Moving forward, PELASE remember that downplaying the danger of climate change only helps the climate deniers. That’s why they’ve all jumped on this. Please undo the damage done! Please trumpet that 3C by 2100 is catastrophic (and just a step to more heating w/out fossil phaseout and net zero).

“ICE’s use of Palantir systems now means agency officials effectively have a list of 20 million people readily accessible on their iPhones” Make sure this doesn't happen in the UK. Stop Palantir: https://notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-target/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/

Immigration make Britain brilliant

It's good to see some reality and sanity from a respected source being applied to such concepts.

Dear @bbcnews.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social 🔔This is all across local news. The government hasn't yet briefed the public on the severe threats from climate change and nature loss, so civil society is taking matters into its own hands. Articles from just last 10 days👇

Let’s call this bull**** out TOGETHER The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...

Well done the EU Commission. It's high time a few other public organisations stopped encouraging people to use X. mastodon.social/@randahl/116... Randall is also here @randahl.bsky.social

Sir David Attenborough was 78 in 2004 when a single lecture changed his view on climate change Seeing four graphs rise together, CO2, global temperature, population, and industrialisation, convinced him the link was undeniable “I do not have any doubt at all” www.carbonbrief.org/the-2004-lec...

Today is Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday. Here is the view I had in 2018 of the launch of the hull of the research ship bearing his name. Sir David can be seen waving as it goes down the slipway into the Mersey.

Tragically, if polls can be believed, several million people in the UK whose grandparents took up arms against fascism will vote for it today.

Many media outlets seem to be having difficulty communicating the scale of the gift that Farage neglected to declare compared to the amounts other politicians benefitted as a result of financial indiscretions recently, so here's a simple graphic to help.

Nearly half of Britain’s energy is imported. If a country can’t keep the lights on without relying on others, how sovereign or vulnerable is it really? Max Terzza reports

Update - the provisional April rainfall figure for the NIAB weather station near Cambridge itself is 1.6 mm.

#FarageCamps... Watch this as well... youtu.be/z5A0qpWUrfg?...

and Cambridgeshire was the driest county with only 2.5mm of rain was recorded during April.

Labour has already delivered more manifesto pledges than Reform UK has total policies www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lab...

In 2025, all European glacier regions saw a net mass loss, with Iceland recording its 2nd‑largest loss since 1976. It was the 4th year in a row that all 19 global glacier regions lost mass. More insight in #ESOTC2025 from #Copernicus Climate @ecmwf.int and @wmo-global.bsky.social ⬇️ #ClimateData

April 2026 #Arctic sea ice extent was the 2nd lowest on record for the month... This was 1,120,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average. April ice extent is decreasing at about 2.44% per decade. Data: @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

Two thirds of all the money that Reform UK spends came from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire.

It's hard being a climate comedian's therapist... 🫠

Follow the money if you want to know what really drives Reform.

It is now late autumn in Antarctica. The polar night, when the sun disappears below the horizon until spring, will soon extend over most of the continent. Yet there is still hardly any sea ice in the southern Bellingshausen Sea (lower left in the regional map below).

Love it. I miss the days when new songs with this energy level by people with something to say used to drop every few weeks.

The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) is higher than at any point in at least the past one million years (according to evidence from paleoclimate records). More climate change indicators: zacklabe.com/climate-chan...

I don't know if this simply a consequence of dumbing down or if it part of someone's agenda, but either way it is a failure of the BBC's public service duty.

Grifters will grift.

East Anglia is on the frontline – flooding, erosion, fire risk. What MPs were told in Westminster is screening in Beccles today. The message from the National Emergency Briefing is clear – the UK isn’t responding fast enough.

Humanity can survive without AI. Human civilisation is unlikely to survive in +2°C world though.

Fantastic investigation from @writesbright.bsky.social digging into foreign interference and exposing Farage, Reform and co for what they are writesbright.substack.com/p/farages-fo...

Happy #EarthDay! 🌍 Today we are launching a white paper on Barriers to Glaciers-Related Financing. As temperatures continue to rise, finance will be needed to respond to the impact of glacier loss on mountain 🗻 and water 🧊 ecosystems. iccinet.org/glacier-fina...

🧵❄️🌊🧪 Technofixes ("geoengineering") approaches intended to slow ice loss from Thwaites Glacier, the Antarctic glacier that's losing ice most quickly, are not a viable option to combat sea-level rise. www.theenergymix.com/geoengineeri...

With Farage making a shed load of money from bitcoin and an assortment of weird companies, we’ve launched a map and live tracker of his income 👇🏻👇🏻

It's unfathomable that despite all the evidence many working people still seem under the delusion that millionaire grifters Tice and Farage are on their side.

"The study’s author says Venice exemplifies the challenges that many low-lying coastal areas will face due to sea-level rise over the coming centuries, including the Maldives and the Netherlands." For the UK, add the Fens, Broads, Somerset Levels and areas flanking the Thames Estuary to that list.

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.

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/...

A clown show took place in Washington DC last week. 🤡 Some the ignorance exposed by the quoted statements would be hilarious if the stakes weren't so high. It would be interesting to know how many (any?) of those who attended have PhDs in subjects such as meteorology, oceanography, glaciology etc.

Imagine owning a restaurant where the chef pays you to cook in your kitchen but then they pay you again to eat the food. And you pay the sous chefs, waiters, and hosts nothing. That’s modern academic publishing.

It would be highly ironic if councils in this region, which is a part of the UK most seriously threatened by climate change, end up being controlled by a party that denies it is happening. If you don't want this absurd outcome, get out and vote to prevent it.
