In June 1966, scientist James Lovelock warned Shell in a confidential memo of “the almost certain fact that the climate is worsening and the probability that the combustion of fuel is responsible.” Shell would later become "a founding member of the denialist Global Climate Coalition." 😑
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.
Roasting! Heathrow recently reporting 35C (95F) just after 3pm this is 7th day this year in UK we have seen these temperatures. From 1977 to 1989 nowhere in UK saw 35C, if you omit 1976 you could go back to 1958. Over 30 consecutive years. Now it’s every other year….

AI advice made people 3 times less accurate but twice as confident Willingness to say "I don't know" collapsed from 44% to 3% when AI was available AI advice suppresses people’s willingness to say “I don’t know”, even when the advice is wrong and accuracy is incentivized🧪 osf.io/preprints/ps...
Democracy only works when people have access to the facts. That's why I'm supporting @ChrisGPackham's petition calling for a UK-wide public briefing on climate and nature risks. Help us reach 100,000 signatures: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...
A clip from a freight train stopped in a wildfire near Armstrong, Ontario. Thankfully, the crew escaped safely. Wildfire is nothing new but the burning of fossil fuels is making them larger, more frequent and severe.

Interviewer, "How will you represent the people of Clacton if you win the election?" Count Binface, "I won't. As far as I'm aware that's a requirement of the job." Comedy gold.🤣🤣🤣 #bbcbreakfast
Mentally, one of the most difficult things about modern life is watching the planet burn, understanding why it's burning but having swathes of people with the analytical powers of a tree frog influenced by Big Petro to genuinely believe it's a hoax
