Trump's tariffs will cost the average household $2,400 per year, estimates the Yale Budget Lab. And they take a bigger chunk out of working class paychecks. The Admin hasn't released its analysis, suggesting it didn't do any, or its numbers are worse. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/state…

Americans have been exposed to the biggest misinformation campaign in history. They are being lied to about climate change, environmental pollution and vaccines. And the extremists who are responsible for misinformation like Steve Milloy celebrate killing fellow Americans.

The majority of Britons now admit Brexit was a mistake, but extremists like Julia Hartley-Brewer continue to pretend otherwise: whatukthinks.org/eu/questions/i…

With an amber heat alert issued across England, remember that vulnerable people are more at risk from higher temperatures. Make sure elderly family and friends keep hydrated, and wear sunscreen if going out. Visit the NHS website for advice. ☀️ nhs.uk/live-well/seas…

This is nonsense. Kent will end up spending far more on petrol, maintenance, etc. Reform UK adherence to an extremely stupid ideology will cost people more.

This Elon Musk fanatic is callously trying to make fun of Mete Coban MBE for promoting cool spaces, which are recommended by experts and proven to help people whose homes overheat or who struggle with the heat when outside.

Has renewable energy reduced electricity prices? As I discuss over at The Climate Brink, empirical evidence over the past 24 years in the US points to yes. Here is the change in non-hydro utility scale renewables and electricity prices for each state.

The President is relentlessly focused on reducing the price of "groceries," so he just imposed a 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes because Mexican farmers charge Americans *low* prices. nytimes.com/2025/07/14/bus…

This commentator will not talk about how natural gas producers are still fleecing British consumers with high electricity prices due to Russia’s war on Ukraine. Why is he afraid of telling his followers the truth?

This daft American Trump supporter thinks he knows better than Britain’s Met Office. We are used to Trump supporters making stuff up.

Hilarious nonsense from Britain’s daftest politician. The £70 million adds to £500 million from Singapore’s government to tackle climate change in Philippines and other countries across SE Asia. But Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 is a climate change denier so does not understand.

Bookburners celebrate! Next they will be forcing the scientists on to ducking stools. America really is a backward place now.

Here is Reform UK pledging it will make British consumers more dependent on volatile supplies of imported natural gas. Bad for the economy and bad for the environment.
