We’re canceling all remaining oil and gas leases issued under the previous administration in the Arctic Refuge and protecting more than 13 million acres in the Western Arctic.

As the climate crisis warms the Arctic, we have a responsibility to protect this treasured region for all ages.

As a French person, trust me, you want to get ahead of this one

[Patrick Barkham @patrick_barkham]

The invasive yellow-legged/"Asian" hornet is now established in Kent and @DefraGovUK still won't allow beekeepers to catch, mark and release hornets (so they can be tracked to their nests). Jersey's hornet hunters warned us of this back in May... https://t.co/1zev8FSHNX

BREAKING: Palermo in Sicily has just obliterated its all-time heat record by over 2°C. The previous record was +44.8°C in August 1999.

The observatory has weather data dating back to 1791. This is a very significant record to fall by such an enormous margin.

[Hugo Tagholm @HugoSAS]

Scary in the movies.

Even more scary in reality.

As the climate crisis builds, so does climate change denial.

V big from the Office for Budget Responsibility....

*Costs of NOT zero could be double the costs of reaching it*

They find keeping relying on gas & crisis similar to today's every 10y (v possible as gas = volatile) adds 13% GDP to public debt by 2050
