So @RyannairRyan your cabin staff FR8776 STD are way more focused on flogging off cheap duty free than on safety, and then the plane slams the runway @ Limoges. Dire.
@GarfieldUtd@MartinSLewis@tomato_energy As ever Martin (was the same when Utilita was a small new entrant in 2004)the pcw's ignore the great deals with small suppliers, because these suppliers won't pay them enough if a kick back for switching people.
@pipoceanracing Pip - so sad to learn your race is over and in such a brutal way.
Doubtless though, the seed of your next adventure has been down by this adversity and you will come back ever more brilliant than you have already proven yourself to be. Safe sail to harbour.
Depressing news from radio four on Your Farm: the anti-parasite medicines farmers give to livestock are killing dung beetles vital for recycling waste into soil. @NFUtweets@SoilAssociation also medicines for dogs are killing wildlife on #Hampsteadheath
💬From the global north’s vantage point, the #ClimateCrisis [...] has long been seen as a distant threat.
This misconception has perpetuated a false sense of security."

I was recently recorded answering three questions:
1) Why are we facing a climate emergency?
2) Are scientists transparent when reporting results on climate change?
3) Will the commitments about carbon emissions be enough?

Unbelievably, there is at least a 40% chance of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) collapsing within 25 years. We could be facing impacts similar to the Younger Dryas period - within the lifetimes of most people alive today. #Climate#Mitigation is Urgent.
Devastating analysis.
Quite possibly game-changing news.
Must hope - though hard to believe - the political class will heed or respond to this effectively. https://t.co/TU2FlxGIoE

Sometimes migration can be as small as a warbler and other times it can be epic!
Enjoy the nature moments
all of them, big or small!!

Most academics I've spoken with (apart from those close to oil & gas companies) do not see the UK Govt's £22 billion CCS plan as a wise & Paris-compliant investment, yet few speak out directly. In his inimitable style @GeorgeMonbiot fills the void: https://t.co/Bdtoyj213k
Big call from NGOs and trade unions for the Treasury to fund dedicated just transition efforts for fossil fuel industry workers. https://t.co/7sYUHe3PQB
Hurricane #Milton underwent EXTREME rapid intensification, with max sustained wind speed increasing 90 mph in just 25hrs.
Warming oceans, due to human-caused climate change, are fueling stronger tropical cyclones.
Hurricane Milton intensifies further with sustained winds now up to 180 mph and central pressure down to 905 mb.
You are looking at one of the strongest hurricanes ever observed in the Atlantic basin.
#Milton is a historically powerful Category 5 storm in the Gulf of Mexico.
A rapid attribution study determined that the anomalously hot ocean temperatures under Milton's track were made up to 400-800x more likely by climate change over the past 2 weeks /1
As physicist John Holdren, former US Science Advisor, once said about climate change, “We basically have three choices: mitigation, adaptation and suffering. We’re going to do some of each. The question is what the mix is going to be. The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required and the less suffering there will be.”
This is an incredible rainfall chart.
Some areas of central southern England saw more than 350% of the September average rainfall.
Bedfordshire & Oxfordshire recorded their wettest month ever recorded, dating back at least 188 years.
