X-odus under way. So much wrong in this world, I don't know where to start. Scatter brained antifa, anti brexiturd, anti genocide, anti climate change denial, you know the drill, fire hose of BS out there. Bit of science, economics, and fun. #FBPE

Remembering Gwyneth Bebb today. She passed Oxford law finals with first class marks in 1913, but was refused a degree. The CA rejected her claim to become a solicitor, saying only men were "persons" within the legislation. In 1920 she finally became a Bar student. But died in childbirth in 1921.
Screenshot of a Facebook post recording the fact that on this day in 1920, women were awarded Oxford degrees for the first time. Image of graduating women.

2°C by 2040. That's where the trend lands if warming keeps running at its post-2011 rate of 0.39°C a decade. The CMIP6 climate models in this chart land there too We're crossing 1.5°C as we speak: 2024 cleared it, 2026 will too, and next year's record #ElNino points at 1.7°C

Some say early 2030s. Others say 2028. But the math says it already happened in February, 2026. The Climate 8-Ball says there will not be a year in the next 100 years with a temperature anomaly less than 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.

In some ways this is even more enraging than the original error. It wasn’t a printing error and previously the Tories’ justification for ditching clean power targets was it would supposedly cut the cost of electricity and support the roll out of the very EVs and heat pumps they’re now sneering at.
