Every country is warming.
Every country is experiencing more extreme weather events because of climate change, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels.
Time to #ShowYourStripes and start climate conversations to prompt actions to reduce emissions.

Today’s Iberian blackout isn’t just a power failure. It’s a warning. Extreme weather, aging assets, cyber-risks & space-weather threats are colliding. Our hyper-connected info networks then spark an “info-crisis” of panic & misinformation.
We must break silos, engineers, medics, cybersecurity, economists & policymakers must train for resilience, fund rolling renewals & restore public trust through transparent communication. Short-term savings are leading to long-term collapse. Let’s invest in multidisciplinary, anticipatory governance before the next shock becomes our new normal.

Last night @itvpeston interviewed UK opposition leader @KemiBadenoch…
During the interview, they showed her a series of charts showing why gas – not net-zero – is to blame for high power prices, inc one from me (pic)

The signs were clear and it finally happened: 2024 was the first year to exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial global temperature levels.
@Sir_David_King explains why this isn’t just a problem for the distant future – it’s causing devastation today.
The world’s leaders must act decisively. To secure a liveable future, we must urgently reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale.

Tomorrow 10am GMT I’ll fast forward the Trinity clock by 23 hrs for the end of Summer Time.

In the face of climate change, one of the planet’s most iconic natural wonders is under threat. The Great Barrier Reef, a vibrant, valuable ecosystem, could become a ‘coral graveyard’ as temperatures continue to rise and extreme heat waves increase. (1/4) buff.ly/3Y4dBJI

3.1% of UK electricity is provided by burning rubbish
Plastic waste - from fossil oil - means the power is as polluting as coal
Yet numbers of incinerators are on the rise
It’s an “insane situation” to UK waste management says Uni Southampton academic

🩹 "It’s nice that we can agree on key phrases like 'repair', 'climate repair'. I think that’s something we can all aspire to, whether we’re youth activists, scientists, community members. It’s a very inspiring vision."

Conspiracy theories about weather manipulation are, unfortunately, the logical next step in climate denialism, and the traction they are getting shows how hard it is to get out of this absurdly terrifying loop. wired.com/story/hurricane-mi…

My article with @Kevinclimate on why the new UK #hydrogen strategy is scam designed to prop up North Sea gas, under the pretence of climate action.
It'll impose a huge cost on UK taxpayers and lock us into a high emissions pathway. Key points 🧵📣

I've just finished reading @NickGBreeze book #COPOUT - a really good account of how the COP process has let us down.
