A thank you for me for making what was originally a depressing list into a much more alarming one. I am always intrigued by the way data presentation can be so impactful (e.g. Climate Stripes).

I have opinions about this. The main one would be that Roger Pielke Jr. is acting like a bit of a twat.

I was going to show you the 'cats imitating their owners' limps' compilation videos but you've seen everything. The phrase 'Know Thyself' springs to mind, because I'm great company for myself. Philosophers think it has deep meaning, really it refers to at which point you add milk to your tea.

Probably preaching to the choir here but I still remember when British Petroleum invented the concept of 'carbon footprint' and note how fossil fuel companies prefer the term natural gas. Next week: natural coal; natural cyanide. Can't wait for an acrobatic accountant to invent carbon credits.

I'm confused, aren't there still around 84 days left in 2025 or are we looking at 365 day periods each ending on September 30th?

If you’re a journalist writing about a certain piece of UK climate policy news this evening, please ask the Science Media Centre for the many reactions from expert climate scientists and then please include some of their quotes in your story. Thank you.
