Our continued burning of fossil fuels drives drying of the Pantanal, leading to more severe fire conditions, destroying countless flora & fauna in the world’s largest tropical wetlands https://t.co/VmrKrmiL97

Deadly heat that would have been very rare without climate change & even relatively rare just 20 years ago, now common event due to continued increase in emissions from burning fossil fuels. We now this is happening, but we are not prepared. https://t.co/M93eB8TiIu

Brutal heat... New Delhi, India 🇮🇳 just recorded its hottest night on record at the Safdarjung Observatory (data since 1901).

The heatwave has been rewriting many records. New Delhi has hit 40°C or greater for 37 consecutive days now.

I’ve seen eight letters denying African delegates a visa to enter Germany for the Bonn #SB60 climate talks. Some African campaigners are calling for the talks to be moved somewhere everyone can get to https://t.co/4JeL8tyTJa

For weeks, I was seeing stories of school closures due to extreme heat. All over the world. Philippines, Mexico, India, Cambodia, Pakistan.

How many kids are losing education due to high temperatures?

[DW Europe @dw_europe]

Drought, wildfires, floods and record heat in Europe. Last year was one of extreme climate impacts for humans and nature. But there's also some positive news when it comes to renewables.

@doberah @guardian @connollyberlin Congratulations, Deborah! That’s amazing news!

@dantemaschio Soy periodista y estoy intentando ponerme en contacto con usted para un reportaje en el que estoy trabajando. Le ruego que me devuelva el follow o me envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected] Muchas gracias!

@Emma_J_Loftus @mauricetfrank I don’t have that reaction at all. I’m a Brit and use “so-called” in English just to talk about something readers might not have heard of before. I see it as completely neutral, but I have had discussions about it with some editors.

@NiranjanAjit All definite challenges.

Climate change, not El Niño, was the main driver of the Amazon drought in 2023.

Our study found that climate change made the agricultural Amazon drought 30 times more likely from June to November.

The @IEA's Electricity 2024 report is out today.

It expects clean power – nuclear and renewables – to cover all extra electricity demand over the next 3 years.

At a global level (not in every country).

@IEA There is a COP28 goal of tripling renewable capacity by 2030.

We should get a fair chunk of the way there, but there is still a gap to fill. Let's get building!

[Louise Osborne @LouLizzie]

Global annual renewable capacity additions increased by almost 50% in 2023 - fastest growth in the past 20 years, says new @IEA report. But the agency says work still needs to be done if governments want to reach COP28 goal of tripling renewables by 2030. https://t.co/ARCQBEHcGg

@NiranjanAjit It's better, but I still have the feeling it could still be clearer, otherwise there are people who may just see FT and maybe not realise what "partner content" means.
