This saddens me on so many levels! Major damage to the UK academic sector, NHS, another message of welcome foreigners and not to mention all the families affected by this...

In light of the Prime Minister's recent announcement on the Government's 'new approach' to #NetZero, we drafted our own response in a blog post and discussed how this will impact the UK meeting its climate targets 👇🎯

💥 BREAKING 💥

Chris Packham legal challenge to Prime Minister over Net Zero 🌍

“The Prime Minister is playing populist politics with the future of life on Earth. Immoral, unethical and, we believe, illegal.” @ChrisGPackham

He has 7 days to respond ⌛️

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

🙏@damiengayle & @NiranjanAjit for covering my story of conscientious objection to flying @guardianeco. I find it ironic that a spokesperson stated @kielinstitute "support its employees in travelling in a climate-friendly manner." https://t.co/CR6qxvlOuP @fdabl @JKSteinberger

[Leo Hickman @LeoHickman]

BBC reporting that the current UK govt is going to water down its net-zero policies by - falsely - claiming that it "has over-delivered on confronting climate change"

No one - the CCC, IPCC, UN, scientists - has ever claimed that. Quite the opposite

Got any good ways to respond to tricky climate comments like these?

The @CAST_Centre will be publishing an online guide to creative and inspiring responses. We’d love to hear from you!

Writing about the Climate Stripes on #ShowYourStripes day, for my book 'The Visual Life of Climate Change'. Topical! The story of an iconic #climatechange visual just got even more interesting!

5 privileged thrill-seeking men pay £200k to view a sunken boat; navy, air force, coast guard, state air guard rescue, front page news

500 desperate safety-seeking people pay everything they have to risk a sunken boat; 100 kids dead, no rescue, news silent

Humanity is wrecked.
