UK's Met Office is switching off this useful screen of information in favour of its Teletubbified big panels of bright colour with no information.

#WeatherScience people, can someone identify where this image is sourced from, and tell me how I can find similar relative humidity charts for other dates/times?

The only 'pragmatic approach' to #OilAndGas, Mr #Burnham, is to shut it all down, arrest all the executives, and put them all on trial charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

The #MetOffice is already predicting temperatures which will cause mass deaths in the #UK within thirty years.

@urlyman

The UK #MetOffice is predicting temperatures by mid century which will trigger mass death events. It's now too late to prevent this, because of inertia and hysteresis in the climate system. So it's already too late to have a 'soft landing', even in what are now temperate zones.

What we need to be building towards is #lifeboats -- relatively self-sufficient regions which can survive when global systems fail.

Because they will.

A fortnight ago, I posted a blog post about the risk of mass deaths given the #metoffice predictions for summer temperatures mid-century; but then I noticed I'd made a significant mistake, and rolled it back.

I've now revised it. It's not quite as bleak as it was. It's pretty bleak.
