Not a lot of love for the press at the tipping points conference
Rockström says the media is “getting it very wrong, seriously wrong”
Dr Carlos Nobre points to a lack of coverage of the impacts of the degradation of topical forests, noting the "tremendous risk of epidemics and pandemics”

As we seem to, yet again, be talking about the hot UK summer of 1976, a reminder that the UK is not the world.
Yes, it was hot that summer over our small region, but the bigger picture tells a different story.
And, we've had hotter UK summers since.

given the wild flak that renewables got in the aftermath of the spanish blackout a few weeks ago, I think it would have been good for media to lead with the fact that the investigation found they were blameless, and it was conventional (gas, coal, nuclear) power plants that screwed it up

In 2025 the UK has had a record numbers of wildfires and now warmest sea surface temperatures.
We need to drastically reduce our carbon emissions if we're going to resist climate collapse. Choosing sustainable transport is an important step towards that.

This is phenomenal.
Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.
It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.
