I just started working on strategic comms for Canopy - an org protecting ancient & endangered forests by working with fashion/packaging supply chains and promoting Next Gen solutions. After just a few days, I love it! It's challenging, stimulating and energising. Read about Canopy: canopyplanet.org

The world is warming despite natural fluctuations from the El Niño cycle— In 2025, the world was around 1.4 °C warmer than it was in pre-industrial times. But temperatures haven’t increased linearly; there have been spikes and dips along the way.
Line chart of monthly global average land–sea surface temperature anomalies relative to the 1991 to 2020 average, where the series from January 1950 to March 2026 shows a clear upward trend and recent "cool" (La Niña) periods are still warmer than many past "warm" (El Niño) peaks. The chart specifically highlights that this year's La Niña phase is hotter than the warm El Niño phase in 2007 and shows neutral periods between phases.
