Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

As the world warms, antibiotic-resistant bacteria are escaping from frozen sediments. But with new monitoring tools, we can identify problem genes and develop treatments before our pathogens acquire them

Andy Burnham seems to remember a different Cretaceous to the rest of us. The world was ravaged by unaccountable archosaurs, stomping around, evolutionarily stagnant. The Chicxulub Event saw a remarkable global recovery based on free enterprise and viviparous values. It is this he rails against!

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

Nationalisation is routinely dismissed as unaffordable. But what if the eye-watering figures we're given fundamentally misunderstand how nationalisation actually works? Richard Murphy takes apart the argument.

Given rising interest in the rapidly strengthening El Niño event in the tropical Pacific Ocean, I've created a one-page fact sheet succinctly describing what El Niño is, this year's (remarkable) forecast, and potential impacts from California to global scales. [Thread]

30,000 hours of footage, equivalent to 3 years and 7 months, were filmed to capture the blooming of 77 types of flowers, and the result is spectacular. Original post

Employee of the month is Frank, one of our Jet Bridge operators! He found out a Lufthansa pilot has been 'boarding' his wife yet he still came to work. You'd never have known. Top lad. 🏆

As a regenerative farmer puts it: "with temperatures exceeding 38C for weeks on end, everything is breaking down. I’m expecting yield losses of at least 50%, or even 70%, for certain crops, such as soya. We’re no longer heading for a crash — we’re already there" www.ft.com/content/c528...

What? Just how?

The current temperatures in western and central Europe would have been virtually impossible 50 years ago, and unprecedented humidity levels make this heatwave especially dangerous

Europe is currently experiencing an unprecedented heat wave. The US government is paying companies to stop plans for wind farms. Tech companies are building mountains of energy-sucking data centers. This is unsustainable, literally www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

What you have to understand is that for Starmer's team, the right is not the enemy. The left is. Its driving mission, from the moment Starmer took over, was to stamp out first the Labour left, then the wider left. It hates us, deeply and viscerally, with a passion never directed at the right.

“3,400 deaths in a day: India's extreme heat days are deadlier than we imagined.” #ClimateCrisis

This should always have been the case. Any media organisation that repeatedly prints or plays Trump's evil nonsense verbatim is *insulting* me and permanently loses my attention.

Ocean explorer Ocean Ramsey and her team came face to face with a massive 20-foot great white shark off Oahu Hawaii, one of the largest ever recorded.😲💙😎

Clearly not a real assassin. No black cape, no eyemask, no spherical bomb with a sparkling fuse and the word "BOMB" on it. Just completely unconvincing.

When DOGE arrived at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the operatives had no real background in nuclear issues. They boxed out experienced hands, forcing resignations and massive exodus of talent. Over 400 people have since left or been forced out. Our full story: https://propub.li/3OBQMwk
