The Met Office has been working hard to make more of our weather and climate data available for interest or research. I’ll share some links in a thread 🧪First up is our climate data portal climatedataportal.metoffice.gov.uk

While it's very funny to watch The Metals Company whine about the deep ocean oxygen discovery they helped fund, I worry that this only the start. Climate tech startups want science to support their business case, but many are going to discover that science is about reality, not their bottom line 1/2

Excellent piece from the Australian Sydney Morning Herald that puts the Chinese green industrial revolution in a balanced context and language most can absorb. Excellent journalism www.smh.com.au/environment/...

‘It’s good news’: Scientists suspect history about to be made in China
‘It’s good news’: Scientists suspect history about to be made in China

Evidence is mounting that some time over the past few months, China’s greenhouse gas emissions peaked. If so, it is likely that a global decline has begun.

Museum folks, please bring your fury! Like the Duke herabarium, the National Museum of Wales is now in danger of losing support for all its geology/paleo collections! 🧪 Petition: petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/24...

Screenshot from my collaborator Joe Botting's fb post:
There's horrendous news about funding for Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales... and they need help. 
    I'm an Honorary Research Fellow there, but the current funding cuts mean that the geology department is about to cut down to almost nobody. As I understand it, they will lose everyone except one palaeontology curator and one collections manager. No other staff, and no mineralogists whatsoever - they will all be sacked, including three of my friends, at a time when finding another job in the field is nigh-on impossible. The NMW palaeontology collections are a major repository of knowledge, both of Welsh material and further afield. Having so few staff basically mothballs the collection, and puts it at risk of closing completely. This is unthinkable... but it seems to be happening. 
The cuts also affect the National Library and the Royal Commission. I'm not one for petitions in general, but this one needs help in order to be
