A nice positive, affirming evening at Scottish Southern Energy HQ in Perth for the Powering Futures award ceremony. This new education initiative recognises attainment as opposed to achievement (passing exams). Very proud to be one of the first recipients of the Ken Muir award.

A few pictures from yesterdays Surfers Against Sewage national paddle out campaign in Nairn, highlighting the need for all agencies to get a grip on the sewage pollution routinely being dumped in our waterways & seas, threatening our health and the lives of the marine life we all love.

Levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere rose more quickly than ever previously recorded in 2024, scientists say, reaching a new high of more than 424ppm. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Planet-warming carbon dioxide levels rose more than ever in 2024
The record rise is incompatible with keeping global warming to 1.5C according to the Met Office.

Climate strike week 318 Well it's -5C in Ullapool this morning but globally 2024 was officially the hottest year since records began, 1.6C above pre-industrial levels. First year that 1.5C threshold has been broken. Hopefully recent events will make leaders take action to reduce CO2 emissions

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.
