Deeply disappointing to see Libdem leader now supporting more drilling in the North Sea - it will add to global volume of climate emissions, drive climate breakdown & send a dangerous signal to the rest of the world
Sir Ed Davey says Jackdaw gas field 'makes sense' as decision looms for government
A consultation on the gas field - located 150 miles northeast of Aberdeen - closed last month, with the prime minister set to make a decision.

Probably one of the greatest speeches on kindness and intelligence ever given! 👏👏👏 [SOUND ON 🔊]
This sign from Just Stop Oil’s latest protest in the UK really hit home for me that the powers that be, in thrall to fossil fuel industry overlords, are trying so hard to quash the message - that we need to be on a war footing to decarbonise and STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS.
New tourist advert for Wales! Just kidding - it’s a print I got from artist WeFail, which I found particularly poignant after the destructive wildfires across Wales the last few months. Highly recommended artist - website here: wefail.art
Really silly to see people grasping at straws against the reality of global climate change by still using examples from July 1936 (or 1976). The reality is increasingly obvious. Graphics are from slides in a presentation of mine, which use NASA/GISS GISTEMPv4 data (and their 1951-1980 baseline).
The UK partial eclipse was fun. During the full eclipse back in 1990 it was particularly eerie because as the darkness fell, all the birds suddenly went quiet. That wasn’t as obvious this time because there are far fewer birds these days.
Remember folks, when viewing the eclipse, don’t let the orange c*** f*** up your eyes.

The Massive Climate Lie That Will Destroy Human Civilization
Thinking we have time left to address climate change, or that “Net Zero by 2050” will save us, is driving us toward full social collapse in ways that become more obvious with every new broken temperat...

I snagged a 1943 edition of Coleridge’s ‘The Ancient Mariner’, illustrated beautifully by Mervyn Peake! Iron Maiden fans will recognise verses below. What’s it about? As Dickinson says, “This is what NOT to do if a bird shits on you!” Basically, treat nature well or it’ll bite you on yer arse!!
Blimey, it took me ages to figure out how to remove the battery from this carbon monoxide thingy. Hopefully my headache will go away now I’ve stopped that shrill beeping!
If a climate scientist like @clairbarnes.bsky.social from @wwattribution.bsky.social says it's extremely scary how climate change is intensifying hot, dry, flammable conditions conducive to wildfires, you should probably be worried.
‘Extremely scary findings’ show climate crisis is supercharging Europe’s wildfire weather
Latest study says global heating has made hot, dry and windy conditions in Spain at least 20 times more likely

Trusted climate information should be easy to find, easy to use, and hard to erase. Climate.us is a new independent nonprofit resource built to keep trusted climate information accessible, accurate, and useful. #ClimateForUs #ClimateUS
Trump shut down Climate(.)gov so the scientists set this up! Give them a follow.
Climate.us@climate.us · 3mo agoPublic trust in climate information is hard-won, something we understand as former members of the Climate(.)gov team. For our launch, @katharinehayhoe.com shared why she believes Climate.us is worthy of that trust, and why she'll be sending people here for years to come. #ClimateUS #ClimateForUs 🌍🧪
It's very sad that the United States, with perhaps the best climate science, scientists, and science communicators in the world, has consistently had the very worst climate-denying politicians and governments. Why? Simple: The powerful fossil-fuel industry and the money they shower on policymakers.
The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.
GIVEAWAY! Dead Weight is coming out next week and to celebrate I'm giving away two copies that have been personally bitten by Uggi and will be personally signed by me and shipped to the winners wherever they live! To enter just like and share this post and I'll select the winners on May 26th!
Very cool version of this monthly global average surface temperature anomaly chart showing both El Niño and La Niña years
Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany warned that if deforestation, which decreased in 2025, increases again, the Amazon could suffer “widespread rainforest dieback” and cross a tipping point in the 2030s. By @alecluhn.com for @NewScientist.com
Deforestation could trigger Amazon tipping point in the 2030s
At least 15 per cent of the Amazon has already been lost, and further destruction could unleash widespread rainforest dieback with as little as 1.5°C of global warming

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.
I think a few strongly worded emails to the BBC are in order!!
Leo Hickman@leohickman.carbonbrief.org · 5mo agoThe BBC News homepage has now COMPLETELY removed its Climate section?! It has now been relegated to a sub-menu via the "More" button in the right-hand corner.
The Scottish Greens are on FIRE!! Check out this representative up against a Reform candidate!!

Climate removed from top level navigation on BBC News.
It has just been so blindingly obvious for so long.
The crew of Artemis II are returning home. Quick, everyone put on your ape costumes. We are talking jape of the decade. We are talking April, May, June, July and August fool!
