Do you want to see the "big picture" on climate change?
Here it is.
Emissions are on the left, and include CO2, CH4, N2O, and f-gases. Natural CO2 sinks (from healthy forests & oceans) are on the right. And carbon removal, what little there is, is on the right, too. All expressed as GWP100.

The Daily Mail poll about whether the UK should re-join the European Union did not go according to plan.
Breaking: New study using observational constraints projects that the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC will weaken ~50% by 2100, even for medium emissions and without Greenland melting. 🌊
More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
A Japanese researcher just interrupted me in the restroom and said, “are you David Ho?” He proceeded to tell me how much he enjoyed this piece I wrote in Nature. You should read it too. 😄
If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope.
Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.
These people call themselves patriots. Almost invariably, they turn out to be stooges of foreign powers. goodlawproject.org/orbans-pay-c...
Odd how the minor administrative errors always seem to produce the same results.

A rare defeat for Putin in Western politics tonight. I suppose he can console himself with thoughts of Farage’s projected success next month.

Post from Dale Partridge claiming nobody wants to live in diverse neighborhoods
I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries.
Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.
Interesting
A message from Tuna Acisu asking for help maintaining cherry blossom record in Kyoto Japan.
A figure showing the cherry tree record since 812 from world in data.
A 1200+ year climate record is at risk. Do you know know anyone in Japan who could help? See below.
Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again.
Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺
This looks amazing! I would 100% apply if I weren't too senior. Apply to work with the fine folks at @projectdrawdown.bsky.social! 🧪🌊
Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.
~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.
Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.
Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.
This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification
And over on Twitter, the White House got community noted. lol
And he's off his head...green leader Polanski in bid to ban horse racing.
Every day I'm setting out my plan to end rip-off Britain and take back our power and wealth from those who have stolen it.
Here's today's Sun front page.
The Murdoch empire is terrified.
Lecturer in GIS - lecturer or senior lecturer (equivalent to Assistant professor) at The University of Queensland. Come and join our large multidisciplinary school of the Environment in sunny Brisbane (a great place to live, especially for families).
Ofcom claims there is no consensus to ban Nigel Farage from Presenting on GB News.
Lets show them one.
Titanic at Southampton embarking upon her maiden voyage.
On this day 114 years ago, at noon on 10 April 1912, Titanic began her maiden voyage from her home port of Southampton to New York.

ah...no...didnt think of that
indeed - you have to start somewhere!
a graph clearly made in excel showing a negative trend line of dubious significance through 3 data points. The axes are: x = year, and y = date in year when fan was turned on for the first time.
Not as long a time-series as some others (e.g. ourworldindata.org/grapher/date...) but I just turned on my office fan in April! Perhaps too soon to definitively define a global warming trend...
“Do your own research”, they say… conveniently ignoring the thousands of climate scientists who already did.

I’m confused.
Leader of Reform unhappy that an anti-Semitic musician should be banned from entering the UK but foreign nationals from elsewhere should be? Not banned because of the opinions they hold personally but because they’re from a country that seeks slavery reparations. In the same day.
This, in its own way, is as delusional and disastrous as his pledge to wipe out their civilization just yesterday.
The Vice-President of the United States is interfering in foreign elections.
Pretty obvious.
