It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

TfL has selected SSE Energy Solutions to connect the network to solar power, bringing us closer to our goal of operating on 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
Your 'moment of doom' for Mar. 4, 2026 ~ Expecting worse than expected.
"the authors determined that 3.28 feet (1 meter) of global sea level rise could inundate 37% more land area than previously thought, impacting 77 million to 132 million people ..."

Cartoon showing the backyard of a house. Two persons are standing next to various thrash bins, while one says: ‘No, that goes into the green bin. C’mon, the govt really want us to get this right’. Behind the backyard, we see massive data centers of Google, Amazon and Meta.
Data centers have a massive environmental impact. Today’s cartoon by @infiniteguff.com. More cartoons: www.cartoonmovement.com

Nothing especially new here
In particular, this book seems to throw up the same problem as other books on climate breakdown written by non-climate scientists
There is no real appreciation of the fact that prehistorification of our climate is now unstoppable

An atmospheric scientist estimates that if carbon-dioxide emissions continue apace, moderate or greater clear-air turbulence could rise by as much as 170 per cent on flight routes over the North Atlantic by the middle of the century. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/nheqN8
Current events are an ever present reminder of why renewables are so important. And why investment in chemistry to create products that serve the same purpose of oil derived petro chemicals also need so be invested in.
Energy independence is consistently one of the most powerful pro-Net Zero arguments among voters.
They back renewables over fossil fuel as the solution and it's not particularly close.
Bit baffled that Govt is not hammering this more loudly in light of Iran. Pushing at an open door.

FT: Mideast energy shock batters markets
EU Gas prices +40%, on top of +60% the day prior (no, not +100% overall)
I'm old enough to remember when gas prices spiked 2x over a weekend, and then 10x by the end of the summer.
That was 4 years ago, the last time a 'leader' blew a fuse.
Yes, then as now, the answer to fossilflation is to get off fossil fuels.
🚩 House Oversight just voted 24-19 to SUBPOENA AG Pam Bondi over her half-baked Epstein files release.
Key docs still hidden.
Redactions everywhere.
Powerful names protected.
Enough is enough.
Tell Congress: FORCE Bondi to release EVERY unredacted file NOW. No more cover-ups! 🔥

Good news: Scientists were wrong about how bad sea level rise is.
Bad news: It’s even worse than we thought.
I recently received as a gift a copy of Science Under Siege by @michaelemann.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social. In turn, I gifted another copy of this monumental book to another dear friend. Hope all reading here will do the same. Together by voting and protesting we can #BreaktheSiege.
The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:
- declared war without Congressional authorization
- ignoring multiple court orders
- impounding Congressional authorized funds
- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly
It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.
After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.
But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?
On @virginmedianews.bsky.social today we look at the impact of climate change on communities.
Following a deadly flood - that saw more than 130 people killed - 1,000+ people were marked to leave the village their families lived in for generations.
The fabric of communities in Rwanda is being torn.
CO2 is now affecting the body chemistry of humans
If the current levels of emissions are maintained, we could be facing potentially toxic atmospheric compositions within 50 years
THIS IS STAGGERING AND DEVASTATING NEWS
