Region Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperatures are in record territory, approaching 3 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean, an anomaly that has never happened before in recorded history. The Climate 8-ball says: "four!"

Shrubification in response to warming is well known to occur around the globe - also on peatlands. A very likely boost to heather biomass in the UK uplands (quite a few papers on that are published)! Bogs are getting drier & rewetting has limits & fires are an if not when. Just saying ...

Whilst a lot of what Bill Gates wrote in his memo makes a certain amount of sense, his main point that short term emissions reduction is not the priority is based on flawed and out of date data. I’ve scribbled on his graph below to add a very important line - reality. #climatechange #acceleration

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

One of the overlooked risks in the uplands. Banning heather burning will most likely cause a huge increase in ticks and their associated nasty illnesses. Tall heather & bracken as well as brash layers from heather cutting will be perfect habitats. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
