A new study warns UK winters are becoming significantly wetter — with rainfall rising 7% for every degree of warming.

Yet Reform dismiss the scientific consensus and want scrap action to stop the climate crisis.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct.

As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open.

Better to use the factory to produce more low-cost EVs. This plan merely exacerbates pollution & warming by slowing an energy transition

Human-Induced Warming vs. Natural Variability

The black line shows the ANTHROPOGENIC contribution to annual global surface temperature (anomaly wrt to pre-Industrial era), and then using red and blue bars shows how 'NATURAL VARIABILITY' bumped UP or DOWN to observed temperatures.

Igen. Att ta över högerpopulisternas politik och bjuda in dem till samarbete ökar inte väljarnas förtroende för dig, det bidrar bara till att normalisera och legitimera högerpopulisterna

A positive note: The 1980s Coastal Barrier Resources Act made “3.8 million acres of barrier islands ineligible for federal flood insurance, discouraging development. Studies since show that has saved taxpayers close to a billion dollars a year.”

It is unlikely that the European Commission's proposal of a 90% reduction will save as many emissions as a 100% reduction ("phase-out of internal combustion engines").

Can the war on coal still be won?
Ten years ago, the U.S. was on track to phase out coal by 2030, thanks to the Sierra Club. Now Trump and AI are delaying the fuel’s decline.

(1/3) Red states appear to intentionally waste electricity by not making efforts to reduce electricity use through better insulation, appliance standards, etc.

This phenomenon, where red states use far more electricity per capita than blue states, has been know for 40 y, as shown by Evan Mills and Art Rosenfeld in 1987:
