Summer of 2026 was UK’s hottest on record, Met Office says

Meteorologists say average mean temperature of 16.5C was made 130 times more likely by climate crisis This year’s summer was the UK’s hottest on record, according to provisional Met Office data, with the season’s mean temperature made 130 times more likely as a result of the climate crisis.

Someone needs to have serious words with Trump before the already costly electricity prices in the US gets seriously more expensive for the people if the switch flips. I doubt Canada would do that, but they can certainly raise the prices! 😳 Not that Trump cares, it's not about him.

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

An incredibly well-timed Landsat 9 pass captured the effects of yesterday’s catastrophic glacier collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border. The event was so massive that it was detected by seismometers around the world.

I just did some dancing in a downpour. Okay, waddling and a little weird jiggle. It's the best I could do. Nothing that makes us feel more alive than a little impromptu randomness celebrating mother nature. The smell of the grasses and pollen being refreshed after a dry spell. Belting it down.

Tim Curry’s role in The Rocky Horror Picture Show was universally loved. Imagine the moral panic if it came out now, from those too stupid to realise they’re being regressed.

With great sadness we learned about the passing of former @EU_Commission VP Siim Kallas. Through his public career he helped shape Estonia’s EU path and key European policies, from transport to administration. Our condolences to his family, colleagues and friends.
