Just watched Al Gore’s latest TED talk dismantling the so‑called “climate realism” narrative. An inspiring summary of the climate crisis, proving that we are making progress, despite pushback from the fossil fuel industry. Well worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztx0...

Yes climate change is already killing people www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...

Bar chart showing heat-related deaths in several European cities from 23 June to 2 July 2025, distinguishing between numbers due to human-caused climate change and those due to natural variability
Milan: 317 from human caused climate change, 182 natural
Barcelona: 286, 54
Paris: 235, 138
London: 171, 92
Rome: 164, 118
Madrid: 108, (then some relatively small number not given)
Athens: 96, 79
Budapest: 47, 24
Zagreb: 31, 25
Lisbon: 21, 71
Frankfurt: 21 (then some relatively small number not given)

Added text says two-thirds of heat deaths in London were attributable to climate change

New paper in @rmets.org Weather from Gillian Kay & Met Office colleagues finds the max possible UK temperature in the *current* climate is a staggering 46.6°C. That's 6.3°C above the current record! We're not prepared for today's extremes, let alone those of the future. doi.org/10.1002/wea....

Rapidly increasing chance of record UK summer temperatures

The UK recorded its first exceedance of 40°C in July 2022. To assess the current chance of recurrence, we use a large climate model ensemble approach and find the 2023 return period to be 1-in-24 yea....

Sooo... the government has removed the 1m planning rule in England, and the BBC have opened the comments section on their article...😱😳 Because I clearly hate myself, let's do a quick fact check on some of the most popular comments... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Planning change makes heat pump installations easier for homes

The rule requiring planning permission if a heat pump is within 1m of a neighbours property has been removed.

The village of Blatten in Switzerland is partly buried by the collapse of a glacier which melted because our greenhouse gas emissions warmed the climate. Another reminder that choosing to not invest enough today to reduce emissions means far greater costs for society in the long term.

NEW – Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time | @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social Read here: buff.ly/6eAcjRU

Line chart – China's CO2 emissions are now 1% below their March 2024 peak: China’s emissions from fossil fuels and cement, million tonnes of CO2, rolling 12-month totals. Source: Emissions are estimated from National Bureau of Statistics data on production of different fuels and cement, China Customs data on imports and exports and WIND Information data on changes in inventories, applying emissions factors from China’s latest national greenhouse gas emissions inventory and annual emissions factors per tonne of cement production until 2024. Sector breakdown of coal consumption is estimated using coal consumption data from WIND Information and electricity data from the National Energy Administration.

Recently, I've seen people talking about the environmental impacts of using ChatGPT, etc. But casual usage might not be as bad as people think, relative to our usual energy consumption. @hannahritchie.bsky.social shares the data and details here: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/carbon-foo...

What's the carbon footprint of using ChatGPT?

Very small compared to most of the other stuff you do.

Got round to reading Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans/unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as third world. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data. "As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported." nsidc.org/data/user-re...

Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming. Could these be the real culprits? The evidence is in--and the answer is NO. This thread explains! 🧵

A graphic with an icon of the sun, a wiggly line denoting natural cycles, and a volcano, with a title reading "WHY is climate changing?" created by me. Not fancy, as my graphic design skills lean to function over art!

Global mean temperatures have been at or near record high levels again over the last week or so (for this time of year). Graphic from zacklabe.com/climate-chan...

Graph showing daily global mean near-surface air temperatures for 2025. This is also compared to the daily data from the 1971-2000 average, 1981-2010 average, and 1991-2020 average. Annotations are also shown to the current year with the other years from 1940 to 2024 and a threshold of 2°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level. There is a strong seasonal cycle, with a peak during the boreal summer season. There is a long-term warming trend. 2024 is also indicated, which was the warmest year on record. Data is from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis and updated through 29 April 2025.
