As major flooding hits Spain & Greece, a reminder that global COโ emissions cause global temperatures to rise, including in the UK.
As a direct consequence, due to well-understood physics, the atmosphere is more humid.
So, when it rains, it rains more.
All seen in observations.
The evidence has been so clear, for so long. We canโt burn fossil fuels without breaking the climate. I have absolutely no faith in the current government to follow this evidence, but we truly need leaders that will #NoNewOil
Even if COโ emissions decreased annually as much as during the pandemic lockdown, we wouldn't achieve our climate targets.
While individuals made huge sacrifices, the system remained. This shows that individual action will not solve climate change. We need the system to change.
Latest observations of global temperature change shown as a 'climate spiral' using monthly averages from January 1850 to June 2023.
Uses @metoffice HadCRUT5 dataset, representing change relative to the 1850-1900 'pre-industrial' era.
Rome crushes its all-time temperature record by two degrees--two degrees *Celsius.*
That's statistically...crazy. But it shows we're living on a new planet
Electric flight! Thanks to Archibalds, our Kea Atmos Mk1 aircraft received a boost from an electric @AudiOfficial launch vehicle, the stunning Audi e-tron Sportback S line. After reaching takeoff speed, the solar-powered aircraft is released for flight testing! #cleanenergy
