's Pete Capener. Hear about #CommunityEnergy and what investing in our latest #BondOffer is all about! The bond offer is managed by Ethex on behalf of BWCE. Capital at risk. Register: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Did you know that only ~1/3 of the world's crops are actually eaten as *food*? Amazingly, we lose a little more than half of our crops to biofuels and inefficient feedlots. In other words, less than half of the world's crop calories actually become available as food. drawdown.org/news/only-ha...

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

The electrical revolution is happening - across several domains - faster and further than almost anyone dared predict. And any country that does not embrace it will be left in the fossil age.

Clean, safe, cheap, renewable energy that you don't have to fight deadly wars or destroy the environment to get. Good for wildlife, too, when done properly. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

European power prices are split since the US-Iran conflict. Gas-reliant markets like Italy and Ireland have seen high prices (€140/MWh) while renewable rich regions including Spain, Portugal and Sweden see far lower prices (€40/MWh). These are average wholesale daily prices (8am to 8pm).

Haha this is very validating

Absolutely delighted to talk to @christianwolmar.bsky.social for the Calling All Stations podcast on how the government’s Great British Railway reforms are (finally!) paving the way for solar rail to happen at scale in the uk! First 16m here 👇

Very interesting stat re #nuclear and #renewables #energy

Each year nuclear adding only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days. Game over.

Incumbent German electricity suppliers said in 1993 that renewables could not provide more than 4% of electricity in the long run. In 2025, renewables provided 55.9% of Germany's electricity — 14 times the predicted ceiling.

People do not appreciate what a vast, fundamental sea change batteries are bringing to the electrical system.

Thrilled to chat with Adele Peters for FastCompany about the transformation of Paris in terms of bike lanes and school streets under Hidalgo's leadership. www.fastcompany.com/91509506/how...

In 2026, China’s combined wind and solar power generation will exceed US household and industrial power consumption combined. This has given China a huge energy advantage over the US, vulnerable because of its fossil fuels dependency.

The key is to make cycling visible, safe, and convenient. Political leadership is, of course, essential for sustained investment of this kind. Lots more in the full study, which is open-access, meaning no subscription required: doi.org/10.1080/1556...

The thru-line is that an emphasis on *protected* bike lanes, protected intersections, expanded bikeshare, and ubiquitous bike parking can lead to both more cycling, and simultaneously, better safety outcomes for those riding. doi.org/10.1080/1556...

New Bike Research! With an all-star team (Ralph Buehler, John Pucher, Emmanuel de Lanversin, and Rachel Aldred) we analyzed bike infrastructure, policies, ridership volume, and safety for New York, London, Paris, and Berlin 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 doi.org/10.1080/1556...

More in the full paper, out now in JPER (Open Access). So many people to thank, including my great colleagues at SJSU + NYU, longtime friends in Paris, and the Transatlantic Research Partnership, a program of Albertine Foundation and the French Embassy in the United States. doi.org/10.1177/0739...

The thermal camera allowed temperature comparisons of the 57 School Streets with cooling pavement installed versus adjacent 'control streets' with average differences of 5.01°C (9.02°F). The temperature differences were higher, on average, as daytime temperature increased. doi.org/10.1177/0739...

New Research! This summer I went to 272 'School Streets' in Paris, generating a comprehensive picture of this massive street-pedestrianization program. I cataloged amenities, tracked their development over time, and carried a thermal camera 📸 Thread on the findings 🧵 doi.org/10.1177/0739...

With these massive gains in ridership, all four cities saw decreases in the rate of cyclist fatalities. Incredibly, London and Paris, with a 189% and 751%(!!) increase in cycling respectively, both saw decreases in the number of cyclist fatalities in 2005-2023. In real numbers, not just rates!

Truly wild research on the change in bike mode share in NYC, London, Paris and Berlin. Between 2000 and 2023, Paris went from 1 out of every 100 trips being on a bike to *one out of 9!* Many people, including credible researchers, would have told you that that *could not* happen.
