"we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us" I still believe Jo Cox was right. Despite what happened to her, and what I saw today. Which was a group of people, draped in a flag that is just as much mine as theirs, using it to divide us.

Big turnout at the Exeter is For Everyone rally today that was held to oppose the far-right march through the town centre. Music, singing, chanting and a whole lot of love for diversity.

Well done people of Exeter for turning up and opposing the far right marching on our streets. My Swiss immigrant wife and I met several other non-Brits today who have made their home here and who were also part of the "This is what community looks like" brigade.

The Oxbridge-educated boffin is feted as the codebreaking genius who helped Britain win the war. But should a little-known Post Office engineer named Tommy Flowers be seen as the real father of computing?

Here is a closer look at the record low #Arctic sea ice around Svalbard currently. This coincides with the record warmth as well (check out my earlier post). Earlier last week temperatures in parts of Svalbard were more similar to July than October.

Trust me to be giving a talk at the Moray Climate Action Network Climate Conference on the day a severe storm arrives in the area. I'll be talking about the influence of climate change on storms in this part of Scotland as well as my experiences with climate change denial. www.moraycan.org.uk

New analysis from @metoffice.gov.uk showing that the record-breaking hot UK summer of 2025 has been made much more likely by human-induced climate change and such a hot summer would be expected about once every 5 years in current climate. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...
Summer 2025 is the warmest on record for the UK
Provisional Met Office statistics confirm that summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK.

Final stats after the end of the month, but with the current stats and forecast, a new warmest UK summer is almost certain
Provisional statistics from the Met Office show that summer 2025 will ‘almost certainly’ be the warmest summer on record for the UK.
It would move 2018 off the top spot and relegate 1976 out of the top five warmest summer in a series which dates back to 1884.

Weather in Devon a bit meh today thanks to smoke from fires in the over-heated continent turning what would have been a nice sunny day (like yesterday) into a rather drab murky affair. Another impact of climate change...
Noticed the sky isn't as blue today?
Smoke from wildfires in Spain & Portugal, plus Saharan dust, has drifted over the UK
Expect enhanced sunsets & sunrises in the coming days — deeper reds & oranges thanks to light scattering 🔥🌄
