My name is Simon and I make videos to improve your climate literacy.

In particular I focus on the physical Earth system, and how the atmosphere, climate, and climate change intersects with our lives. Sometimes I even try to be funny.

Since completing my PhD in atmospheric physics at the University of Exeter, this has been my full time job. I also stream on Twitch, host the How To Make A Science Video podcast, and wrote a book!

Absolutely delighted to say that my half marathon swim fundraiser has now raised over £39,500 for Dorothy House Hospice and Cancer Research UK.

Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated: you have made a big difference, especially to the operations of Dorothy House.

The swim may be done but the fundraiser is still open! So if you would like to get us a bit closer to the symbolic £40,000 threshold, you can do so here: www.givewheel.com/fundraising/8823/simonswim/

We are now just ONE WEEK away from my half marathon swim to raise money for my local cancer hospice and Cancer Research UK. So far we've raised £23k, which I'm absolutely blown away by...

...but can you help us get to £25k before the swim? Please contribute at www.givewheel.com/fundraising/8823/simonswim/

Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to the fundraiser - just before my 15km training swim we hit £20k raised! I wonder if we can get to £30k before the big day...

Well that didn't take long - RSVP my chest hair

Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated. I'm struggling to process your generosity, or decide what on Earth the target should be now!

The Met Office is currently looking for people to suggest up to 5 names for storms...
It would be great if thousands all suggested the same 5 names (in alphabetical order as that's how storm names appear):
BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, Shell.

Met Office page is: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-our-storms-call-fo…



Whilst the Met Office is unlikely to adopt any of the above 5 names, if they are suggested in huge numbers it may attract media coverage, as was the case with Boaty McBoatface but with more serious intent. This would be enough to make the point to the government and the wider British public, might even get some overseas attention.

Climate lads on tour! Climate lads on tour!

Was honoured to be invited back to 10 Downing St to have breakfast with Ed Miliband and a dozen climate creators (including ya boy Dave Borlace from ‪@JustHaveaThink‬ ) this morning.

We discussed how the department for energy security and net zero can more effectively engage the public on climate issues, and how we can build a two way conversation with experts and the public.

Met some truly inspiring people and definitely came away with several ideas for future projects!
