This short deck - 10 slides - grabs some of the more useful graphs coming out of the climate science, and reinforces a single, unfortunate point:

After an FOI dispute lasting 18 months I've finally obtained the official reasons Boris Johnson gave for peerages of Charlotte Owen & Ross Kempsell. The reasons cited for Owen seem thin, inadequate & lacking in evidence, leaving her peerage as a mystery rather than justifying it.
