Confirmed: the May average of atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa was 430.5 ppm, first time above 430 ppm in 15 million years, and a big jump from a year ago, again: +3.6 ppm!

Overall, we're still speeding in the wrong direction.

11 weeks apart.

They were willing to overlook the lies, Jan 6th, fraud, the arrest, the charges & the rape to celebrate his return to the White House.

Now they feign surprise that the sociopath we all warned was a sociopath is indeed still a sociopath.

This is the problem with the timidity and fake balance of BBC political coverage. A historic betrayal of Ukraine to Russia by Europe's former ally is boiled down to an utterly superficial row about a man's clothes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How Zelensky's lack of a suit may have fuelled Oval Office spat
The Ukrainian president's military-style attire came up before he was upbraided by President Trump and JD Vance.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Still reeling from @evanhd.bsky.social's remarks on @BBCPM yesterday.

It looks like the BBC are going to gaslight us all the way to extinction.

But first, some history. 🧵

Great thread. Pardon this Limey for butting in. All I can add from my own experience is 30, 30, 30: 30°C+30° slope+30km/h wind=1.8m flames=extreme fire behaviour. July 2018 watched 100ha forest in Wales (high rainfall) burn for 3 weeks until rain put it out. Frightening.
I woke up this morning still bewildered by the fire and water conversation held in SoCal yesterday. I feel I should put together a thread about it, but I don't know where I'd start...

OK, I'd start with the fire triangle. 1/

If everyone learns how to do this, but pauses until the 20th Jan before doing it, we could have a mass #FlushAwayFacebook day. 👍

True to its long history of exploitation and obfuscation, Meta makes it as hard as possible to delete your Facebook account. It keeps changing the procedure. In some cases it directs you to the wrong tabs. But this video by Gauging Gadgets provides a simple guide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZIJ...

These are the key facts everyone needs to know about climate change, according to @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social.

I shared this post across 7 different social media platforms, including FB, LI, Mastodon, Threads, X and Twitter both pre-and post-Musk.

Here's how their engagement stacked up. 🧵
Climate Change:

It's real.

It's us.

It's serious - and already dangerous.

But there are solutions.

The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.

Someone tell President Musky that waxy is only in solitary for his own protection? So the bigger boys can't do mean things to his bottom.

Gorgon CCS is the world's largest pure carbon capture and storage operation. Since 2019, it has been weakly sputtering away out on Barrow Island at Australia's highest emitting industrial facility.

You may have heard it's a failure. Do you know why it's a failure?
