  RIP Jason Arday. The media and social media hounding of one living individual, taking apart his whole life, was awful. Guardian, Telegraph, you with headline articles about him day after day: you are all to blame.

  #ClimateDiary Supermarkets sounding alarm over food security; yesterday a wildfire in Suffolk came close to a nuclear power station; drought declared in half of England: And not a peep from Burnham. Nothing!! Maybe he is too busy rolling out popular measures pre-prepared to react to what is actually going on. #UKPolitics https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/tesco-sainsburys-aldi-sound-alarm-food-supplies-britain-5HjdfLY_2/

  #ClimateDiaries Meanwhile, with #Wildfires burning everywhere, floods, hailstorms, droughts, failed harvests, heatwaves and 10,000s of deathts right now: new commercial flying records set 23rd July 2026, with more flights in air at once than ever before.

  #ClimateDiary The Times today, Saturday 25th July. Sums up this moment perfectly: the world is on fire, but the right and supporting media relentlessly push through their anti #NetZero agenda. I wonder whether extreme weather events this year and next - climate emergency in full swing! - will make any difference to current policy momentum. I fear not. But who knows. Burnham on #Rosebank will be indicative.

  RE: https://fediscience.org/@rahmstorf/116975227719721801 #ClimateDiary One of our most eminent climate scientists, warning us daily about AMOC slowdown and more, posting this from his holidays; a picture he took on his phone.

  #ClimateDiary Mother texting worried about our upcoming trip through France to Spain because of #Wildfires. I then saw that Google Maps provides updates. Sharing in case useful for anyone else. Meanwhile, yesterday 5th local wildfire here, near Eastbourne, in Sussex. (PS we are driving to Spain in our electric car. But yes, reply guys probably have every right to say - like my mother! - you are contributing to the problem)

  #ClimateDiary Rhine, Danube, Elbe, Loire. Some of Europe’s biggest rivers are going dry this summer Thinking about that list of river names, so full of European history and meaning for so many of us. They really ARE us, sources of life, shaping all that Europe is. This brings home how vital #RightsOfNature, giving rivers rights, really are. Loire almost there- hope it happens for all, v soon. https://www.downtoearth.org.in/climate-change/rhine-danube-elbe-loire-some-of-europes-biggest-rive...

  #ClimateDiary Those images of the fires on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh - terrifying, apocalyptic. Adding this to #DystopiaDiary too. Let’s not ever get used to this, let’s continue to refuse to accept this as normal.

  RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/116938465316233197 #ClimateDiary Fuming about my family (as so often - it is unfair, but they are very very nice liberal centrists, and so whenever I yet again rage against liberal centrists, I focus on them, which is NOT fair!). They all love Mark Carney. Because he did so much about climate when Gov of Bank of England.

  And for second week in a row, an opportunity for combining #ClimateDiary and #FensterFreitag offered itself - and again it is also about the joy of improvisation! Spotted at friends’ house yesterday - very impressed by their umbrella placement to reduce heat 😊 #Heatwave #WindowFriday

  This is a lovely, hugely inspiring clip about how the botanist Hugh Wilson revived an Aotearoa, New Zealand landscape destroyed by farming, simoly by letting gorse be and do its own thing. #Regenerative #RegenerativeAnthropology https://youtu.be/ncl8zknx2T8

  #ClimateDiary Facebook is a cesspit I know. I was not on it for 3 years but reactivated my account for local elections in May(stood as a #GreenParty candidate). Awful as it is, it is the best source of local news, including #Wildfires. 3 in last few days. I wouldn’t be aware of any of this without FB. Also the warnings and advice - none of it. 1/2

  #ClimateDiary There are #Wildfires everywhere. Everywhere! Right here outside Eastbourne, other places in Sussex; in Wales, Scotland, France, Spain, Germany, US, etc etc. It really is the #Pyrocene. And yet STILL hardly anyone is talking about it.

  #ClimateDiary Yesterday another evening walk, beautiful light again, but this time unsettling. Chestnuts almost fully formed, ripened blackberries, dried brown dropped leaves everywhere, and of course dried grass. 12th July. I mean, this really is not normal, right? Chestnuts and blackberries in July? (or was i not paying attention before; perennial question- #Phenology)

  #ClimateDiary This Red Cross “Overheating Adaptation Guide for Homes” has been put together for UK residents. 43 measures people can take to cool their homes. “Our homes in the UK are dangerously overheating. They are not built to withstand hot weather nor the temperature increases climate change will bring.” #Heatwave #HeatAdaptation https://www.shadetheuk.com/overheating-adaptation-guide-for-homes

  #ClimateDiary 1/3 Awful wildfire deaths in Spain, especially somehow when you read that if they had stayed at home, they would have been ok. Also, whilst the usual focus on “your own” in this article (four Brits amongst dead) is annoying, nevertheless I can imagine that not being familiar with an area makes you even more vulnerable, and the whole experience terrifying in different ways. Reading the second piece, by a long term British resident, really bring this out: https://www.theguardian.com...

  #ClimateDiary Just in case anyone else has also been seeing a lot of these ads for portable air conditioners: 'Cool in 90 seconds' - the fake portable air conditioners sweeping the internet https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj6g41pzy41o

  #RegenerativeAnthropology Teaching is a prime site for practicing and thinking through what #RegenerativeAnthropology might look like. For us, #RegenerativePedagogy has to be about the whole person, and include critique, practice and wisdom. A) Critique. Fostering critical thinking is the mainstay of anthropology and university teaching as a whole, and indeed, it is more vital than ever: the world needs people who question the status quo and understand power. 1/n

  #RegenerativeAnthropology OK so for the next four days I will share some (visually highly sophisticated! Don’t laugh!) images to illustrate what #RegenerativeAnthropology can mean. Today is about WHAT we hope to help regenerate: A)The world (modest, I know!). Contribute to regeneration, (re)finding pathways to regenerating the world we live in B) Anthropology itself, and higher education as a whole, is in dire straights - we need to change, regenerate so much here 1/3

  RE: https://climatejustice.social/@muellertadzio/116849062588027578 #ClimateDiary The world is using so much more energy every year that renewables can’t keep up: use of ALL energy sources continues to rise. One case in point (#WorldCup and all): football transmission. Everything streamed all the time uses up masses of energy (a student doing her dissertation on this - that’s why it’s in my mind!)

  #ClimateDiary my sister sharing this video of a tornado over the Bodensee. Ads for air conditioners everywhere (and of course the wider #ACDebate). England - DR Congo playing in 35°C in Atlanta. Every Teams call starting with a conversation about heat. 1000s extra deaths. It is all everywhere, and yet it STILL feels like everyone’s main objective is to keep going as if everything is fine, everything is normal. https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/badenwuerttemberg/tornado-bodensee-102.htm...

  #Budget #UKPolitics This article by Gary Stevenson is so good, please read every word of it. “Whatever Jeremy Hunt says, traders know the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. And they’re paid millions to bet on it.” This is what the world is - it is run by a minute elite for a minute elite and the rest of us, the masses, the natural world, we just don’t count. It is a #TragedyOftheNonCommons (will reshare my own piece on this below 1/n) #FollowTheMoney https://www.theguardian....

  #ClimateDiary As heat spreads East in #France over 1000 deaths already recorded, including many at home in flats. “This serves as a reminder of the need for measures of solidarity towards people who are isolated or experiencing profound loneliness, including in highly urbanised areas,” the health agency said in a statement. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/28/temperature-records-tumble-across-europe-as-heatwave-moves-east?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

  #ClimateDiary In #Gaza too it is extremely hot now. People are living in tents in rubble, no fan or aircon. Israel continues to bomb, kill (“target practice”on children), and move the yellow line every day, squeezing people into 30% of (already small) Gaza by now. It also continues to limit access to water as s weapon of war. It is horrendous. 1/2 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Eaq42Z8Mu/?mibextid=wwXIfr
