Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

I've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.

Yesterday the Telegraph reported on my comments about air conditioning. The comment section is quite something. I have apparently become a hero of the anti net zero crowd by saying something what I think is sensible about air con. Allow me to point out three ironies in this 🧵

Juni: Schlimmste Hitzewelle in Westeuropa seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen. Neuer Hitzerekord in Deutschland. RKI meldet über 5000 Hitzetote in 🇩🇪. Die Bundesregierung so: lasst uns den Klimaschutz abschwächen und weiter mit Öl und Gas heizen! Haben diese Menschen noch Mitgefühl?

Despite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial. The government's in the process of p*ssing up to £264 billion into the ground, at the behest of the fossil fuel industry. Yes, £264 *billion*.

The great carbon capture con: behold the wasted billions Burnham could claw back | George Monbiot

"Kleines Rechenspiel am Schluss: Für diese Wahnsinnssumme könnte die Ministerin eine Million E-Autos verschenken. Die würden genau so viel CO2 sparen wie diese H2-Kraftwerke, wenn die denn mal mit H2 laufen" dirkspecht.substack.com/p/die-causa-...

Die "Causa Gaskraftwerke" ist ein Skandal

Ich neige nicht zu Kampfbegriffen, aber die „Causa Gaskraftwerke“ der Ministerin Reiche nähert sich juristischen, aber wohl nicht justiziablen Begriffen wie Korruption oder Veruntreuung.

Air conditioning has become the latest front in the energy culture war. Depending on who you ask, it is either wasteful excess we must resist or the only sensible response and anyone urging caution is a zealot. A few thoughts in this 🧵
