Oh FFS! Instead of worrying about your summer holidays, you should be worrying about a 2.8°C to 3°C hotter southern Europe in 2050 and where all those millions of displaced people are going to be living? And what a 4°C Europe is going to do to your children? 🤷‍♂️

How will wildfires in Europe affect your summer holiday?

Travel expert Simon Calder shares his advice for those travelling to France and Spain this summer as devastating wildfires ravage western Europe.

Scientists warned you about: ♨️ more/longer/hotter heatwaves (hot planet=hot weather) 🌀 stronger storms (warm water=hurricane food) 🌧️ downpours (warm air holds more water vapor) 🌵 droughts (warm air is thirstier) 🔥 fire weather (hotter, drier) 🌊 sea level rise (land ice melts, warm water expands)

BREAKING: UK govt is targeting 87% cut in emissions by 2040 under the 7th "carbon budget" It says meeting this target will boost energy security, lower bills, create jobs and growth, improve quality of life – and tackle the "climate crisis"

Happy Birthday to Sir David Attenborough - from your namesake, RRS Sir David Attenborough! 🚢 The link between Sir David and this ship is very special to all who work on it. True to his legacy, it's where we do world leading polar science to understand these precious regions of our planet.

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

What a week getting ready to celebrate Int Women's Day! I started the week at the British Embassy Vienna, where I had the pleasure of meeting Ambassador Lindsay Skoll over a G&T. I joined an inspirational panel of women to discuss the green and tech revolutions at Austrian Academy of Sciences.
