This week I urged MPs to be on the right side of history.
We look back on the tobacco ad ban as a no-brainer and vital to protecting our health - so why do we still allow fossil fuel giants to spend millions hiding the harmful effects of their products?

Screenshot of a headline which says "'Profound concern' as scientists say extreme heat 'now the norm' in UK", with a subtitle that reads "Increasing frequency of heatwaves and flooding raises fears over health, infrastructure and how society functions."
Scary to see extreme heat become the norm in the UK - this will cost more and more lives.
What is govt doing to protect us from these effects of climate change that are already with us?
And how can they justify giving go-ahead to airport expansion which will worsen the crisis?
Climate breakdown tripled death toll in Europe’s June heatwave
In The Guardian Malcolm Mistry explains why #heatwaves are 'silent killers' following rapid analysis with Imperial College London which estimates 2,300 deaths caused by extreme heat across 12 cities.

Completely agree with Dr Richard Smith at @ukhealthclimate.bsky.social “Health does not come from health services… if we’re living in a filthy place on a filthy planet, nobody can be healthy”

As horrific fires rage in LA, news comes that world has breached 1.5 degree limit on global heating. When will political leaders join the dots & take urgent far-reaching action? Leave all new fossil fuels in the ground & prioritise building resilience - home retrofits, flood defences & much more
Explore our research on how the UK public been affected by extreme heat and what they think about the risks it poses by Dr @neiljennings.bsky.social, Dr @paulinepaterson.bsky.social, Dr Clair Barnes, Professor @lwhitmarsh.bsky.social and Dr Candice Howarth @granthamlse.bsky.social: ow.ly/F4iv50UE9pp
Street full of parked cars in Bordeaux France, Google photo from 2008.
Same location in Bordeaux photo taken by me in 2023.
Before & After: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.
Looking forward to speaking to prospective students about our MSc in Climate Change and Planetary Health later at our open evening at LSHTM
