Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

Mixed emotions clearing out garage of a neighbour who has recently passed. Loved his car and bike mechanics. Lots of good tools. Glad we can take them and sort out. Some for Repair Shop, Tool Library, Shed and the rest for Garvald Edinburgh, for tool sale in May or metal recycling.

Fact. our wee planet is a life support system for all life on Earth as we travel the cosmos. Sad that science & eng skills are misdirected by politicians to play moon games and not turning off toxic methane releases etc. we are ‘farting’ in our own cosmic spacesuit! Excuse the language.

Let’s do this.

Says BUILD to rent. Not BUY. Different sector.

Why some argue cutting costs is the best way to cut carbon From heat pumps to offshore wind, the UK’s net zero push is facing growing scrutiny. Are rising costs undermining climate goals?

Come on BBC.
The intro person is still paying for gas standing charge. it says the cost of elect to run the HP is full grid elec price. Rubbish. He will be running HP partially on free solar and if on smart tariff battery would be charged & HP run at cheaper rate.

Nope. Brave individuals and impressive tech, but didn’t India take better photos of the far side of the moon and wouldn’t it be better to send research instruments to the moons of Saturn or Jupiter? People on Moon and Mars are the dreams of rich idiots.

Scottish Green co-leader Gillian Mackay is standout contributor on Channel4 News' Scots leaders’ debate. Like Ross Greer in BBC debate her stance is crystal clear - opposing North Sea drilling, calling for wealth Tax & slamming Malcolm Offord who claims Glasgow is a ‘dumping ground’ for refugees.

#bbcdn - poorly managed debate from BBC yet again. Allowing party leaders to talk over each other. Waffle from a bunch of men who all failed to paint an inspiring vision for scotland. Watch @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social films on Denmark, Finland, etc. Scotland should be aiming higher and being bolder.

NASA get 4 people to the moon with cameras, food, broken toilet and safely back. Well done but limited value when a) robotic exploration of other moons in solar system would be more rewarding scientifically and b) spaceship Earth is overheating and that won’t end well for life as we know it. Focus.

Meridionally consistent decline in the observed western boundary contribution to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Western boundary observations in the Atlantic suggest a meridionally consistent decline in the ocean overturning circulation.

The Atlantic’s “conveyor belt” is slowing.

New observations from 16.5°–42.5°N show a two-decade, basin-wide decline in deep western overturning, the first robust observational evidence that the AMOC is weakening, confirming long-standing model predictions.

Awaiting new solenoid for this coffee machine. Should be fairly easy to swap the part and test.

NASA Artemis moon flyby. Coverage poor, commentary poor, images poor. Science value minimal. Why are scientists not being honest and saying this is a waste of time and resources compared to exploring moons of other planets in the solar system. Come on. Stop pretending this is important.

Hello, World - NASA NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft's window on April 2, 2026, after completing the translunar injection burn.

95% of me thinks that NASA sending humans 2 the moon is a waste of resources. research of Saturn and Jupiter’s moons a smarter plan. But 5% of me loves photos like this because it shows how fragile our Earth spaceship is. No more wars. No more climate trashing.

‘A national scandal’: trawlers scour seabeds of supposedly protected UK waters ‘Precious ocean life is being pushed to the brink’ say campaigners, arguing that overfished marine areas are ‘protected only on paper’

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs.

This has me so excited. The film of the National Emergency Briefing on climate and nature is coming out in just over a week!

Check out the trailer below. Goggle-box for climate and nature briefings... genius!

You'll be able to join over 1000 screenings across the country (more details to come).

Faulty Y2 capacitor on this turntable. Main platter post caked in thick grease and the motor needed a lot of persuasion to spin. Hopefully once new cap arrives it should be a quick turnaround #Repair

Hundreds of North Sea licences granted by Conservatives have ‘so far produced only 36 days worth of gas’ Exclusive: Findings cast doubt on claims new drilling would help cut bills and boost energy security, researchers say

Britain’s food supply ‘at risk of catastrophic failure by 2030’ A report written before the 2024 election says climate change, habitat loss and geopolitical instability are a danger to food security — and it has been ignored

"Although the report was commissioned to inform the incoming Labour government, Defra did not include it in its handover briefings. The Defra Futures team was disbanded the following spring, ostensibly to cut costs"

🚨Screenings up & down UK from April🚨

The People’s Emergency Briefing.
A new film building on last year’s National Emergency Briefing. A friendlier, watch-together version that pulls no punches and inspires action.

@nebriefing.bsky.social can you please make the map or list of film locations visible on your website. It’s hard to find.

🚨 It’s official: 2026 had the lowest annual maximum Arctic sea ice extent on record - essentially tied with last year’s record low.

Climate change is reshaping the Arctic, and it's all throughout the year.
