Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 25/06/2026As we have experienced this week, extreme temperatures are no longer a future threat. They are a present danger. Today, I’m launching London’s first ever heat plan: a city-wide plan to adapt our capital, protect communities, and build a climate-resilient city. 541635422
Grey Area @greyarea22.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Paint the roofs white Plant a lot of trees Make the whole city a NOLEZ Ban fossil powered home heating 010
Grant Elliott @vanroon.bsky.social · 25/06/2026It was nowhere the same type of weather conditions in 1976. 000
Dr Jeremy Walker @jeremywalker.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Will you prosecute Shell & BP for deliberately, willfully destroying the conditions of life on Earth, and deceiving the public with antiscience propaganda to defeat climate policy, for decades, through the Institute For Economic Affairs (London), the original #AtlasNetwork petro-propaganda unit? 281
George O. Wood @gwood.dev · 25/06/2026The right are gonna LOVE this. How long do you reckon it'll take for the “@sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social is controlling the weather“ narrative to set in? 000
CharaGolf @charajohn.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Well done Mr Mayor. Hopefully the new PM will continue to ignore the Drill Baby Drill rhetoric and people start 'Looking Up'. 010
Bombs Warm Earth @bombswarmearth.bsky.social · 25/06/2026The jet set is set on destruction Shut down the whole aviation and war industries To give the future a chance 000
Colette @colbent.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Well done Sadiq, you proved the naysayers wrong with ULEZ, go for it. 010
Verity Imelda Player @verityplayer.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Behold a proper picture for #heatwave coverage - not ppl splashing in fountains or lazing on beaches. 000
raised-brow.bsky.social @raised-brow.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Good news. Government urgently needs to lead on this; it will also create jobs. Lots of great examples around the world to learn from. 0310
greenfutures.bsky.social @greenfutures.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Well done Sadiq. Let me know how I can help. I found your map of Londons Cool Spaces which could really do with more publicity and could be hugely 👍updated. apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/apps.london.gov.ukCool SpacesCool Spaces Map displays indoor venues open to all where Londoners can take respite on hot days. 011
Cornish Darren Fewins @darrenfewins.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Yes but will every bird have a new song to sing? 000
God-Emperor Tsunami 💙 #FBPE #BLM #GTTO @tsunami65.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Meanwhile, the rest of the UK burns. 211
Karen C Kaye Ⓥ @kaye1965.bsky.social · 25/06/2026This world is getting hotter every year and something seriously has to be done. It needs to be taken seriously because if the ice caps melt, because they are made of land ice, when they melt, that water runs directly into the ocean, contributing to global sea-level rise. And plant more trees. 000
cras007.bsky.social @cras007.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Well here’s a theory when much of the world was under/in a ice age ( according to scientists) and today there’s zero ice age our world temperatures had to have jumped up/ increased in order to melt the ice so possibly these temperatures aren’t that unusual just a thought! 400
globalinterest @globalinteresr.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Not waiting for national leaders but getting it done community by community. WTG Lord Mayor London.. . 000
Don't panic Jonesey @ergoerosum.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Don't know where you'll find room for the trees you'll need to do that but it has to be done. 000
Jake Spedley @spedley.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Hopefully these are plans you are emphasising because of the weather and not just reactive nothings that will be forgotten next week. 000
Chris Laumer @tendersombrero.bsky.social · 29/06/2026A big problem unique to the UK are leasehold flats, the terms of which typically limit the ability of residents to do things like e.g. install air conditioning units or heat pumps. Yet it feels clear that if nothing is done, lots of flats will reach lethal wet bulb temperatures regularly by 2050... 000
Valentenya the climate policy strategy cat 🍉 🐈⬛ @valentenya.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Resilience has a narrow adaption window and fossil fuel burning is ratcheting up the heat with every molecule. As morons with expensive megaphones seek to undermine climate action, comms like this are an opportunity to sheet that message home. 080
Alyssa Taylor @alyssacreates.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Not having a go (really, lol), but this should have been in place years ago. They've been a danger for a long time. 3120
James Steel @jamessteel2008.bsky.social · 25/06/2026That’s fantastic, climate change is real and it’s happening now. I feel sorry for anyone with a deform council or MP who are doing everything possible to deny it’s happening and cut anything to do with climate change endangering peoples lives in extreme heat like this. 0270
GlisGlis @glisglis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Start by persuading your Labour party and union colleagues to stop calling for new oil and gas licences and revoke those granted by Rishi Sunak. Oil and gas consumption is the real and present danger. 030
lichengreen101.bsky.social @lichengreen101.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Dealing with symptoms and not the cause Typical political response 000
Clive Durdle @evilceldrud.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Make sure it really is whole system! Look at Rotterdam! Neighbourhood Energy and Mobility coops forensically auditing where they are from are now wish to be, implementing it clivedurdle.wordpress.com/2021/11/02/t...clivedurdle.wordpress.comTFL Step free accessPlease formally study this and implement it. The key problem is of siloiing subjects and not understanding that sustainability, inclusion and logistics are nearly completely overlapping sets. Rail … 011
Benedarial* @benedarial.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Can we please just get air conditioning in London buses and stop it feeling like a hardship transport mode 000
Spancialosaphus Lacrimosae @seaewenext2sday.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Legislation for a safe max/min ambient working temperature? 220
The Teasel @theteasel.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Solar panels -Could they be designed to keep roofs cool in hot weather - are they now? 170
js129.bsky.social @js129.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I'm retiring next year and I'm going to move as far north as I can get, because sticking plasters aren't going to fix this. 010
bedfordterrier.bsky.social @bedfordterrier.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Meanwhile the knobheads in the loony far right reform party will be saying drill baby drill let’s get that North Sea opened up 050
Bill Rubin @mwrubin.bsky.social · 27/06/2026This is okay as far as it goes, but still completely in denial about the need to air condition London homes. No amount of passive measures is going to be sufficient to deal with temperatures that routinely exceed 30 C. Victorian buildings were not designed to be habitable in that sort of heat. 200
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 25/06/2026It sets out actions to make our city more resilient, including: 🔴 Retrofitting homes at the highest risk of overheating 🔴 More tree cover and green spaces 🔴 More safe access to blue spaces such as swimming 🔴 Support for our health system 🔴 Strengthening critical infrastructure 1952065
gravyriver.bsky.social @gravyriver.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Trying to understand why you see warm weather as a threat, but you don’t see the grooming gangs as one. 000
Gamle Ode Aquavits @gamleode.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Thank you for this. Hard to witness this 'first' ever heat mgmt plan couldn't be launched until literally day three of an actual extreme heatwave event, that no civic leader could do it earlier in the hothouse world so obviously coming for a decade plus. Delay is so maddening, but great to see. 000
myvoice24.bsky.social @myvoice24.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Absolutely fantastic but please also include reminding/teaching people about how their behaviours contribute to climate change. Things will continue to get worse until we change. 1130
ianternet.bsky.social @ianternet.bsky.social · 25/06/2026You cannot adapt to climate change, it will continue to spiral out of control Without CO2 & Methane emissions being cut to Zero an exponential rise in temperature is inevitable The 'targets' are 30 years too late 010
madeinyorkshire.bsky.social @madeinyorkshire.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Khan's intentions are good, however. Did you know that the LED advertising panels alongside the escalators in the London Underground use roughly 9.6 million kWh (9.6 GWh) per year. And where are the hottest places in London? Yes, underground stations. 110
Kate P @kate-pr.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Please change planning regulations urgently, to stop developers & housing landlords concreting over green space! 120
Ian Slater @iansslater.bsky.social · 25/06/2026An important initiative, thank you. Progressive cities like London and Paris (and now NYC) need work together to identify and share best practice. 0260
