During #ClimateChangeTheFacts I’ll provide some further information as background to statements I make in the BBC’s documentary on climate change bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07…
The 20 warmest years on record have occurred in the past 22 years. WMO Statement on global climate is available here public.wmo.int/en/media/press…
The warming trend cannot be explained by natural factors but is caused by human activities. @CarbonBrief explains how
carbonbrief.org/analysis-why-s…
One degrees Celsius may not sound like much but it’s having a dramatic effect on our weather. This graphic from @CarbonBrief shows human influence on extreme weather events carbonbrief.org/mapped-how-cli…
Human-induced climate change made the 2018 record-breaking UK summer temperatures about 30 times more likely @MetOffice_Sci. More details here metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/press… and metoffice.gov.uk/research/libra…
Scientists have shown that it’s simply inconceivable that you would see these temperatures without the fact of climate change. Analysis from Australian scientist @aviandelights here
sophieclewis.com/2019/01/31/aus…
Research has shown that the chances of having these very hot, dry conditions conducive to fire has increased as a result of climate change. Analysis for the US is here c2es.org/content/wildfi…
It really becomes difficult to see at such levels of warming how we’re going to maintain our agriculture such that the population of the world can actually feed itself. Analysis by @MetOffice_Sci on impacts on agriculture here metoffice.gov.uk/food-insecurit… #ClimateChangeTheFacts

Climate change alarmism is the strangest compact in history. It is a consensus between "anticapitalists" and extremely wealthy individuals, many of whom made their vast fortunes from fossil fuels (and capitalism), and a number of whom's fortunes were made before capitalism. ...
The "anticapitalists" are properly understood as *pre*-capitalists. Their desire is to roll back capitalism, on the belief that capitalism has made things worse. This is distinct from most leftwing thought, which conceived of capitalism as a stage of societal development.
However, the left is so degraded and disoriented, it can no longer discriminate between forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right. It has therefore volunteered its anticapitalists to be the billionaires' useful idiots.

At 9pm - for the first time in 12yrs - BBC One will broadcast a 60-min documentary about climate change presented by Sir David Attenborough.

It covers the science, impacts and potential solutions of climate change, all of which Carbon Brief has covered in depth...
Last October, Carbon Brief exclusively reported the news that the film had been commissioned by the BBC...

Earlier in the year, we tracked down the 2004 lecture that Attenborough personally attended which finally convinced him that he needed to speak out about climate change...

So I was going to wait with this one. But events are moving fast. The whole Brexit debacle aside, it is entirely possible a Tory leadership contest is on the way.

And you thought Gove was bad. I mean he is, he's pure evil. But still. Brace yourselves.
I was chatting with a few folks tonight about the possibility of Johnson vs Corbyn. My main concern was, and is, the "lesser Trump" narrative. Ken Clarke pretty much exemplifies it here. If Johnson does fight a GE, expect to see a lot of this.

telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/3…
Of course, this plays into Johnson's public perception - the bumbling buffoon. It is widely known that Johnson intentionally plays this up. So far, he's had success with it. But combined with the lesser Trump narrative, it could be extremely dangerous.

THREAD| Draft of the #Climate Change Act, presented by (@bmu) this week: The proposal is a framework law, featuring elements from international acts, e.g. from UK (@theCCCuk). In contrast to the German Climate Action Plan 2050, it will be legally binding. #Klimaschutzgesetz
2| The framework law includes emission reduction targets, defines CO2 budgets for each sector, and clarifies responsibilities, as well as review, transparency & sanctioning mechanisms. Implementation measures for each sector will be detailled in 2030 programmes, due in Mar 2019.
3| Progress will be supported by an independent advisory group of 7 experts. Focus is on reaching the 2030 CO2 reduction targets, but the draft works towards at least 95% reduction by 2050. The remaining 5% to reach #netzero could be reached through compensation policies.

Bonjour, c’est moi, Jean-Michel La Mort du Fun et aujourd’hui on va parler d’un des facteurs de la possible extinction future des #amphibiens (la classe d’organismes qui comprend les grenouilles, les crapauds, les salamandres, les tritons et les céciles) :D
Parmi les espèces les plus en danger, on compte les amphibiens. Grenouilles, crapauds et autres joyeusetés subissent depuis les années 1980 une déclin plus que préoccupant de leur population.
En 2004 une 1ere évaluation révélait que 32% des espèces étaient globalement menacées, au moins 43% connaissaient une forme de diminution de la population et qu'entre 9 et 122 espèces avaient disparu depuis 1980. (science.sciencemag.org/content/306/57…)

THREAD: @Jacob_Rees_Mogg has become the latest Brexiteer to belittle concerns about the implications of Brexit for security in Northern Ireland telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
To help conversions on this topic be better informed, I thought I should write a timeline of terrorism (perpetrated by both sides) in NI. For brevity sake, I will only cover the period SINCE the Brexit referendum (23 June 2016). Brace yourselves. This will be a long one:
June 2016: The Police Service of Norethern Ireland (PSNI) believe that pipe bombs found in Derry/Londonderry on 17 June could be linked to "violent dissident republican terrorism" bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…
