BREAKING:
Huge news:
The contents of a secret U.K. Govt report on Britain’s ‘critical systems’ and their grave vulnerability have just now been made public by the TIMES, for the very first time.
The report was stark in its findings, incl crucially:
“Britain’s food security…could be “at strategic risk of catastrophic failure” by 2030”.
Food was only one of the critical systems analysed in the report and found to be at risk of collapse from the end of the decade, >unless< collectively we change course to a safer, more resilient path.

NEW BLOG: "By being informed and informing others – and by knowing how we can work together to make ourselves more resilient – we can protect ourselves against the climate breakdown our governments continue to ignore."

Those who celebrate @elonmusk's $1 trillion fortune need to be reminded of a simple and vital truth:
That there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy.
Region Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperatures are in record territory, approaching 3 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean, an anomaly that has never happened before in recorded history.
The Climate 8-ball says: "four!"
May 2026 was the 2nd hottest May on record globally. With “Godzilla” El nino brewing in the Pacific, could 2026 become the hottest year ever?..and 2027 even hotter? If this trend continues, the risks of drought, crop failures and food shortages could rise dramatically.
I thought that if Israeli soldiers or settlers attacked Christian villages, the Christian world would unite in their millions in condemnation that their sacred sites were being burnt and erased.
BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York.
Apartheid without borders.
P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.
Hold on to your rice paddies, NASA satellites are detecting a major sea-level rise across the tropical Pacific as the Super El Niño rapidly strengthens. If forecasts verify, late 2026 /2027 will see extreme floods and crops impacted. The climate system is sending another warning.
Still time to register for this event in #StratfordUponAvon on Sunday (14th). I'll be talking about resilience and adaptation in my speech on the final day of this year's Great Big Green Week.

Suppressed civil servant report warns: without urgent change, our water & food systems risk catastrophic failure.
The Water Bill must force companies to build long-term climate resilience.
"There is nothing more serious than whether we are going to be able to feed ourselves."
Adrian Ramsay MP on LBC, calling for the full release of a government-commissioned report warning Britain's food and water systems could face catastrophic failure without urgent action.

In May, the 36-month running average for "global total column precipitable water" set a new record high ... for the 20th month in a row.
