@Alonso_GD Side point but I really hate the way he’s repeating this tired old cliche as if he thinks he’s a genius giving a sparkling fresh idea no one’s ever voiced before.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

This article says climate change is “believed to have played a role” in the UK's extreme heat this week.

As a climate scientist, let me fact-check that.

First, climate change is not a religion. No belief is required. It is about evidence.

And the evidence has been crystal clear for more than two decades: climate change is making heat waves hotter, longer, more frequent and more dangerous.

In fact, science has advanced far beyond saying climate change merely “played a role.” Today, we can quantify how much more likely and how much hotter climate change made a specific event.

Here's the bottom line:

Climate is changing. Humans are responsible. And we are experiencing the impacts now. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that solutions already exist, and the majority of people care - 89%, around the world!

But meaningful action depends on helping people understand not just what is happening: we need to know how it affects our lives (this heat wave being example A today) and what we can do about it.

That’s the opportunity this reporting missed.

@Jojosdojo Do you think the flying rodents stuff is sometimes depressingly defeatist

[Sean Jordan @Seanj87]

@OfSymbols It’s a really bad comparison anyway. Very different situations. And we have an example in Zack Polanski of people willing to work with him even after he was in the Lib Dem’s

[Sean Jordan @Seanj87]

@OfSymbols @novaramedia @AaronBastani He’d done a lot over the years after his time in government whatever anyone thinks of him. He did go on a journey. People can. He was involved in a lot of campaigns, and was fighting for leftwing causes, stuff that Burnham hasn’t done.

@AyoCaesar That is so typical of you Ash, to experience events in a linear fashion as they occur.

@supertanskiii Despite his endless dishonesty, his corruption, and his lack of ambition, he is also catastrophically unpopular.

[Sean Jordan @Seanj87]

@KateWilton1 He has supplied arms and intelligence to Israel as it commits war crimes in Gaza, he has legitimised Reform's anti immigrant rhetoric by saying immigration has done incalculable damage to the country, and he hasn't brought in any ambitious enough policies to meet this moment.

[Sean Jordan @Seanj87]

@dannywallace Except the real problem is extreme inequality, poverty, and the breakdown of social democracy. The problem really isn't about how 'competent' a government is, it's about whose interests this government represents.

[Sean Jordan @Seanj87]

@paulmasonnews @AyoCaesar You could just as easily say vote Labour, and you stop Greens from beating Reform. It cuts both ways.

@ChrisUKSharp The Apollo 11 debriefing is very interesting

[Sean Jordan @Seanj87]

@Alex_Niven If they do care about poverty, maybe they tell themselves ‘it’s bound to get a bit better for everyone surely’ and then just get on with the day

[Sean Jordan @Seanj87]

@Alex_Niven Life is good for them in terms of money, isn’t it.

“Is capitalism natural?”

This is a must-watch.

@NoJusticeMTG ‘The idea of Nigela Lawson cooking, cooking in a kitchen? And talking about it? Her? I just can’t imagine her doing that. It’s just not believable.’

@Shanice_OM Thanks for replu

@breadandposes @SamuraiApology I think the whole show is a contemplation on modern therapy as much as organised crime. Remember Melfi’s mentor who tells Carm she has to leave Tony if she’s to save herself, he explicitly derides what therapy in general has become.
