In a memo, the Microsoft co-founder warned against climate alarmism and appears to have shifted some of his views about climate change.

Fully agree with David Cross here - although he left out how the Saudis have also scuppered global climate action for decades. Surely some hilarious material there. https://t.co/0lM6vIebsj

Why did 1.4 million people see this video clip? (Watch to the end to find out.)
One of the most ominous risks for Europe is that of a major change in Atlantic ocean currents. Recent science suggests it has been greatly underestimated in the past -including by me, having worked on it for over 30 years. Here my half-hour presentation in Vilnius a week ago!

He's too modest to say, but Andrew Dessler has led and coordinated a full-court scientific response to that execrable, climate-denying "report" from the DOE. It was a massive effort, accomplished in mere weeks. And the response itself is of historic importance, because... 1/3

New study maps the planetary boundary of “functional biosphere integrity” and finds that 60% of global land areas are now already outside the locally defined safe zone.....
This is the first global map showing where the biosphere’s functional integrity is exceeded, and how biomass use, ecosystem disruption and carbon sinks are connected. It’s a breakthrough for understanding how to safeguard Earth’s life support systems. https://t.co/lyGaiZ12vi

New piece on Carbon Colonialism, net-zero nonsense, and how the UK Government's climate advisors (and many experts) shy away from speaking truth to power. We need a fundamental reboot of climate policy; - physics doesn't care about political sensibilities.

Breaking free of the dangerous pretence that current efforts suffice demands a fundamental rethink of the UK’s climate policy consensus.

Former news editor fesses up climate...
I’m sure people think I’m nuts when I frequently say the media has failed to adequately convey the magnitude of danger we face from the climate crisis. Here is former Editor-In-Chief of @SkyNews, @JohnRyleyNews saying the same thing.

Doomism is toxic. But so is hopium, the insistence on only telling positive stories for fear of freaking everyone out. We do absolutely need to point to a positive way forward (and there is one), otherwise we'd all just crawl under the duvet. #climatesolutions
