So Rishi Sunak's ex-boss Richard Sharp not only "gave" the @Conservatives £400,000, & helped arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson just before Johnson appointed him, but Sharp was also a #TuftonStreet think tank Director, resigning just a month before he became @BBC Chair... https://twitter.com/docrussjackson/status/1636369516069535744

Such a good graphic from @FT on the difference between a climate warming of 1.5C and 2C
On many of the metrics like crop yields, species loss, heatwaves, the impacts don't just go up a little, they double

Need to explain students about fixed points in dynamical systems, and I am making a plot of the most common cases (still not sure whether animating it would make it more or less understandable).
