Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️

43°F above average in Antarctica.
The Southern hemisphere is the warmest it's ever been this time of year in all of human history.

[Will Payne @WilliamThePayne]

No matter what you think of Just Stop Oil, a five year sentence for a non-violent protest is disgustingly authoritarian. This kind of sentence has no place in a modern free democracy. A shameful day for our country and our freedoms.

Global surface temperatures from @BerkeleyEarth are now out for June. It was the warmest June on record for land, oceans, and the globe as a whole by a sizable margin (~0.14C), and came in at 1.6C above preindustrial levels.https://t.co/z7qNwZIuqS

@ColinBrazierTV What a tragic and childish response. Do you not value the freedoms our democracy enshrines? Or should anyone who doesn't abide by your archaic traditions be punished?

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

This will become increasingly common and increasingly severe. It is caused by the fossil fuel industry, whose executives and lobbyists have been lying and bribing for decades to stop any meaningful action.

While I'm delighted to see the back of the Tories, this election should remind us that our electoral system is not fit for purpose. It should not be possible to achieve a massive majority on a minority of the vote.

[Will Payne @WilliamThePayne]

If you’re getting angry at just stop oil for protesting, and not our leaders for failing to act on the climate crisis, then you’re likely part of the problem. Complicit in the destruction of our future. And firmly on the wrong side of history.

[Will Payne @WilliamThePayne]

@Unplugnukes If we want to solve climate change we need nuclear energy. Crackpots like you are only endangering the future of our planet with your stupidity.

[Richard Kirby @PlanktonPundit]

The saddest compilation video I have ever made. But perhaps also the most positive if it causes a reduction in plastic pollution in 2024. In once pristine seas, every nearshore plankton sample I now collect contains plastic microfibers. (Sound On) @zeiss_micro

Abrupt global ocean circulation collapse. Time to start prepping?

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Everyone should read this letter.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

Our favorite planet has now seen 20 days in a row breaking the modern-day record high-temperature of 16.924°C (62.46°F) set on July 24, 2022.

This global heatwave is likely the hottest 20-day stretch in the last 100,000+ years.

[Shelly M @ShellyAsquith]

Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards

So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart

[Will Payne @WilliamThePayne]

A prime example of the police making it explicit what their true purpose is. It is not to keep you and I safe, but to protect the powerful from the public.

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

Operation Golden Orb is one of the most significant and largest security operations the Met has led.

On Coronation Day we will have the largest one day mobilisation of officers seen in decades with over 11,500 officers on duty.

29,000+ deployments during the operation.
