I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

The video shows a child collecting the body parts of another child after Israel bombed tents near the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. 2 killed and 8 injured in the new strike. 18 Palestinians killed in multiple strikes on Gaza since early hours of Sunday. Video: حسام شبات via X (@HossamShabat)

One of the most striking aspects of Cassandra's myth isn't that nobody believes her when she predicts disaster. It's that, once disaster comes to pass, everyone blames her, as if she somehow caused it simply by warning them. Funny... that reminds me of something. What was it again?

"How bad does a state have to be for 50,000 people to choose to take the first opportunity to leave? The Moroccan monarchy isn’t worth a single drowned Moroccan, and it must be overthrown."

Some thoughts on the ceuta ‘incident’ www.hauntologies.net/p/on-ceuta

The #Ulm5 are being made an example of by a political system that is openly comfortable with bending or even ignoring the law for purpose of punishing anyone willing to protest against Israel’s genocide ulm5.info/en/news/2026...

🎯 @jksteinberger.bsky.social: "What I remember is all the climate denying trolls in 2018-19 making fun of Greta, FFF, @xrglobal.bsky.social and all of climate science for saying we had less than 10 years to massively reduce emissions or else. Well. They won the inaction they wanted. Or else.👇"

HISTORIC RECORD HEAT EVERYWHERE We are gonna live historic days which will be remembered for generations: Thousands of records will be pulverized at the same time in North,South (40C in winter again !) Americas,Asia and Europe. Stay tuned. It will be an absolute insanity.

I really need everyone to remember that the fossil fuel industry knew-knows exactly the climate hell we now inhabit, and are determined to make it FAR worse. That's because they have decided our lives are worth far less than their profits. We are not angry -or organised- enough.

"Their pursuit of profits over people is a stark reminder that the value of human life is often weighed against the bottom line. Can our collective outrage and determination ultimately outweigh the industry's financial interests?"

1/ Kemi Badenoch says she isn't a climate denier. Let's take her at her word. Here are five findings she wrote around this week as though they don't exist. 🧵

I was not informed by the BBC that they would have a right wing political figure or lobbyist on after me to rebut what I said. The individual in question went on to spout lies about China, etc. to distract attention from the Trump administration's assault on climate action. This is unacceptable.

I'll be on BBC News television TODAY ~3:40pm ET (8:40pm London local time) to discuss--what else---the climate change-fueled weather extremes we're seeing around the world this summer. Please join me: www.bbc.com/live

It is putting it mildly to describe these people as a death cult.

Hi @yougov.co.uk, you left off the correct answer which is "This will be one of the coolest summers of the rest of our lives and they will keep getting hotter and hotter until we stop burning fossil fuels".

I designed this yesterday (firstly just for myself, out of anger, now I postet it on Insta). Maybe I will print some posters.

Remember when climate scientists said we should massively and rapidly reduce fossil fuel & meat emissions, or else? Or else 👇

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Organic eggs have worse impact on climate than eggs from caged chickens

Adopting organic free-range model in UK could lead to greenhouse emissions equivalent to 2,316,000 tonnes of CO2, study suggests

Didn't think I'd ever see it but finally some responsible framing of the story. It really is that simple: we need to stop burning fossil fuels. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

'Just stop burning fossil fuels.' Scientists stress that our smoky skies only have one true fix | CBC News

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy.

How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global Policy

BP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.
