This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

Banks like Barclays & HSBC are set to vote on ditching the 1.5-degree climate target for their investments. Sounds like the needles on their moral compasses point to "short-term profits" only.

#FIFA boss "Johnny" Infantino, showing off the World Cup trophy at the White House, says the World Cup '26 will be played in the United States. He failed to mention it will be co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico.

Makes sense. The administration appears to leak like a sieve as it is.
The Trump administration has eased security requirements for some of the Boeing staff working on building new Air Force One jets, as part of an effort pushed by President Trump and Elon Musk to hasten the delayed project.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, PM Justin Trudeau says Canadians will probably keep booing our national Anthem. "But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you... We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us."

Imagine forcing Canadians to act rude.

I enabled greyscale mode on my phone as part of a #digitaldetox to boost my attention span and #mindfulness. Been going for a week now and... it's working, I think? Any budding monochromists out there?
