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.

Technology for land transport & power generation has now tilted decisively in favour of this new era There is an imminent tipping point, when charging/refuelling & range anxiety (fading already for EVs) join economics in favouring EVs. Once petrol stations lose enough custom they will close down

Look after yourselves this week, in our record-breaking heat. And don't let this or any government backtrack on its climate commitments: both to prevent the worst and to help us adapt to the escalating impacts to which - unfortunately and infuriatingly - we are now committed. #35YearsOfFailure

I hope we're going to see many charges for incitement to racial hatred, incitement to violence and incitement to riot, all of which have been happening blatantly and prolifically on social media. Or will two-tier policing in the UK, favouring the right and the far right, prevail yet again?

They’ll need to get over their racism first… also makes me realize why certain circles were obsessed with “controlling” birth rates in Africa. Funny that….

Geoffrey Lean

How long before nations compete to attract not repel immigrants? With birth rates falling almost everywhere except Africa, aging populations will soon be crying out for the young people needed to keep their economies going. phys.org/news/2026-06...

Wildlife on bank notes: the Bank of England’s shortlist is out… Good to see White-tailed eagles on there - perhaps if enough of us vote for them, grouse moor owners will stop killing them? 🤔 @raptorpersuk.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/he...

The racism we're seeing across the right today is vile and dangerous but it's also a sign of desperation. Three parties all fighting over the votes of aging authoritarians.

Henry's brutal murder and the failures of the police have been appalling. His father's words are vital: "We don't want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

I mean, the *clean energy industry* exists and could start to push back any time it pleased.

Geoffrey Lean

A tragic disconnect. Polls show that 80-89% of the global public understand the climate crisis and want their governments to act, but policy is going backwards thanks to the fossil fuel industry, facing a threat to its survival, writes @fionaharvey.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'Melting ice has accelerated a process that destroys nitrate, the foundational fertiliser required for marine life to survive. The Arctic passed a critical ecological tipping point in 2009. The nutrient famine threatens the whole food chain from microscopic plankton to seabirds & marine mammals.'

Geoffrey Lean

Is a tipping point already upon us? A two-decade-long study has concluded that the melting of sea ice in the Arctic has a caused an ‘irreversible shift’ in ocean chemistry which disturbs the foundation of its web of life. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/arctic-...
