I'm a meteorologist. Let me kill this one personally.
Weather and climate are different math problems.

Weather is chaos... tiny errors blow up, so we top out around 10 days. Climate is statistics... the boundaries of the system under known physics.

I can't tell you if it'll rain in Boston three Tuesdays from now. I can tell you July will beat January every single year. One is a coin flip. The other is knowing 1,000 flips land near 500.

And "a degree or two is nothing"? The last ice age, a mile of ice over Chicago, was only ~6°C colder than today. We're ~1.4°C warmer in 170 years. That's not modest. That's geologically violent.

The physics doesn't care about your wind turbine aesthetics.

@robertrea @FlickRea Such a wonderful woman. So dreadfully sorry for your loss - a loss to all of us. But an amazing legacy.

[Robert Rea @robertrea]

She was one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever known, an amazing mother with a fierce loyalty and love for her family, and someone who created a deep affection among her many friends and those who knew her. I’m sure my sister Kate and I will not be alone in missing her deeply

[Robert Rea @robertrea]

She was leader of the Lib Dem group on Camden Council from 1986-2005 and 2014-2020. After she retired she was made an honorary alderman of the borough. She was awarded an MBE in 2013 for her work in local politics and was once dubbed “the Queen of West Hampstead”

[Robert Rea @robertrea]

I’m very sad to have to say that my mother @FlickRea ,who served with distinction as the Liberal Democrat councillor for Fortune Green ward on Camden Council for 35 years until her retirement in 2021, died early this morning at the age of 88. She’d been ill for some time.

[Mr M R Brewer @mrmrbrewer]

A disgrace - good councillors from across politics lost their seats in these elections so that populism can take these seats for granted.

[Cllr Iain Gall @GallIain]

This is getting ridiculous. People standing who don’t understand the seriousness of the task and also the privilege of being elected by the electorate. Such a lack of respect and becoming more common.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Zack Polanski and his partner called their narrowboat their “amazing home” for three years. He registered to vote there.

If it was his main residence, council tax was due. None was paid.

His team says he stayed there only “occasionally” - if true, there's a very big problem.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

We all know the best way to deliver the economic growth that this country desperately needs: a closer relationship with Europe. Yet the PM's reset plan is far too unambitious.

Leading Labour leadership contenders, including Andy Burnham, Angela Rayner and Wes Streeting, should put the country first and commit to fixing our broken relationship with Europe if they enter Number 10.

Respect to council officers on Monday, explaining that the council can't spend cycle lane money on potholes, there is no asylum seeker budget, and free parking means more cuts on top of the already slated cuts.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

We’re the party that rolls up our sleeves and gets things done in our communities.

We beat Labour and the Conservatives in last years local election and we'll do it again.

@LisaSmartMP

[Matthew Green @MatthewGreen02]

Oh dear, the Conservatives are racing to irrelevance. Asked to name well-run Conservative councils, Kemi Badenoch names councils, none of which are run by the #Conservatives, instead they’re run by the #LibDems.
Even the Conservatives know LibDems run Councils better.
#ukpolitics

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

When Liberal Democrat councils are doing this well, it’s no surprise even Kemi Badenoch wants a share of the credit.

“When you have someone like Elon Musk who has called for the overthrow of the British Government… I think we should take action”

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey sets out his party’s plan to “protect our democracy and get Trump, Musk and Putin out our politics.”
