Climate change and sometimes other stuff.

So it turns out my idea of an exciting evening is drinking tea in bed watching #ParisAgreement ratifications in Twitter

Its now official: July was the warmest July on record by a huge margin in @CopernicusECMWF's ERA5 dataset, beating the prior record (set in 2019) by 0.33C. It was between 1.5C and 1.6C above preindustrial levels (depending on the dataset used to estimate pre-1950 temperatures).

New analysis from @opsis reveals the multi-billion-dollar risk to economic activity from climate extremes affecting ports. International trade will be hit by impacts of climate catastrophes on ports, which will spread through supply chains https://t.co/WZVjqCoYdD.

@TennantReed TENNANT HOW DO YOU FIT THE MEMES IN AMONG THE ANALYSIS AND THE SPREADSHEETS AND THE COOKING IT IS STARTING TO FRIGHTEN ME

[Olivia Kember @OfKember]

@TennantReed Basically I think more geopolitical scrutiny of the changes in energy dynamics necessitated by decarbonisation is warranted. There's a tendency to do climate-related scenario analysis against a backdrop of stable geopolitics that makes less and less sense.

[Olivia Kember @OfKember]

@TennantReed Maybe no other energy suppliers will repeat Russia's mistake. But having the capacity to wield power through energy supply strength means there's always the temptation and threat to use it.

@swintersections This is such a good article. I got so much help (pills, therapy, caregiving) for my post-natal anxiety, and it was still hands-down the worst year of my life. I can’t fathom how we expect people to do it alone.

@dbseymour Have you ever tried to feed kids lunch? It’s incredibly hard to avoid waste.

[Olivia Kember @OfKember]

@TennantReed “Pre-whingeing” is such a useful term. Make fetch happen!

@GMegalogenis I’m curious why he doesn’t seem to face more open rebellion among what’s left of the moderate wing. Normally I’d assume they would see that as career-limiting behaviour but by your thesis his behaviour is limiting everyone’s careers much more.

@HughSaddler @lyrebird1 @MondayStory I’m so sorry! Hugh was very kind and helpful when I was a beginner energy policy analyst at the Climate Institute. He was always so generous with his knowledge and time! My condolences to his family.

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain.

@cjoye Different fonts is a nice trick!

@RadioFreeTom Unless you’ve dropped off the fox and are going back with the grain to get the chicken.

[Olivia Kember @OfKember]

Depressing but good read. You can’t reduce supply unless you reduce demand.

So maybe Jeremy Strong was right all along

@LukeMenzel @EECouncil @rmurrayleach OMG so sad and exciting

[Ajit Niranjan @NiranjanAjit]

climate people: what are the best examples of policies that make it easier for people to lead cleaner lives and why? looking for a mix of "this would be great if we tried it" and "this country did it and it worked" for every sector
