If academia cannot critically reflect upon its role in perpetuating the climate and ecological crisis, then where else can those discussions take place?
@DFDSLiveUpdates Good morning. What’s going on with the Newcastle- Amsterdam crossing, which I’m on? Seems to be a big delay. Will there be a DFDS bus from the ferry to Amsterdam central, and if so, what time?
The National Emergency Briefing

Today the 2025 State of the Cryosphere report was published by over 50 leading cryosphere scientists.
An urgent warning about the global consequences of the meltdown of ice, including the risk of shutdown of the Atlantic Ocean current system #AMOC. 🌊

In 2021, the Gov warned we “could lose control of our climate for good” beyond 1.5°C.
Now, the CCC says “prepare for 2°C by 2050”
A huge shift in just 4 years.
It’s vital all MPs are briefed on what this means for the UK.
Is your MP attending?

British public vastly overestimates cost of getting to net zero - by a staggering 14,000%.
On average, they estimate it will need 28% of GDP by 2050, compared to just 0.2%.
We need a National Emergency Briefing

This is the problem - renewables not replacing fossil fuels but complementing them
We need emissions to at least halve within 50 months, but they continue to head upwards
Our prospects are truly dismal

Would be marvellous to be in touch with you all again 😄👍
@ProfBillMcGuire for all things climate, volcanoes and more
British scientists are mapping Trump’s authoritarianism.
A fantastic answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with lawless behaviour.
It’s a one-stop-shop for logging the lot. And the meta-analysis is darkly enlightening….

Proud to be amongst this wonderful group of scientists telling our personal stories of psychological survival in the face of denial, disinformation, deflection, disavowal, deception and delusion https://t.co/0nOMSL5duu
The U.K. is not in any way ‘leading the way’ with this dangerous foray into uncharted territory, it is leading us all astray, and this geoengineering madness must be halted.

“Let’s be clear, this is not a ‘nice to have’ target – it is an essential if we are to prevent tens of thousands of species’ extinctions, and maintain the services that intact nature provides”

Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

See you there!
This is the kind of messaging that the media needs to lead with. Public responses portrayed by the media thus far suggest low levels of understanding of the role of climate breakdown in fuelling and worsening these wildfires.
I discussed the climate change-fueled Southern California wildfires and the disinformation that Trump & enablers are promoting about them last night with @SRuhle on @MSNBC@11thHour:
