[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

Record-breaking rainfall and flash floods have hit Spain, causing dozens of casualties and massive disruption and economic losses. It underlines why the top priority of the WMO community is to save lives as climate change super-charges extreme weather.

🚨We recently launched the Science Emergency Fund—dedicated to powering our most urgent, critical work to defend science and brace for imminent political attacks to come—and we can't do it alone. https://t.co/xjg4U0gJF7

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Personally, I think restoring our life support systems to maintain life on Earth as we know it is what they call a good investment

But $700 billion? Where would we find that kind of money?

This is huge news for the BDS movement and goes to show that it bloody works!!

[James Meadway @meadwaj]

I find it increasingly weird that on one side we have overwhelming evidence of already serious and worsening climate impacts, and on the other both an economics profession and a political discourse that still thinks “economic growth” is the natural state of affairs. 1/2

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Once upon a time I thought the relationship between scientists and governments would be like that between a look-out and the captain of a ship

You know, one warns of danger and the other takes appropriate action to keep everyone safe

How fucking naive 😂😢
