“The number of heat-related deaths recorded during summer 2025 - the UK's warmest - was much lower than expected…

Around 1,504 heat-associated deaths were reported in England…roughly half the 3,039 predicted.”

- apparently people have started listening to extreme weather advice, and the NHS is adapting.

Aaaaaarrrghhhhhh the neoliberal myopic definition of efficiency=cheap again:

"Achieving the EU’s 2040 and 2050 climate targets in a cost‑effective manner requires meaningful emission reductions across the entire economy."
Says Otmar Edenhofer, PIK Director and chair of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change.

So the cost-effective manner is the main focus, The Goal, in that sentence, right?
Right.
Not the remaining carbon budget, no. Cost-effectiveness. Right.
And clinging to target policy years that were insufficient from the get-go.
Right again. Some advisory board on climate change they are...

Just like the British CCC, a bunch of lazy climate-impact deniers – for the sole purpose of not having to change their silly econ gospel. That would be over-taxing their intellectual capacity, it seems.
Welllll, okay. Right.

‘The percentage of the countryside literally under water up here, especially in Yorkshire and the north-east, is extraordinary. As I write on 20 February, the UK government has issued 60 flood warnings and 144 possible flood alerts across England.’

And now scientists have revealed new research that shows the amount of rainfall we’re getting is around 20 years ahead of climate models.’

We must adopt #ClimateAdaptation NOW!

The world’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars

Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

Climate marches aren't working. The people in power aren't listening. So maybe it's time to stop asking for permission and start building resilience from the ground up.
