It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.
Exceptional heat is sparking wildfires and heatwaves around the world
Here's a selection of newspaper frontpages from the last few days (ongoing thread)
1/ Spain
On the left is a 2020 Met Office prediction of what a 2050 summer heatwave could look like.
On the right is a BBC weather forecast made this morning, for this coming Tuesday.
The Climate Crisis is real and it's happening now. Wake the f**k up.
I know this is random but.. my sister told me she tucks her dogs into bed every night. I told her to send me photos and now it’s my new favourite thing. Who else is doing this? 😍
This is the moment Nades arrived home from work to the news that Australians had elected a new government, that has pledged to finally bring he and his family - wife Priya and daughters Kopika and Tharnicaa - safely home to Biloela.

The important thing to note about the last minute debacle over COVID-affected voters is that the politician who forced the government to fix the problem was an independent candidate, @Mon4Kooyong. Not a party or a sitting MP. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Do not understand why eligibility to vote by phone does not go back for seven days, so anyone with Covid since last Friday can still vote. Cannot bear think of an Australian democracy that supports voter suppression with this pandemic still raging. #auspol#democracy
People who did not apply for a postal vote before the Wed 6pm application deadline, haven’t voted yet, tested positive before 6pm Tues, and are in isolation through to after election day, may not be able to vote.
Will the Biloela family,Bernard Collaery,Renewable energy,the Uluṟu Statement,the ABC, a federal ICAC,the Murray Darling,the Climate crisis and animal extinctions lose the election?
We have a chance this Saturday to end this nightmare
Enough is enough. My heart can’t take anymore
Lets stand with refugees
Stand for Uluru Statement
Stand for action on climate change
Stand for a fairer, kinder & more compassionate Australia
Make your vote count. #ausvotes
You mean to tell me the man who went on a holiday as the entire country burned in extraordinary bushfires, whose government put aside $5 billion for disaster relief, which still, years later, has not been spent––gave no relief––is within the margin of error to win the election?
