@writethewrongs2 Reduce CO2 too much and nothing will grow...

In Europe, forests may still be standing, but climate change is making it harder for them to reproduce 👇 A 34-year study of major European tree species found that viable seed production has fallen by more than 30%, raising concerns that forests may look intact while their capacity to regenerate is already under strain Climate change is reducing the ability of major European forest trees to reproduce, with viable seed production falling by more than 30 per cent over three decades, according to a new study. The findings suggested that forests may be affected by warming at a deeper biological level than previously understood. Trees may continue to stand for decades while gradually losing their ability to reproduce effectively, the authors noted. “If reproduction is under chronic strain, the forest may still look intact, while its capacity to replace itself is already weakening,” said Jessie Foest, lead author of the study and a researcher at the Adam Mickiewicz University Forest Biology Centre in Poland. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change on May 12, 2026, analysed 34 years of seed-harvest data from Poland between 1988 and 2021. Researchers examined 40,530 observations across five major European tree species: English oak (Quercus robur), sessile oak (Quercus petraea), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), silver fir (Abies alba) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica). The study found widespread declines in viable seed production across the species analysed. Both oaks recorded a decline of about 65 per cent, while Scots pine saw a fall of about 64 per cent, the researchers found. Silver fir and European beech recorded declines of 44 per cent and 32 per cent respectively, according to the study. The records were based on post-sorting......

We are now heading for the phase in Mamdani’s tenure when the gap between his articulate, expansive rhetoric and the reality of his achievements will grow ever wider — until the rhetoric no longer cuts it.

Isn’t it convenient that ‘saving the planet’ and ‘climate change’ is never mentioned when massive energy consuming AI data centres are rolled out?

@pulse_carbon So what was the max temp between 1400 and 1426?

The key thing to understand with climate change is co2 is very diffuse - only 1 in every 2315 molecules in the air. So it takes an incredibly long time to remove. That means this May, the hottest on record, will be one of the coldest May's for thousands of years to come.

@NiallJames8787 Twit. It lasted nearly 3 months, that's the real differentiator...

Have the people who lived through the 1976 heatwave told us how hotter it was in 1976 yet? They never seem to mention it…

Key thing here is “on record.” We have climate data from the last 100-200 years. Planet Earth was formed over 4.6 billion years ago. We have less 0.00000001% of climate data. In no other argument would it be acceptable with that data sample, would we enact policies that will people & nations poorer.

@kokeshimum It was warmer in the UK during the Roman period and that was obviously pre industrialisation. Btw what was the max temp in the UK between 1215 and 1415?

Farmers who claim climate change isn’t real are fucking insane. 😭

Under no rational understanding can atmospheric CO2 be considered a pollutant. If we reduce CO2 below 150 PPM in our atmosphere, nearly all plants will die and then all animals will die. CO2 is a necessary part of the Earth's atmosphere. It is NOT a pollutant. Many farmers who use greenhouses boost the CO2 levels inside their buildings because it makes their plants grow faster and larger.

@realninawysocka Because it's owned by the globalist parasite class...

Explain to me like I’m 5 why the UK government treats immigrants like kings and treats its own citizens like trash?

You got the science to back that up? No drinking water because migration has exploded the population and we've not built a single reservoir, but you know that don't you?

@PeterDClack 100%

We are told that hydrocarbons are a stain on history. But before fossil fuels, humanity was entirely at the mercy of a harsh world. Life before modern energy was exactly as Thomas Hobbes described it: 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short'. Coal and oil are the core reasons modern civilisation exists at all. They ended the backbreaking human servitude and primitive toil, provided reliable warmth and built the physical infrastructure that protects humanity from the elements today. When you see maps of Europe painted in apocalyptic blood-red, accompanied by insults for anyone who asks questions, you are looking at pure marketing - this is not science. Behind the panic dialogue lies a profound ignorance of deep geological time and human history. The transition to modern energy didn't corrupt a pristine world; it lifted human hope out of subsistence poverty. It built modern medicine, sanitation and transport, and paradoxically made us vastly more resilient to a harsh world. The irony runs deep. Carbon dioxide, now labeled a pollutant, was the foundation for the rise of life, the catalyst for oxygen production and blind architect of the miracle of photosynthesis. Without it, multicellular life would not exist. Look at the actual data. For the vast majority of the Phanerozoic Eon (over the past 541 million years), Earth's average temperature sat between 18°C and 26°C. Today's global average is around 15°C. Geologically speaking, we live in a remarkably 'cool' era. We are also still living in the Quaternary Ice Age, enjoying a brief, 11,700-year warm holiday climate known as an interglacial period. The roughly 1.4°C rise seen since 1850 was a natural recovery from the brutal icy depths of the Little Ice Age - not the ignition of a planet. Yet, the institutional campaign of absolute climate panic—now roughly 38 years old—has successfully morphed a complex scientific inquiry into a massive, centralised economic torrent. The futility of fighting these natural cycles comes at an astronomical economic cost. According to global consulting firms like McKinsey, the forced top-down transition to Net Zero is projected to cost $9.2 trillion every single year through to 2050. That is a staggering global total of $275 trillion. This isn't about saving the planet. It's a massive, top-down redistribution of wealth away from sovereign nations and into an opaque, tangled bureaucratic web of managed funds. It is being driven by a self-serving activist hardcore within the UN. Fear has been hijacked to replace physics, fracturing global stability for an outrageous multi-trillion-dollar quest for power.

@volcaholic1 Hottest day on record? What was the max temperature between 1254 and 1425?

🚨 Yesterdays new record for the hottest day on record in May has been beaten today. It's been horrible! Climate change deniers aren't missing the facts. They're just too thick for the implications to sink in. As you'll see in the comments..

@writethewrongs2 The collapse of the Japan yen carry trade will take the global financial system with it. Investment in renewables will be nigh on zero over the next decade, not more... Also, welfare payments, pensions, healthcare will be impossible to sustain. The EU parasites know it. Tick tock

Fossil fuel companies have stated that they are working on safer energy, and that they understand the impact of climate change. Sadly, that was a load of rubbish and now they state that they don't. They pay people to deny the science including politicians. It is so wrong on so many levels because it really is a case of profit over human lives.

The amount of ignorant people who still bury their head in the sand when it comes to climate change is ridiculous. This tells me several things...that the scientific evidence is not reaching people, that some choose to disbelieve the science through fear, that fossil fuel companies are misleading people and that our Govt is not acting fast enough to adapt our country to the changes. Its communication about this very real risk is poor. #climatechange

@writethewrongs2 That's why it's futile. The investment was previously possible when govts and central planners printed money like never before. The inevitable global debt implosion, will mean much less investment and greater need to drill to reduce energy costs and increasing demand.

@AlexSeale @ProfBillMcGuire What was the max UK temp in 1487?

40C+ mid-century heat in the UK is already baked in. Life in the 2050s is going to look radically different, and we are completely unprepared. A sobering read by Bill McGuire on why we need to adapt immediately. @ProfBillMcGuire theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@StillUnsung What were the max UK temperatures in 1586? No fcker knows! And reliable temperature instrumentation wasn't standardised until 1890s FFS!!!

It's so painfully clear that climate change is real People talk about how "it was just as hot in 1976! So climate change isnt real" And then ignore that 1976 is their only example of an unbearably hot summer and that most of the last 10 years have been as hot or hotter than 1976

IIRC the heat in 1976 lasted for about 6 weeks. Not just a couple of days And we all very quickly got used to it Its called 'acclimatise' for a reason And it wasn't 'unbearably hot' It was the best summer ever!

@weatherbom @volcaholic1 @weatherbom Tell me, what was the comparable temperature pattern from 1500 to 1520?

19 years in the UK where the temperature has exceeded 34c and 9 since 2000. What was once a one in ten year event is now a one in six year event. #climatechange @volcaholic1
