England just had its warmest spring on record. The record was last set in spring 2025. Before that, spring 2024. 9 of the 10 warmest springs have occurred since 2007. It's almost like there's a long-term driver causing this... www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

1/ A long-ish thread 🧵on the vital difference between power & agency in #climate action. A new paper proposes: locate your agency, pull your levers. Useful, but it leaves out power, & so leaves out strategy.

This is a great talk by @thierryaaron.bsky.social. The questions are also great. youtu.be/nwyTO4rg-Os?... PS: The shoutout to my Tice interview was a pleasant surprise, thanks!

"This article examines how doomism might be countered focusing on 4 main messages: 1) doomism is a misunderstanding of the science, 2) there is still much that can be saved... 3) support for climate action is widely underestimated 4) climate change represents a possible catalyst for a transition"

'Global warming acceleration in satellite observed lower-tropospheric temperature' (Preprint) "Projections based on the accelerated trend estimates suggest the potential for an additional 0.5–1.0°C of warming within the next decade [...] roughly three to five times the 1981–2024 linear trend." 📎👇

“A potentially important finding in my full deck, and one I think is genuinely new, is that a message explicitly connecting climate impacts with the rising cost of living moves climate salience up pretty markedly”

For reference, the 3-month average peak temp of the all-time record El Niño in 2015 was 2.8C. And that El Niño was the one that bleached 75% of the world's coral reefs. I shudder to think at the impact of the upcoming El Niño if the temperatures end up anywhere close to these latest model runs.

Ask a Climate Therapist: Is it still ‘catastrophizing’ if the threat is real?

A few thoughts from me on this populist sillyness about air con (not) being banned in new builds and why it's perfectly reasonable and sensible to focus on fabric measures first to reduce overheating. Air conditioning alone will never keep Britain cool www.lbc.co.uk/article/air-...

Incredible piece, but it needs to be said explicitly: these people are dangerous eugenicists. They want the "wrong" people to be exterminated and replaced by AI. That's abhorrent and you can't pretend otherwise.

Nearly 147,000 US-born kids have had a parent abducted under the regime’s mass deportation obsessions. 22,000+ have seen both parents detained. The new family separation crisis is here. “Families are also now being split up in ways that are more dispersed, more hidden and harder to track.”

The latest CFSv2 model results for El Nino (ONI) anomalies later this year are kinda nuts, with a peak at nearly 3.9C in November. NOAA needs to once again raise the y-axis range; here is what it should look like without all the runs above 4C cut off:

Hard to believe I’m even writing this. Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C than its annual average.

A great film indeed. Highly recommended. It talks about the role science played in the D-day operations. But also reveals how egos and overconfidence can cause inter-science (unnecessary and often distracting) clashes too. www.alternet.org/pressure-mov...

JUST DROPPED: For years I thought industrial electrification potential was limited. How wrong I was. Engineering studies point to 90%+. Long term scenarios support this. Technology is much further ahead than we think. Question is whether policy keeps up. janrosenow.substack.com/p/industry-f...

Durham County Council, run by Reform, pulled £2,500 from Durham Pride. But the Durham Miners Association, mindful of the support from LGBT communities during the miners strike, stepped in and, along with other Unions made contributions to make this year’s Durham Pride bigger than ever before. 🏳️‍🌈💪❤️

Could the AMOC really collapse!? A brand new study shows what science has long surmised - decreased poleward heat transport in the Atlantic - a slow down of Earth’s most vital circulation the AMOC - is indeed the cause of the very odd cold blob (warming hole) in the N. Atlantic… 1/

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

Mega heat pumps can replace fossil fuels in industry. In 2018 the frontier sat at ~165°C & a few MW. By 2024: 280°C & up to 100 MW. +115°C & a 50x capacity jump in six years. The tech isn't the bottleneck. Policy, grid access & power prices are. More soon, sign up here janrosenow.substack.com

Exclusive🚨 In the latest example of @zackpolanski.bsky.social bid to develop ties with unions, he is expected to tell UCU govt should stop treating uni students like customers + expected to warn that academics nationwide are facing "shattered morale, crushing workloads, and stifled innovation"

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

Just finished Any Questions, up against Richard Tice. I knew there would be plenty of BS on climate, but he spouted rubbish on *every* subject. Even claimed that the EU is not our biggest trading partner, but the US. In fact, we have 3x more trade with the EU. He believes whatever he wants to.
