I went in with a bold statement on yesterday's podcast: that #Earthday2024 will come to be known as the beginning of the end of the climate crisis.
Tune in to hear whether I managed to convince Christiana Figueres and Paul Dickinson... or whether they managed to convince me otherwise.

Delighted to be speaking Earth Day Initiative shortly - tune in! #EarthDay2024

Thanks Simon. My understanding from Met Office is there is there is a medium likelihood of increasing in number and as you say, the severity looks quite likely to be increased. Those feel like two important points to make as we face yet more rain and wind 😨

Disappointed to see BBC News (UK) continuing to miss opportunities to highlight that a warming world means more storms. Appreciate that not every storm caused by heating but there is a trend and to not even mention it seems negligent Simon King #StormKathleen

Great to talk to Hannah Ritchie this week, reminding us that seeing what we have already achieved can help build a wave of momentum that has the potential to carry us forward. If we feel like the task is impossible, that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I love doing these episodes of O+O - brilliant questions from listeners as ever. Thank you.

We've all seen the wild underestimates of solar growth

But have you seen the wild underestimates of coal's decline in the US?

It's enough to warm a cold cynical heart ❤️‍🩹

We love this article by Tom Rivett-Carnac and Oliver Jeffers.
