This is a wind map of the Philippines right now (Sunday, 7:45pm local time) Manila is approx where the little green circle is. This is the second major typhoon in less than a week. #typhoonfungwong

Super Typhoon Ragasa has crossed the coast of northern Philippines. Strong wind gusts here in Manila, but a long way away from the worst of it.

What do 30 years of FEMA stats show us about climate-driven disasters in the United States? - 2024 was the second highest number of Major Disasters in a year. That's one every four days. - 41% (137m people) of population lived under a Major Disaster or Emergency Declaration at some point in 2024.

Only 13 countries met the Feb 10 deadline for updated climate targets. And one of those is the United States (which has since announced it will withdraw from the Paris Agreement). Some big names still missing: The European Union, China, India, Australia, etc, etc. www.iied.org/only-13-coun...

So, when Elon posts these kinds of tributes... remember that the killer watched a stabbing video on X moments before he murdered the girls.

This seems like a good time to finally become a financial supporter of @theguardian.com. Sure, no outlet is perfect. But we need non-billionaire owned media more than ever right now.

There have been two major spikes in Google searches for 'what is the Paris agreement' during the past 5 years - both times coinciding with Inauguration Day in the US.

Elon Musk's attempts to meddle in European politics is not going well, in the UK at least. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

November 2024 was the second hottest November on record, making it all but certain 2024 will be the hottest year ever. 2024 will also be the first calendar year to breach 1.5 degrees. Graph from @oceanterra.org

Very much enjoyed listening to Merkel reflect on her life and political career. One area in which she wishes she’d achieved more is on climate change.

Daily Mail complaining about 'wokery' getting in the way of workplace sexual harassment. Note the updated version (more than a week later) changed the image.

Australia is one of the highest emitters per capita. Worth being reminded of that, especially as Australia bids to host COP31 in 2026. www.ft.com/content/a0cf...
