I live just down the road from this weather station, and can confirm from my own scientific observations that it was at least a gazillion degrees.
And to be more sombre about this: any politics that doesn't start from the existential nature of the climate crisis is just not a serious contribution.
New hottest winter Antarctic temperature on record: 15.4°C at Esperanza base.
That’s around 20°C warmer than usual and it’s raining when it should be snowing.

This heatwave is historic
In case you hadn't grasped the magnitude of the problem on a day when UK temperature records are being annihilated.
Recommended watch: BBC News reported on a coastal community in Nigeria where the ocean has "already swallowed more than half of the town".

I had an EV charger installed today and it comes with a variety of lighting themes. I think we can all agree that it’s what she would’ve wanted.

I learnt that you can’t have many red buildings around penguins.

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
Think of CO₂ removal like a time machine. How far back does planting 100 million trees take us?
One mature tree takes up ~25 kg of CO₂/year, so 100 million trees will take up 2.5 MtCO₂. That's a time machine that takes us back ~33 minutes in a year. Nature will not save us from fossil fuel CO₂.
One of the most anomalous locations today was in Cornwall - Camborne broke its previous May record temperature by OVER 5ºC, its June record by OVER 2ºC and just missed out on breaking its all-time maximum temperature record of 30.4ºC from July 2022 by 0.3ºC. Unbelievable.
