Per, @metoffice.gov.uk:

34.7°C in London today. That’s not just rare -- it is excessive heat amplified by climate change.

Climate Shift Index shows this level of heat is now at least THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY due to man-made heat-trapping pollution.

This is summer for the UK in a warming world.

We view President Trump's proposed "reciprocal” trade policy as a step in the wrong direction.

The EU will react firmly and immediately against unjustified barriers to free and fair trade.

We will always protect European businesses, workers, and consumers from unjustified tariff measures.

Plugged into Europe! 🔌

The Baltics 🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 have disconnected from the Russian power grid and fully synchronised with the 🇪🇺 continental one, marking their energy independence.

After two decades of preparation, it is now time to benefit from our common energy system.

In recent months I’ve been playing Lord of the Rings LCG. It’s damn hard, here’s a shot of yet another lost session (threat hit 50 —> game over), but I guess it’s part of the ”fun” to bang one’s head on a wall and keep tweaking the deck until the scenario is won. 😅 #lotrlcg #fantasyflightgames

Which is why we are endorsing the the United Nations' designation of 2029 as the International Year of Asteroid Awareness and Planetary Defence.
