Tropical Storm #Nalgae made landfall today in Catanduanes, the Philippines. There are over 3 million people living in affected areas.

Five years ago, scientists talked about 'business as usual' warming between four and five degrees celsius. Now they talk about two to three. What does that jagged new world look like? A tour of life at 2C. (1/x) nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

This is absolutely superb journalism from @BBCRosAtkins
Based on available evidence, Brexit, in its current form, is one of the things constraining the growth of the UK's economy. Here's 5 mins on how we reached that conclusion. Watch the full edition of 'On the Week' on @BBCiPlayer here: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

“If you have found the past few years stressful and disorientating, if your life has already been disrupted, it is time to brace. Our tightrope walk with no end is only going to become more precarious and nerve-racking.”

Sunak can use the words but his actions tell the truth. Demoting COP Minister, appointing Coffey and not bothering with COP27. We see you @RishiSunak

HEALTH WARNING:
The government isn’t protecting you.
The media is distracting you.
The corporations are using you.
1.5C is as good as dead.
Civilisation is on course for collapse.
Billions will die.
And all the things society encourages you to do are making things worse.

Get a job, buy stuff, get a car, buy more stuff, travel the world, buy loads more stuff then get a mortgage so you have a house to put all the stuff in. And repeat.
The truth is, we exist only to maintain an economic system which is driving us toward imminent collapse.

NEW: Therese Coffey quietly announced this morning that the government is going to miss its own deadline for setting clean water, air and biodiversity targets.
Embarrassing as they were meant to be done by Oct 31 - in time to be discussed at COP27. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

The absolute worst day I’ve had in 15 years as a GP 😕 11 hours without a break, ambulance taking >90 min for a blue light response, abuse from patients (a minority, but still not nice to receive). #TeamGP urgently needs better funding and staffing.

Watched #BBCQuestionTime and had to listen to Julia Hartley-Brewer denying that climate change is an issue. The #bbcqt producers should remember the damage they caused consistently platforming Farage. Allowing someone to spread dangerous misinformation again is shameful.

This tiny chip contains a specially designed molecule that absorbs solar power and can store it up to 18 years.
We have so many solutions to address the #ClimateCrisis. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

You are not a scientist, and you are wrong.

I often say the most mind-bending fact about climate is that half of all emissions came in the last 25 years. Maybe even more startling: the weight of that carbon is more than the total mass of everything ever built by humans and still standing on earth. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

Where is the anger? Where is the uprising to force change here and then globally? Where is the care for our children? #climatecrisis

“I must say, in my professional life as a climate scientist, this is a low point. The window for 1.5C is shutting as I speak, so it’s really tough.” Important interview with @dpcarrington yesterday. We need to act now.
