Hello! I have been an environmental advocate for decades, and have a few minor climate science qualifications. I’m currently a sustainability executive for a financial institution, working on the company’s net zero transition plan and ESG ratings, plus climate science comms for our employees.

Paging @drrachelbarr.bsky.social - here’s a track I think you might enjoy! Neuroscience meets electronic prog in this epic new number from @hengemusic.bsky.social - ‘Brains!’ HOMO SAPIEN BRAINS!!

‼️ New: 50,000 Killed in #Europe’s worst summer #heatwaves on record! Two new peer-reviewed studies find: “Climate-driven impact: About 50,000 excess heat deaths are estimated to have occurred in 854 #European urban areas during summer 2026…

This is Dr. Simon Clark, whose PhD is in atmospheric physics, and is a communicator on climate. His response to Burn Them’s approval of the Jackdaw gas extraction site in the North Sea is one of the MILDER reactions from climate scientists I have seen today. He lays out the facts very clearly.

Hey folks, if midnight was a little late for you to stay up for new @hengemusic.bsky.social , you can wrap your lugs around the HENGE 6Music Freak Zone playlist here, starting with their new release - BRAINS! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Paraphrasing the excellent ‘There Is No Anti-Memetics Division’: “[REFORM] turns people into people who do not see people as people.”

Don’t bother mate.

Deeply disappointing to see Libdem leader now supporting more drilling in the North Sea - it will add to global volume of climate emissions, drive climate breakdown & send a dangerous signal to the rest of the world

Probably one of the greatest speeches on kindness and intelligence ever given! 👏👏👏 [SOUND ON 🔊]

Respect.

This sign from Just Stop Oil’s latest protest in the UK really hit home for me that the powers that be, in thrall to fossil fuel industry overlords, are trying so hard to quash the message - that we need to be on a war footing to decarbonise and STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS.

New tourist advert for Wales! Just kidding - it’s a print I got from artist WeFail, which I found particularly poignant after the destructive wildfires across Wales the last few months. Highly recommended artist - website here: wefail.art

Really silly to see people grasping at straws against the reality of global climate change by still using examples from July 1936 (or 1976). The reality is increasingly obvious. Graphics are from slides in a presentation of mine, which use NASA/GISS GISTEMPv4 data (and their 1951-1980 baseline).

Remember folks, when viewing the eclipse, don’t let the orange c*** f*** up your eyes.

Piece I just wrote for Current Affairs. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-mas...

I snagged a 1943 edition of Coleridge’s ‘The Ancient Mariner’, illustrated beautifully by Mervyn Peake! Iron Maiden fans will recognise verses below. What’s it about? As Dickinson says, “This is what NOT to do if a bird shits on you!” Basically, treat nature well or it’ll bite you on yer arse!!

Blimey, it took me ages to figure out how to remove the battery from this carbon monoxide thingy. Hopefully my headache will go away now I’ve stopped that shrill beeping!

If a climate scientist like @clairbarnes.bsky.social from @wwattribution.bsky.social says it's extremely scary how climate change is intensifying hot, dry, flammable conditions conducive to wildfires, you should probably be worried.

Trusted climate information should be easy to find, easy to use, and hard to erase. Climate.us is a new independent nonprofit resource built to keep trusted climate information accessible, accurate, and useful. #ClimateForUs #ClimateUS

Trump shut down Climate(.)gov so the scientists set this up! Give them a follow.

This always makes me LOL.

It's very sad that the United States, with perhaps the best climate science, scientists, and science communicators in the world, has consistently had the very worst climate-denying politicians and governments. Why? Simple: The powerful fossil-fuel industry and the money they shower on policymakers.

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

Very cool version of this monthly global average surface temperature anomaly chart showing both El Niño and La Niña years

Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany warned that if deforestation, which decreased in 2025, increases again, the Amazon could suffer “widespread rainforest dieback” and cross a tipping point in the 2030s. By @alecluhn.com for @NewScientist.com

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

I think a few strongly worded emails to the BBC are in order!!

The Scottish Greens are on FIRE!! Check out this representative up against a Reform candidate!!

Climate removed from top level navigation on BBC News.

It has just been so blindingly obvious for so long.

Over 8 billion reasons to ditch fossil fuels in one photo.

The crew of Artemis II are returning home. Quick, everyone put on your ape costumes. We are talking jape of the decade. We are talking April, May, June, July and August fool!

Praise Trump for accelerating the movement to electric vehicles!

Five climate scientists, five quotes about this Mach heat wave: “It’s uncharted territory.” “There’s no analog.” "Typically, we don't consider summer weather to be normal in winter.” “Once (records) happen, they can happen again.” “There's a very clear-eyed picture of what we face this summer.”

As already warm cities become more and more vulnerable to extreme heat events, or just the “new normal” of hotter and hotter cities every day, here’s just one more reason why more street trees and other greenery are good for streets & cities. It’s just common sense, really. Cooler, cleaner, better.

Great to see @hengemusic.bsky.social in @coldwarsteve.bsky.social ‘s celebration of Manchester luminaries! I’m off to see them tonight, as it happens!

On World Poetry Day I’d like to share one that has stuck with me all of my life. Surpassing art, it transcends past the page, into the hearts and minds of all humanity. Today I saw a little worm Wriggling on his belly Perhaps he’d like to come inside and see what’s on the telly - Spike Milligan

Very sensible moves from government to bring forward next renewables auction and permit plug in solar tech. As plenty of people have pointed out bizarre of government to lead on tackling price gouging when measures like this will have much more impact. www.gov.uk/government/n...

“What are the lessons from the Parisian revolution? First, pushing out cars improves life for most inhabitants. Lesson 2 is that banishing cars doesn’t hurt an urban economy. Lesson 3: car-free cities must offer people good alternative ways to travel. Paris itself does.” @simonkuper.bsky.social

At @commonseac.parliament.uk we're launching an inquiry into the environmental impact of UK data centres, which seem likely to be gas-powered. Brits shouldn't have to face higher bills and accelerated climate change in Starmer's bid to become an “AI superpower” www.politicshome.com/news/article...

The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I hate our species so much.
