Wanstead Climate Action

Friendly group of locals pushing for action on the climate and ecological emergency. Any thing, any time, any place... but mostly Wanstead, London E11.

@WansteadClimate 27/5/2005 max was 32.1C
25/5/2026 max was 33.4C
Today max (so far) 35.3C - so over 3C hotter than the 2005 figure!!

[Wanstead weather @wanstead_meteo]

34.7C now which also beats the June max record, a whole month before that was set in 1976! #YeahBut1976

[Wanstead Climate Action @WansteadClimate]

@wanstead_meteo And this May beats previous Wanstead years' record (2005) by 2.6 °C, correct?

(Also this heatwave covers a much wider area than June 1976. Nights are expected to warm faster than days.)

New research on Scotland's Dava Moor Fire - described as the UK's first "megafire" - shows how unusually dry conditions contributed to an intense, fast-spreading wildfire.

The UK uses less energy than almost anyone anticipated 20 years ago, but opportunities to act on this potential were largely missed 🌎

Temp topped out at 33.4C in the end, a new record, eclipsing the old one by over a degree

[Wanstead weather @wanstead_meteo]

32.6C now - is a new record max for this area. Quite a few other local records probably going today.

[National Emergency Briefing @nebriefing]

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here.
But the solutions exist.

Across the UK, communities are watching The People’s Emergency Briefing & discussing what to do next.

@nebriefing @BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News @5_News That's a lot of local press, but I've not seen any national feature yet.

Hope broadcasters are talking to each other about the #emergencybriefing.

[Wanstead Climate Action @WansteadClimate]

@cashandcarrots @nebriefing In what way? Do you see any problem with the Paul Behrens presentation on food security, or Tessa Khan on energy?

@ChamberChump @marconeats @PGDynes It is potentially a very bad combination. ECIU here was already predicting high food inflation this year https://t.co/e0E1JxuanW

A super El Niño threatens droughts and flooding on top. https://t.co/eLUO2d6Zeo

Suspect many animals may be slaughtered when feed goes for humans.

Sewage problems in River Roding, caused partly by illegal outfalls near Ilford, including in its tributary Alders Brook in Aldersbrook are in latest Private Eye.
I recently saw a big write-up for Redbridge Council's plans to transform the river - date 2005. They're talking still.

BREAKING: Shell made £5BN+

Over twice last Q1.

It’s blood money.

Blood from the collapse of our systems - weather, seas, ice, rivers & forests.

Blood from the victims of war in Iran.

While our bills, food costs & fuel prices rise; we burn, and Shell make bank.

I need 100,000 signatures to win a parliamentary debate about the ownership of the water industry.

Do your thing internet.

Declaring a nature emergency is only the first step for Redbridge Council https://t.co/tuXzJ2bBHY @CalvinBailey @CllrSadiq @MayorofLondon @Emma4Wanstead @WansteadClimate @FWP2009 @BBCLondonNews @itvnews @JoeHehir3 @joblackman_ @OLOLE11 @wans

Our January meeting at Wanstead House is tonight. We're delighted to welcome Redbridge Arboricultural Manager Peter Marshall, who will be discussing how to care for trees on council land.
