Marvellous to see everyone at the Fate of the World launch party at the Gower Street @waterstones.bsky.social in London last night.

A useful infographic about the 2026 Super El Nino
Actually not yet confirmed as the strongest ever, but this looks increasingly likely according to modelling
An unprecedented 3C+ sea-surface temperature anomaly is certainly on the cards
To say this is not good news would be an understatement
Sea-surface temperature across El Nino region 3.4 heading into unknown territory
We don't know where this will end up
Starfleet!
Think you are getting a little bit ahead of yourselves there - idiots

What is it that makes some people enjoy killing animals?
The excuse is often - oh it's traditional, we've always done it
You could have said the same things about slavery
F*ck tradition - no excuse for such cruelty in 2026

How many times have you heard the phrase
I'm not a climate denier but.......
It's right up there with I'm not a racist but......

As what looks like an unprecedented #hyperElNino builds in the Pacific
It's worth knowing that a permanent El Nino state may have existed during the Pliocene, 3 million years ago
This is a climate we are on the verge of returning to
