Quite worrying.
This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly – not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“four-fifths of farmers are concerned about not being able to make a living as extreme weather conditions reduce productivity every year”
Climate impacts are hitting harder than expected. UK plans are inadequate. We aren’t ready.
It’s time to brief the nation.

Hi, @channel4news.bsky.social
don't get me wrong, it's vital that this is getting news coverage.
But wasn't the #AMOC open letter to Nordic ministers from October 2024, not last month?

Reform is NOT democracy, it is a company run for and by the rich who manipulate simpler angrier folk who dont think, only react.
Reform UK is not a political party: it is a company controlled by Nigel Farage.
And if it ever formed our government, it wouldn’t answer to the electorate but to the foreign-based plutocrats who are its donors.
Don’t assume a vote for Reform is a harmless ‘protest vote’. It would cost us our NHS.

Interesting contrast in coverage: a misleading, vested-interest report suggesting heat pumps raise UK bills made headlines.
Our peer-reviewed UK research showing high real-world efficiency across hundreds of homes was largely ignored by the media.
