Well I'm arriving on Blue Sky. Will show my age by saying that for those old enough to have tweeted when that was novel and still decent, this is almost like reminiscence therapy!

“Canada's pursuit of mega fossil fuel expansion projects stands in stark defiance of the ICJ... This historic ruling is not merely a legal opinion; it's a global mandate that shatters any illusion of continued fossil fuel impunity." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/23/n...

There is disturbing and then there is plain immoral. Suspect as welfare reforms take effect we will all see many more tents on pavements of our centre cities with wheelchairs beside them.

New WMO report on near-term climate projections finds that global temperatures are likely to remain at highly elevated levels for the next five years. Barring a large volcanic eruption, it is very unlikely that we see a year as cool as 2022 again. wmo.int/sites/defaul...

Another white, western, woman's story makes it into the media. Detained for 19 days while trying to *leave* the US after a holiday. It's appalling what happened to her. I can't imagine the suffering that goes on unreported. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

Privatisation Racket.

20 companies controlling UK supply, production, transmission of energy made operating profits of £514bn in 2020-24.

Profit margins at electricity/gas supply companies up by 363%; electricity generation up by 198%.

They get subsidies too.

Argentina faced extreme heat, followed by deadly rains. The heat was due to climate change; the rains, less clear. Don’t be fooled by uncertainties—more events will hit as we keep drilling & burning. Voting for leaders ignoring this won’t save lives. www.worldweatherattribution.org/consecutive-...

Just as tobacco companies deceived the public about the dangers of nicotine, Big Oil deceived the public about the dangers of fossil fuels. California is suing them big time, after a suit in Hawaii has gained traction.

calmatters.org/environment/...
Who should pay billions for climate disasters? California and others target Big Oil — will that work?
States and counties are using a legal strategy that took down Big Tobacco, hoping to make oil companies pay for damage they have denied. But many obstacles remain.

NEW: Andrew Norfolk broke the grooming gang story, 15 years ago. His exclusive interview on today’s News Agents
is deeply powerful, not least for his anger about those political figures now exploiting it and the victims for their own purposes.

The average for the year shows one of the biggest leaps since the measurements started in 1958. Taking my December estimate, the average for 2025 is 424.6 ppm, that's 3.5 ppm more than last year's 421.1 ppm.
The 3.4 ppm jump from 2023 to 2024 was the highest seen so far.
