The reason why climate-friendly tech – and not just technology, but behavioural change as well – is not being implemented is the narrative that we shouldn’t make changes too quickly. This is supposed to bring everyone on board, but it is a self-serving lie. It means making profits sustainable.

A new study by Allen et al. shows just what the New Scientist headline says. That's in fact not unexpected: warming slows #AMOC, and that's what removing aerosol pollution does. 🌊 The paper 👉 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... New Scientist 👉 www.newscientist.com/article/2526...

Cleaning up air pollution could weaken vital AMOC ocean current
Global warming already threatens to destabilise the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, and new research shows that regional clean-air policies could reduce its strength further

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 17/05/2026
Prejudice toward one community is prejudice towards us all.
Graphic from the Mayor of London with a grey background and black text. The heading reads “Mayor of London.” The statement condemns Islamophobic incidents connected to a far-right protest, says organisers came to spread anti-Muslim hatred and division, and affirms London’s commitment to inclusion. It calls on Londoners to show solidarity with Jewish, Muslim and minority communities and states that prejudice against one community affects everyone. The statement is signed “Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.”
