We are in a climate & nature emergency. Our current path leads to mass suffering & death. For many, that is the reality NOW. @climate-jane.bsky.social

Scrapping early warnings won’t stop collapse. We’ll just know less about the how and when. We already know WHY.

[Volcaholic 🌋 @volcaholic1]

At a time when ocean temperatures are smashing records and scientists are still trying to understand how fast the system is shifting under climate change, they are talking about scrapping a 368 million dollar early warning network that has ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR by tax payers.

This is not just a few sensors in the sea. It is a network of ~900 instruments measuring temperature, currents, carbon, chemistry and ecosystem change. It was designed to deliver long term data over decades.

This would effectively end key long running records and that matters because ocean data only becomes powerful over time. You cannot rebuild a continuous climate record once it is interrupted.

The hottest Spring (by far) since records began 367 yrs ago…. NOT JUST ‘weather’!

[Met4Cast - UK Weather @Met4CastUK]

Spring 2026 was the warmest since records began 367 years ago.

It didn’t just slightly break the previous record, it broke it but quite a large margin.

The UK government is colluding with Israel to imprison its own citizens. Four young people could soon be sentenced as “terrorists” despite no such conviction.

What is “terrorist connection” sentencing?
It’s a scandal.

Israel has been gradually expanding its "kill zone" in Gaza. Its army has now officially seized 70% of the territory. In a few months, 2 million Palestinians will be crushed into 20% of Gaza. Then 10%.

The "ceasefire" is a cover for genocide, not an end to it.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

Everyone should watch this speech.

"The irony of accepting an award for covering a genocide in the very country that enables that genocide should not be lost."

AJ Faultlines documentary, Kids Under Fire, won "Outstanding War or Violence Conflict Coverage" at the 2026 News #Emmys in New York City yesterday.

Josh Rushing dedicated the award to journalists killed by Israeli forces.

“When is the British government going to impose sanctions on Israel for its endless violations of international law?”

48.2°C in Uttar Pradesh.
44.4°C in Delhi.

Every single one of the world's 50 hottest cities last month were in India. All 50.

Average peak 44.7°C. The coolest on the list would be a public health emergency in Europe. And El Niño hasn't even arrived yet.

[Met Office @metoffice]

We’ve provisionally broken the UK record for the highest May minimum temperature for the third night in a row 🌡️

Camborne only fell to 21.4°C overnight, making for another ‘tropical night’ (above 20°C).

Meanwhile, Loch Glascarnoch in Scotland dropped to 1.1°C

4 Billion Dead

We’ve passed +1.5°C . +2.4°C is now unstoppable. Recent projections show we’re on track to reach +3.0°C by 2050, billions will die by mass migration due to unlivable heat, agriculture collapse, social upheaval, and war.Find out more at https://t.co/X9gCsSbtkA

A new report warns that Britain is undergoing a “deeply troubling transformation” in how it treats political protest as climate and pro-Palestine campaigners increasingly face lengthy prison sentences, sweeping legal restrictions and jail before trial.

[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.

As a recent political prisoner, I welcome the report. It’s no surprise to me. The repression is systematic & calculated.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

BREAKING

A NEW report that examines the rise of Political Prisoners in Britain has now been published in full.

“It is a wake up call to the authorities to change course and pursue a more proportionate response.”

Today is now the hottest day in May on record for both England and Wales with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 35.1°C and Cardiff Bute Park reaching 32.9°C 🌡️

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

A huge heat dome is sitting over France, with temperatures that might hit 40°C. It’s still spring. It’s still May. What was once considered “extreme” is increasingly becoming normal across Europe. Heatwaves are earlier, longer, & pushing ecosystems and health beyond limits.

[Jane from Rochdale 🍉 @climate_jane]

Climate breakdown. The UK’s infrastructure will not be able to cope with what’s coming.

[Met Office @metoffice]

Today has been the hottest day in May on record with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 34.8°C - exceeding the previous highest May temperature in the UK by a full 2 degrees Celsius🌡️

This heat would be exceptional in the UK even in mid summer, let alone in May📈

[Steve Howell @FromSteveHowell]

Queen Mary University researchers have identified 286 cases involving climate and Palestine-solidarity activists who were sent to prison for protesting for a total jail time of 136 years.

If this was in another country, wouldn't we call it authoritarian? https://t.co/4ndUyEfVe9

[Jane from Rochdale 🍉 @climate_jane]

This is only the beginning.

[Volcaholic 🌋 @volcaholic1]

This kind of heat would be extreme in the UK even in the middle of summer, never mind May.

Kew Gardens has provisionally hit 34.8°C today, making it the hottest May day ever recorded in the UK and smashing the previous record by around 2°C.

But apparently we’re all just “overreacting” again.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

Criminalisation of climate protesters in UK is counterproductive, research finds

Study of 1,300 campaigners finds arrests, fines and jail terms increase determination of activists to take direct action
