This is the most important thing you will read today – and probably the whole year, honestly.
We cannot let the AMOC collapse. For one thing it will make Iceland uninhabitable, and I would really like my children and grandchildren not to become refugees. But the effects will be almost everywhere.
My rule of thumb is to wait until pink hawthorn starts to flower - its always later than the white form. This is just a hyper-cautious twist on the old saying 'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out', meaning May (hawthorn) blossom, not the month!

😡 Thames Water wants to be allowed to dump sewage and not pay a PENNY. Right now, they're trying to force a deal so they can dodge fines until 2030, while customers foot the bill. This isn’t right. Join me and sign the petition now: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/bring-th...
Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:
a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b
So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
Over 8 billion reasons to ditch fossil fuels in one photo.
Maybe Vance can help campaign for Reform in may
The rising prevalence of SUVs does exacerbate pothole formation, because higher axle loads increase surface stresses, crack initiation, and road wear.
The typical SUV exerts around five times more force on the road than the typical passenger car.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .
Least surprising story of the day: fossil fuel lobbyist of two decades (who was PM before that), lobbies for fossil fuels

Times: "Tony Blair urges Ed Miliband: Don’t be ideological on net zero"
"Britain should produce more clean energy while accelerating domestic oil & gas production" - TBI
This would be a tad more credible if the Tony Blair Institute's clients weren't despotic petro-states like UAE & Saudi Arabia.
A chart from Our World In Data, showing the shift away from coal power in the UK - nearly 70% of electricity production in the late 1980s, to less than 0.1% in 2025.
There's a lot being shared right now about China's incredible shift towards renewable energy - and rightly so.
But this, from the UK, is equally astonishing & encouraging.
It's not just that change can happen. It's that it *is* happening.

Quote from Ed Davey which reads: “This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour. “If Trump follows through with this, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament. The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now. “MPs must be given a chance to hold the Government to account and prevent the UK from being complicit in war crimes and breaches of international law.”
If Trump follows through with his wilder and increasingly concerning threats, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament.
The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now.
This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world.
We're on the verge of a genocidal, nuclear war that our supposed "ally" has said he's ready to unleash.
Would it be too much to ask for the Prime Minister to have something to say about it? Or do?
Suspend US bases on UK soil now.
Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK should not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.
It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.
We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.
This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.
I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
President Trump is threatening war crimes of horrific proportions against civilians.
It’s deranged. This madness must stop.
... and they are still using the outdated term 'junor doctors' instead of 'resident doctors'!
I was just about to type that ...!

NASA's Blue Marble picture of Earth, from 1972
It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.
Just what we don't need. Already, our rivers are overloaded with both human and livestock waste, leading in many cases to #rivercide. Now the government, responding as always to lobbyists, wants to make it worse. Then it wonders why it loses public support. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
