The right-wing press is predictably freaking out that the UK govt is going to - wait for it - improve teaching in schools on climate change and media literacy.
Ignore their frothing and read what the curriculum review by Prof Becky Francis actually says...

Our marine observations are vital for weather, climate, and research.
Now, ocean robots like Oshen’s C-Stars can independently sail for months, boosting ocean data alongside satellites and buoys.
See how the Met Office supports this innovation 👇

Are ocean robots the next big thing for climate monitoring?
With climate data more important than ever, is there a way to maximise marine data collection, gathering even more information from all oceans?

Despite the noise, renewables keep rising now generating more electricity than coal.
@iea.org halved its US outlook, but raised India’s by 10%, putting it on track as the No. 2 growth market after China. MENA up 23%, driven by Saudi wind and solar.

We need constantly to remind ourselves that there's nothing normal or inevitable about it. It would be a catastrophe from which we would not recover for many years, in which terrible things are done, to minorities, to vulnerable people, to the rest of the living planet. We cannot let it happen.
