There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt.

This is simply false.

- UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh
- panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life

OK #MedSky #NHS clinical supervisors. Why is it the job of a resident to contact the clinical supervisor when they start a new rotation?

The onus should surely be on the clinical supervisor to contact the resident. Just ridiculous this is the responsibility of the resident.

Incredible heat in the Mediteranean with sea sfc departures up to 7C (13 F) above normal!
While +13F is not unusual for air temps, for large water bodies it's ludicrous.
Marine heateaves in the Med are now 3X more likely than the 1980s due to climate change - CC can explain 90% of this increase.

Top climate priorities:

1. Electrify everything. Yes even that.
2. Stop burning anything for energy. Seriously.
3. Build and install as much solar PV and batteries as you have money for using the latest technology.

If we don’t do these 3 things as fast as possible our civilisation might be lost.

In adult patients undergoing tracheal intubation in real-world operating theatre settings, universal VL showed clear advantages over direct laryngoscopy.

This is the largest comparative analysis conducted to date!

University of Oxford study found that a rapid green-energy transition to 100% renewables could result in a net $12 trillion savings just from reduced energy costs by 2050.

Severe weather is affecting the Greek islands of Paros and Mykonos, turning roads into raging torrents.

Vehicle movement has been prohibited on both islands due to dangerous conditions.

New study LA fires: “Conditions are up to 5°C warmer, 15% drier & 20% windier now compared to past. We ascribe the strengthened winds, higher temps & drier conditions to human-driven climate change. Natural climate variability likely played a minor role.” www.climameter.org/20250107-08-...

Climate chaos is coming for us.

Some places face bigger risks than others, but no matter where we live, we're going to struggle to adapt to events unlike anything we've seen before.

I'm a climate futurist.

Let me level with you about what this means.
