It's dangerously hot in Europe right now.

The reason these events keep happening starts somewhere most people aren't looking. The Arctic.

Find out exactly why Europe had one of it's most extreme years on record last year: https://t.co/ager9nyO3q

Heat is a growing threat to heart health in India, where cardiovascular disease is already the leading cause of death.
High temperatures strain the heart and worsen wider risks — from respiratory illness to food, water, and disease pressures.

Amsterdam is the world's first capital city to ban ads for meat, flights, cruises and petrol cars - on trams, metros and billboards.

A capital doing this signals where the market's heading: https://t.co/zUx3OmmGBE

Extreme heat is already costing lives, productivity and resilience. Allianz finds heat-stress events have risen sevenfold since the 1980s; above 30°C, each extra degree can cut labour productivity by ~3%. Read more 🔗 https://t.co/ZMBTeEjUBW

Antarctica lost ~2 million km² of sea ice in 2023. Warmer deep ocean water is rising, melting sea ice and making it harder to return. Less ice = more heat absorbed, accelerating warming. What happens there affects us all. Read more 🔗 https://t.co/X5ahJ6UGoy

#ThrowbackTuesday - a year ago, James Grecian was tracking melting ice in Antarctica. Now we're heading into another Arctic melt season. Record-low sea ice. Accelerating glacier loss. None of this stays at the poles.

Venice has always lived with water—but the balance is shifting. As seas rise and the city sinks, flooding is reshaping lives, homes, and livelihoods. This isn’t future risk—it’s now. And coastal cities worldwide face the same. Are we ready? Read more 🔗 https://t.co/Y3vGooLYzy

Climate change affects everyone. The GCRP exists to ensure the science behind it is just as accessible - turning climate research into something anyone can explore, understand, and act on.

7 million people have already explored it. Now it's your turn: https://t.co/NR7oD2fuMY

The Arctic is changing fast—and for Indigenous communities, it’s personal.
Sea-ice loss, erosion & thawing permafrost are affecting food, wellbeing, culture & resilience.
Climate action must protect people & futures.

Something ancient is escaping from beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. 715 tonnes of Methane every year from the western margin alone.

What makes this especially alarming: current climate models do not account for it.

In 2023, cardiovascular disease killed 19.1m people — over 52,000 every day. A 1°C rise in global temperature could raise deaths by 2.1%. Arctic change is intensifying heat and pollution worldwide. Read more 🔗 https://t.co/E4g5B1N0xg

A23a is about to vanish from the Earth forever.

When Antarctic ice collapses at this speed, the world feels it. Marine species lose feeding grounds, ocean ecosystems shift, and sea levels rise - threatening coastal communities worldwide.

You’re not alone in feeling anxious—millions are. A warming climate is making it worse. Rising temps (1–3°C) are linked to higher anxiety, depression & suicide rates.

On Earth Day, we're reminded: when climate change destabilises food and water security and displaces communities, it impacts our wellbeing.

The biggest danger is not the crisis. It's us thinking someone else will fix it. See how you can help today at https://t.co/PQorX7IWpT.
