Probably preaching to the choir here but I still remember when British Petroleum invented the concept of 'carbon footprint' and note how fossil fuel companies prefer the term natural gas. Next week: natural coal; natural cyanide. Can't wait for an acrobatic accountant to invent carbon credits.

I'm confused, aren't there still around 84 days left in 2025 or are we looking at 365 day periods each ending on September 30th?

If you’re a journalist writing about a certain piece of UK climate policy news this evening, please ask the Science Media Centre for the many reactions from expert climate scientists and then please include some of their quotes in your story. Thank you.

Dancing hurricanes. Until Imelda absorbs Humberto and slingshots herself towards... I'm hoping she runs out of puff.

Some rare and remarkable processes are taking place this week, that we are not likely to observe for a long time!
These 2 Atlantic hurricanes are closer than any since at least the 1960s. They are now connected - in each other’s orbit, pivoting. Follow along 1/

A rare "radar" view of a category 5 hurricane - #Humberto
No, it's not traditional land based radar. This is super cool. Keeping reading if you want to learn.
This is called Synthetic Aperature Radar (SAR) taken from a NOAA satellite of the storm on Saturday night. 1/

Here’s a bunch of cities turned into a sweet dataviz experiment.

Love it, well done. Reminds me of the pom-poms we used to make as kids. First layer could be year n, second layer year n+1 and so on. Cut around the outside noon line and fluff it up. 57 trillion pom-poms later to cover each 3 x 3 metre what 3 words location.

We could then claim plagiarism, lose in court, and we could both write sequels.

Two video games, each acting upon the other. What if ALL games impacted each other in some way? Currently this is mostly externalised (achievements/trophies) but think about the possibilities. #GameDevelopment

This type of delivery/presentation is very compatible with how I absorb information. Thank you for teaching me about the Fujiwara effect today, which inspired me to read more about the life of Sakuhei Fujiwhara.
