This saddens me on so many levels! Major damage to the UK academic sector, NHS, another message of welcome foreigners and not to mention all the families affected by this...

In light of the Prime Minister's recent announcement on the Government's 'new approach' to #NetZero, we drafted our own response in a blog post and discussed how this will impact the UK meeting its climate targets 👇🎯

Chris Packham legal challenge to Prime Minister over Net Zero 🌍
“The Prime Minister is playing populist politics with the future of life on Earth. Immoral, unethical and, we believe, illegal.” @ChrisGPackham

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

🙏@damiengayle & @NiranjanAjit for covering my story of conscientious objection to flying @guardianeco. I find it ironic that a spokesperson stated @kielinstitute "support its employees in travelling in a climate-friendly manner." theguardian.com/environment/… @fdabl @JKSteinberger

BBC reporting that the current UK govt is going to water down its net-zero policies by - falsely - claiming that it "has over-delivered on confronting climate change"
No one - the CCC, IPCC, UN, scientists - has ever claimed that. Quite the opposite

Writing about the Climate Stripes on #ShowYourStripes day, for my book 'The Visual Life of Climate Change'. Topical! The story of an iconic #climatechange visual just got even more interesting!
BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!
These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years.

New #NetZeroLiving data from @IpsosUK & @CAST_Centre shows most #NetZero policies enjoy broad support among UK public, but how should policy makers continue building public support for #NetZero policies?
