Humanity is speeding towards a climate catastrophe.
That’s the stark warning from the latest @UNEP report.
Every fraction of a degree of warming will cost lives, deepen inequalities & push ecosystems closer to irreversible damage.
We must raise ambition, accelerate #ClimateAction & fight for humanity. NOW.

I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

En Utah (EEUU), se aprobó la creación de un centro de datos que abarcará más de 80 kilómetros cuadrados y generará una carga térmica de unos 16 GW, equivalente al calor de 23 bombas atómicas diarias, según cálculos del profesor de física Rob Davies.
Estos centros de datos aumentan la temperatura hasta en 9 °C en un radio de 10 kilómetros y para 2030 consumirán el mismo agua que 1.300 millones de personas.

The brilliant historian Tessa Dunlop is one of the only people I know in the media who expresses serious alarm about the climate crisis.
Listen to her!!

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
Delighted to share my chapter Inter-species Justice and the Right to Thrive (Chapter 10) - Ethics and Planetary Boundaries - cup.org/4yVPrCC now published in Meisch, S. P., & Schmidt, J. J. (Eds.). (2026). Ethics and Planetary Boundaries. Cambridge University Press.

Read this. It's hard to ignore. Let it sink in.
'Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming'.
"If the warming rate of the past 10 years continues, it would lead to a long-term exceedance of the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement before 2030."
"How quickly the Earth continues to warm ultimately depends on how rapidly we reduce global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to zero."
Stefan Rahmstorf, Professor of Physics of the Ocean at the University of Potsdam

Largest huge breach is BIOSPHERE INTEGRITY
Climate, radiative forcing is a huge breach. Indicates future warming as well as present.

. @andyburnham etc see this as a political issue when it’s an issue of survival.
I hope he can get a briefing from @uksciencechief similar to the one that Boris Johnson got when he became Prime Minister. This is really happening.
I suppose the fact we are in a climate crisis and have literally seen hundreds of temperature records broken in the last few months means absolutely nothing, then.
Climate change is going to get to a point where we can no longer adapt.

⚠️🚨 FORGET EVERY WILDFIRE YOU’VE EVER SEEN.
✈️This looks like a massive volcano eruption, but it is actually the sky over Canada right now. Pilot Scott Hatton captured this apocalyptic view from his cockpit over Thunder Bay, Ontario.
These aren't just smoke clouds—the fires have literally created their own terrifying weather systems. This is no longer a regional crisis; it is a continental disaster. Let’s break down the sheer scale of this anomaly...

Ten days of water. That is what is left in northern Italy. Salt from the Adriatic pushing upstream into soil that fed generations.
Emergency meetings next week. Crops already turning.
We bear witness to a land dying on a timeline measured in days, not decades.

I am really struggling to understand any logic in this. It is the kind of policy we have come to expect in the present moment from a nearby neighbour, but Canada?
DYK: Canada cut the rural emergency radio station
Multiple communities have said they had little to no warning to evacuate and many lost internet and phone access long before they lost power.
@MarkJCarney must reverse his cuts to emergency comms.

Staggering
"Over the past century, #England & Wales have lost 98% of wildflower meadows. We have also destroyed half of Britain’s ancient woodland, half of lowland ponds, 90% of freshwater #wetlands and 62% of all “farmland” wild #birds."
