“‘People tend to think about trees and grasses dying when we talk about heatwaves. The Atlantic is 5C warmer than it should be - that means organisms need 50% more food just to function as normal,’ she says.” bbc.com/news/science-e…

Climate action should be "proportional and pragmatic", Sunak says. Excellent. In other words, given that we're facing the greatest danger humanity has ever confronted, we should be pulling out all the stops. Oh, turns out he means the opposite.

While everything is going haywire in the northern hemisphere, something even more statistically wild is happening around Antarctica where winter sea ice regrowth is failing. Scientists are calling it a "5 sigma event" which means extreme and impossible without global warming.

For those wondering, if the distribution was normal (hint. it isn't) and the climate was not changing (hint. it is.), then 6.4 standard deviations would correspond to odds of about 1-in-13,000,000,000 (1-in-13 billion).

Code Yikes!!! The planet is now at 15 consecutive days of record global surface temperatures, likely the hottest 15 days in the last 100,000+ years. Also, today's global temperature of 17.114°C once again breached the Paris agreement, at 1.51°C over the 1850-1900 baseline.

The 15th consecutive hottest day on planet earth.. meanwhile in a London hotel the fire is burning. We deserve what is coming our way. Too many humans just don’t get it. Insane

Climate hive minds, I need your help. I want to curate a collection of interesting climate change books to be available at my local libraries. I need your best recommendations please... @nickvanosdol @James_BG @AssaadRazzouk @SaleemulHuq @GeorgeMonbiot

WWF Many more species and people lost if 1.5C breached. I predict Unprecedented Runaway Earth Extinction. wwf.org.uk/sites/default/…

@SteGale @Joss_Gerrard Well done Mum & Dad, very very pleased for you and Lucas

With millions of properties to retrofit it will be really expensive for landlords and residents if it’s not right 1st time. With a huge skills gap in the sector it may be wise to focus on closing that first. ⁦@NetZeroCollect⁩ are doing the research in to how to decarbonise

This is recommended reading for those charged with developing a UK strategy for decarbonisation. For those of us without that responsibility it’s an educational must. Start right now and do it right from the start. ⁦@MichaelEMann⁩

‘Faster and further’ A clear coherent and funded strategy would be a start.

‘Right now’. And we must get it right, right now #netzerocollective

We are grateful to all keynote speakers for committing to contribute to ICEC2021 to be held in Sep @unisouthampton. Also the abstract portal is still open for direct contributions to topics of the conference @evolving_cities

Knowing that their organisations are building new homes that they know will need to be retrofitted in the future. Decarbonisation strategy must be at heart of asset management & development else it’s going to be a longer and more expensive journey than it needs to be.

Good to see Leadership from Shell highlighting the need to collaborate on decarbonisation. 3 times this week I’ve heard leaders say that we’ve done enough talking, now it’s time to act. Couldn’t agree more. I’ve also heard the same people admit to... linkedin.com/posts/carlosma…
