Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness

Burnham promises ‘pragmatic’ approach to North Sea oil and gas

PM tells reporters the government cannot ignore the energy resource ‘when people are struggling’

NEW: Players and fans face increased heat danger at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, since USA '94. Our results show that from Miami to Kansas City, climate change is increasing the risk of playing the World Cup in much of the northern hemisphere during summer. (1/2)

A heat dome in north America is producing record-shattering March temperatures, made even more deadly by human-caused warming. A super-rapid study from @wwattribution.bsky.social shows the risk of temperatures as high as these is now four times what it was just a decade ago 😱

A chart showing the seasonal cycle of daily maximum temperatures averaged over a large part of the western US (smoothed over a running 5-day mean). The average seasonal cycle from 1950-1979 (what we used to expect) is shown in blue, and the average from 1996-2025 (what we expect now) is in red. The red line is always above the blue line, and in March is several degrees higher. A black line shows the temperatures recorded this year, which reached more than ten degrees C above what we would expect in March, a level described by scientists as 'what the frickadoodles?'

RAPID ANALYSIS: It would be ‘virtually impossible’ for the record-breaking March heat currently scorching the U.S. West to occur without climate change. We are seeing summer-like temperatures arrive exceptionally early from the Pacific to the Rockies this week. 🧵1/4
