“If we had a 40C rise in the UK now that would take temperatures for a spring day to over 50C – and that would be deadly for the population.” Yup.
>The Antarctic has just experienced exactly that rise.<
…I’m scared. And sad. (You?)

Worst April heat wave in Asian history ongoing in more than a dozen countries
44.0C in Pakistan,43.5C in India,43.4C at Lampang in Thailand,0.1C from its all time record,43.3C in Myanmar,41.7C in Bangladesh,42C in Central Asia.
Also hottest day on records at Sayabouri,Laos.
I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed…
@peter_levy Crazy to get rid of #Lincoln#christmas#market just need to extend it over 2 to 4 weeks to reduce everyone arriving at once. Can’t destroy something so successful
Please don’t allow the government to convince you the NHS is unfit for purpose. We’re not failing, we’re being failed.
HOW can they have allowed the vacancy rate to soar so stratospherically?
Clearly they want us to fail.
Don’t stand for it. Help us to help you - please. Ends/

We’ve had a great time at Flemingate today, with entertainment provided by The Bay Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Jenny Bray, @rachel_makena & @RambleGambleuk!
Humans destroy their habitats & remove their food sources & when they get too close to tourists they are killed for no justification. Shame on Norway 🇳🇴 for killing Freya the Walrus
In memory of #Freya - the wandering Walrus that graced us here Shetland last winter.
MURDERED today by the Directorate of Fisheries in #Norway because she was perceived as a "continued threat to human safety".
Abhorrent and unforgivable on every level.
We are in the midst of yet another Covid wave.
Prevalence is high and rising. The latest ONS infection survey suggests that over 5.% of people across the UK are currently infected – more than one in every 19 people.

THREAD on why "living with" frequent mass Covid infections is a BAD IDEA (& what we can do!):
There is a negative feedback cycle for transmission & *each time* we go through it in a wave we damage our people, our NHS and our economy a bit more.
let me show you how... 1/17
Covid: hospitals fight sickness and backlogs as latest wave hits UK...
"the wisdom of watering down infection control procedures and removing face masks now looks decidedly lacking"
