Interessant grafiekje van Alphons van Winden: Dit is de dalende wateraanvoer voor het IJsselmeer van maart tot juli dit jaar. Blauw is de IJssel. Groen is de Overijsselse Vecht en oranje is het aandeel rivierwater dat uit de IJssel wordt gepompt in onder meer het Twentekanaal.
What was once paradise is now hell
All across the planet forests are going up in flames
Meanwhile what forests remain Canada is logging its ancient Trees
And building a mega new West Coast oil pipeline designed to carry 1 million barrels of crude oil per day
Burn baby burn
A climate scientist is clearly brilliant on climate science & the dangers of this moment.
Even more powerful @KevinClimate says "As individuals we don't have much power. When we're a collective, we have so much power."
It's time to take back our power.

All governments have to do to address, the climate and ecological emergency, is just to acknowledge it is the most significant threat facing humanity, and agree to take immediate action, to address and avert the emergency.

Meat-based diets use 75% more land than plant-based diets.
Today, humans and the animals we keep for food account for 96% of all mammals
If the world adopted a plant-based diet we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares

Wir müssen einfach damit aufhören, den Klimawandel weiter zu verursachen. Wenn wir groß genug sind, ihn zu verursachen, dann sind wir auch groß genug, damit aufzuhören.
Climate denial is getting louder. Reality is getting harder to ignore.
When parks are brown, rivers are shrinking and firefighters are battling blazes across the globe, governments must accelerate climate action, not slow it down.

Instead of annexing, the Trump regime and its supporters are simply doing and taking what they want
Denmark and the EU should put a stop to this illegal incursion now - using force if need be
It is the only thing these fascists understand

"An American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities."
The President has always been a rapist. He's still a rapist.
Scenes of hell from Lake Garda one of Italy's most popular holiday regions
More than 200 evacuated as tourists flee
Meanwhile EU is watering down its climate action and Trump is paying billions to block solar and wind to turn the planet into an inferno even faster

Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump.
His investment worked. He is now $438 billion richer.
Now, he wants to buy Congress by spending $100 million to keep Republicans in control.
We must fight oligarchy. Defeat Musk. Preserve democracy.
10 years I wrote a book about why letting the planet warm by 2C - far from avoiding dangerous climate change - would fuck us all up. About 5 people read it I think.
I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
Die #Erderhitzung macht extreme Waldbrände viel wahrscheinlicher. Was allgemein längst wissenschaftlich unumstritten ist (siehe Berichte des IPCC) wurde in einer Studie jetzt nochmals konkret für die aktuellen Feuer in Frankreich und Spanien belegt. https://t.co/d7slINNpeY
😳🥵 Now a typical sight in Europe: businesses with AC unit on, door fully open, blasting even more heat into the street during the heatwaveS. I took this picture of a business in a modern, "energy efficient" building no less.
What I remember is all the climate denying trolls in 2018-19 making fun of Greta, Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion and all of climate science for saying we had less than 10 years to massively reduce emissions or else.
Well. They won the inaction they wanted.
Or else.👇
This is a super important paper by @BenFranta. You should read it. Economists are all too easily used by oil companies to justify delaying decarbonization.
