This summer started with an unprecedented heatwave in late May. It's almost October now, and last night temperatures over most of the UK were between 7C and 11C hotter than normal for the time of year. From istheukhotrightnow.com
Map shows temperature variation from normal 30 September, 02:00 UTC (3am BST) Median difference from normal +7.2C, maximum 11C.

People support clean energy but think others don't. People support clean air but think others don't. People support low traffic neighbourhoods but think others don't. And they think others don't because vested interests and right-wing media work hard to create that impression.

From 2011: "Faced with the combined threats of land subsidence and rising temperatures and sea levels, the World Bank has predicted that Bangkok’s flood risk will increase four-fold from now by 2050." #Bangkok #Thailand 🇹🇭 #ClimateEmergency

Floods show what lies ahead for sinking Bangkok
The Thai capital, built on swampland, is slowly sinking and the floods currently besieging Bangkok could be merely a foretaste of a grim future as climate change makes its impact felt, experts say.

Reform UK's funding has made headlines this year. But its ties to the UAE have largely flown under the radar. Our new report maps how an oil-rich Gulf state with no elections has built links to Farage et al, and into the wider UK far right, including Tommy Robinson. fairsq.org/petropopulis...
Report cover from FairSquare titled "Petro-populism: The UAE, Reform UK and the Far-Right". Headline reads: "Inside Reform UK's worrying ties to the UAE. New research maps a web of connections spanning Farage and the wider UK far right." The yellow-toned collage shows halftone cut-outs of Nigel Farage in profile on the left, Richard Tice at the bottom centre, and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed on the right, set against a backdrop of oil pipelines stretching across the desert.

A temperature rise of 0.5C in the Pacific (above the 30 year rolling average) is the threshold for declaring an El Niño. Above 2C is a 'super' El Niño The 2026 temperature rise has reached 3.05C, the highest ever recorded, several months before its expected peak, which is predicted to be around 4C

Gas power costs are reaching energy crisis levels again in the UK, which will inevitably push bills up for consumers. The fortunes of the British economy are still tied to the price of a single fossil fuel. When bills go up, remember that this is the reason why.

All sorts of claims about Heathrow expansion fall apart when they are examined. This is an interesting one. "Heathrow handles over 1/4 of UK trade by value (£293bn)" But it's only £120bn, less than Dover, if you exclude banks & traders moving gold around. NB moving gold has no impact on GDP (Link £)
