This article says climate change is “believed to have played a role” in the UK's extreme heat this week.
As a climate scientist, let me fact-check that.
First, climate change is not a religion. No belief is required. It is about evidence.
And the evidence has been crystal clear for more than two decades: climate change is making heat waves hotter, longer, more frequent and more dangerous.
In fact, science has advanced far beyond saying climate change merely “played a role.” Today, we can quantify how much more likely and how much hotter climate change made a specific event.
Here's the bottom line:
Climate is changing. Humans are responsible. And we are experiencing the impacts now. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that solutions already exist, and the majority of people care - 89%, around the world!
But meaningful action depends on helping people understand not just what is happening: we need to know how it affects our lives (this heat wave being example A today) and what we can do about it.
That’s the opportunity this reporting missed.

This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about my mom, and all the lessons she taught me. I'm proud to honor her memory with the Ann Dunham Water Terrace at the Obama Presidential Center.
The only poll that matters is tomorrow.
Please vote and if you can - get involved with your local campaign!
Some of these seats are going to come to a handful of votes.
Replace Labour. Stop Reform.
Vote Green. 💚
Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift
"As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what"
"We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne"
"We didn't receive another reply"
Any Indians voting for Reform right now ought to hang their heads in shame.
Our father's and grandfather's fought against the very racism they stand with today.
A Reform councillor said he was glad a sikh woman had been racially raped. Have these Indians no shame??
Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!
Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.
Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
London just did it again!
This is the fourth consecutive year that London has come out on top in this study. It scores 1st for its “liveability” (natural and built environment) and its “prosperity”
@IanMalcolm84@pallnandi Zionists. Often misatken for jews. Once jews are free of zionism, armaggedon will be prevented, peace will be acheived for ever and the earth will heal with human technology rather than drilling for oil and bombing history. #propheciesofendtime
Tucker Carlson, "What do you think of Gaza?"
Zanny Beddoes, "I went in with the IDF, what you see is a flattened place.. I think it's a disaster for the future of Israel"
Tucker Carlson, "Why would you describe it first as a disaster for the future of Israel? Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians murdered, but it's first and foremost a disaster for Israel? It's foremost a disaster for the families of the dead kids"
"The real problem with calling people anti semites who aren't, is accusing the innocent of a crime they didn't commit"
"The real crime in Gaza is killing people who did nothing wrong"
"Those are the real problems but no one can say it because you have to be like, oh no October 7th"
Zanny Beddoes, "I don't know what you'e talking about Carlson"
Tucker Carlson bursts into laugh then says, "Everyone watching this knows what I'm talking about"

Worth watch history of #iran#persia they always lose battles but somehow win the heats and minds of their captors to surivive even in biblical times
But definitely dont ask why the United States has a military base 15,000km away from its territory, on a coral island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, that was illegally cleansed of all of its native inhabitants to make way for the installation
Block the straight of Hormuz for a week and the world goes mad but block the Rafah crossing for years, preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza and nobody bats an eye. It’s not hard to see that this world values markets, profit and capitalism over human lives.
