Impressive statement from NCAS and FAAM to push back on most of the narrative put out by UKRI without ever losing composure 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 Leave the swearing to us offline (and potentially in staff meetings 🤫)

Yes, please specialise. No, not by focusing on aircraft measurements. No, not by investing in infrastructure. Yes, work together and share equipment. No, not on international physics programs. Look, there's these three buckets...

Universities are being encouraged to focus on sustaining existing facilities and "work together to identify opportunities for sharing equipment and facilities" So looks like infrastructure funding is being used as a lever to encourage unis to specialise, as the government wants them to

The dramatic images from wildfires tearing through Spain and Portugal year after year have become a mainstay of Europe’s increasingly blistering summers. But experts say that most of the damage is, in fact, preventable — if only authorities at regional, national and European levels would act.

Wildfires are preventable. So why does the Iberian Peninsula keep burning?

Governments can’t use climate change as an excuse for failing to take preventive measures, scientists say.

#Wildfire smoke from #Portugal and #Spain drifts toward North #Africa, while #SaharanDust surges back across Iberia and #France. This two-way #atmospheric exchange locks both regions in a feedback loop of haze, worsening #AirQuality, altering radiation balance, and amplifying summer #climate stress.

#Wildfires in northern Portugal and northwest Spain send vast smoke plumes over the Bay of Biscay, reaching France. Driven by summer heat and dry winds, the fires pose challenges for containment and threaten air quality across the region, as satellite imagery reveals active hotspots and dense smoke.

Additional plumes of smoke from wildfires in western Canada are degrading PM2.5 air quality today 11 Jun in the CONUS. The worst conditions are occurring in MT & ND, with lesser but still noticeable impacts across the Great Lakes & Ohio Valley regions. @noaa.gov

A spiral-shaped smoke arc from Canadian #wildfires stretches over Hudson Bay into the Arctic. This swirling plume carries aerosols that alter clouds, light absorption, and circulation. A visual trace of how distant fires now mold the far North’s atmospheric system. Data: Jun 3 – NASA Worldview.🛰🌎

Canada’s #wildfires 🔥 are rewriting the Arctic’s fate ❄️. This real satellite image 🛰️ shows smoke ☁️ infiltrating Arctic cloud systems. The result? A dangerous #climate feedback loop ♻️: Soot darkens snow 🖤, snow absorbs more heat ☀️… and the Arctic melts faster 🧊💧. Not just a photo 📷. A warning ⚠️.
