The world is now warming at roughly 0.3°C per decade — triple the rate of the 1970s! This isn’t a future threat; it’s an accelerating emergency. Every fraction of a degree still matters. Every year of action still counts. Adaptation and mitigation are urgent.

Even with cases of poor water management in Iran, the country’s annual rainfall is down 85%. They've had 5 years of constant drought. You can’t “manage” your way through a collapse that severe. This is a #climate-driven disaster — and Tehran is now only weeks from Day Zero.

The UK gov. Meanwhile - Plans to relax restrictions on new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea will be unveiled on Wednesday under the government's North Sea Strategy. They are taking the fcking piss. Killed the EV market in the UK

So the government’s big climate idea is… tax EV drivers per mile while extending a “temporary” cut on petrol and diesel fuel duty? Punish people for choosing electric, reward fossil fuels. Wtf sort of environmental policy is this? Honestly unbelievable. #ClimatePolicy #EV

COP deadlock was inevitable. The fossil-fuel lobby is reported to outnumber the delegation of every country except the host -even “green” leaders like Lula back drilling in the Amazon. The Lula oil field now pumps over 1M barrels a day — a symbol of global hypocrisy. #COP30

Cooling the planet isn’t only about storing carbon — it’s also about reducing the heat entering the system. Reflective ground-based cooling keeps soils cooler, locks more carbon in the ground, saves water, and offsets CO₂e immediately. Read more here:

The 1.5°C target has been passed. Yet at COP30, I keep hearing people talk about “1.2°C pathways”… pure magical thinking. Earth is already undergoing a huge warming spike. We need realism: slash emissions now, restore lost albedo, and buy time to scale natural CO₂ drawdown.

Today, nearly the entire US sat 3–9°C above normal temperatures — Florida and parts of California being the only major exceptions. An astonishing burst of continental heat that shows how quickly the climate baseline is shifting for this time of year.

Hey @terrychristian Dave here down the pub in Derry say the flooding in Wales was due to leaves in the drains.
Absolute horse manure. Here in Derry, N. Ireland I see all the kerb side gullys and grates filled up with leaves and soil and the council never removes them so it's bound to cause 'flooding'. No doubt the same happens everywhere, so they push the climate change agenda.

UK High Street flooded overnight after flood defences failed. As the planet warms, the atmosphere holds far more moisture — and dumps it faster. The entire system is flushing faster than ever, driving extremes at both ends: deeper droughts & sudden floods. This is the new
