Since I’m not a scientist, I thought I’d share this👇 for anyone considering following me. I'll also admit to being pretty chuffed with this feedback, particularly as Kevin was the straight-talking scientist who most inspired me to work on this full-time.
For those wanting to keep their finger on the pulse of the unfolding climate narrative/tragedy (with a strong UK focus),
@SiOldridge
is certainly worth following. More candid & quantitatively robust than many climate academics (particularly senior ones!).

I've done all I can to persuade my MP to support science-led action on climate & nature, but to no avail. We can't afford another term of inaction.

ocean current may collapse in a few decades, leaving UK as cold as frozen Labrador in northern Canada.
Agricultural output would plummet = starvation.
Emergency action could save us.
This should be top of the news & given urgent parliamentary time.
“Here we provide statistical significance and data-driven estimators for the time of tipping. We estimate a collapse of the AMOC to occur around mid-century under the current scenario of future emissions.”

My Conservative MP
@AnthonyMangnal1
's deeply misleading article in which he claims that Sunak's speech 'establishes the UK as a global leader in environmental stewardship'. He must think we're complete idiots.

Very persuasive arguments that Stonehenge shouldn't've been targeted. But no information on why people are so worried, other than... 'climate change'.
Why 50 minutes on Stonehenge and
We don’t want this climate future for Europe - in my view it’s a risk we should avoid at all cost, as I explain in this video:
