The complete loss of cold years in the Arctic since the 1980s is astounding. The last "blue" stripe was 1992, following the Pinatubo Volcano eruption in the summer of 1991. #ShowYourStripes #Climate #Arctic

Climate stripes for the Arctic (land and seas north of 60ºN latitude), 1900 to 2025, showing the annual average as a single bar. Colors ramp from blue for the coldest year to bright red for the warmest year.

The government has delivered on pledges on immigration, NHS, policing and workers’ rights. It clearly isn’t helping. Were they the wrong pledges all along? Were they the wrong things to prioritise? Or has Britain become “ungovernable”, as some claim? (I think there’s a decent argument for each.)

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran. Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.

In light of the broligarchs' escape from taxation--@propublica.org shows Bezos pays an effective tax rate of 0.98%, Musk 3.27% & the 25 richest Americans an average of 3.4%--it is instructive to read how indigenous ppl in N America were vilified as "savage" & "repugnant" for being exempted from tax.
