.@esa: "Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Poland are all facing a major heatwave with temperatures expected to climb to 48°C on the islands of Sicily and Sardinia – potentially the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Europe." https://t.co/QmDwWBvL3A #Cerberus

In a knife-edge vote, supporters of the nature restoration law blocked a right-wing attempt to reject the proposal and agreed on a text to negotiate with EU countries

This week, the world broke the daily temperature record.

This is yet another demonstration that climate change is out of control and one reason more for increased #ClimateAction ambition and justice.

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

17.23 °C is 3°C warmer than 14±0.5°C Earth over 12000 years, fr last Ice Age to Industrial Revolution. Now, we have 3rd Super-El Nino in 15 years. 91% of heat due to global warming is in oceans, reinforcing El Nino, causing massive heat & weather extremes

#NatureRestoration Law: The facts, not the fiction

It will
✅increase free ecosystem services for farmers: pollination, fertile soil, water
✅reduce GHG emissions & chemical use from agriculture

It 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁
❌take 10% of farmland out of production
❌threaten #FoodSecurity

#IPCC Synthesis Report

#Climatechange is a threat to human well-being & planetary health.

There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable & sustainable future for all.

The solution lies in climate resilient development.

The #AR6 #SYR is groundbreaking in its examination of issues of equity and climate change. For the first time, the report emphasizes the unequal historical and ongoing contributions, and differential vulnerabilities within and between nations/regions/peoples. (1/n)

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Our choices matter and the faster we act, the better off we will all be - all of us who call this planet home.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

So given this dire news, surely we are well on our way to cutting our carbon emissions, no?

No.

The synthesis report is crystal clear: we are not doing nearly enough to avoid dangerous impacts, let alone achieve the targets of the Paris Agreement.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

The heat in Eastern Europe is unprecedented with more national records falling.

Over +20°C in the middle of January is simply extraordinary for this part of the world. Very impressive warmth surging through eastern Europe while western Europe chills.

[Nadja Najjar (she/her) @nnadja19]

Yes please, @unsereOEBB! 🙏

[The Man in Seat 61 @seatsixtyone]

Seems it may indeed happen: It's reported that the 3-per-week Brussels-Vienna Nightjet is set to become daily from Dec 2023, combined with a new daily Nightjet from Brussels to Berlin (in addition to @EuropeanSlpr's new train, so yes, TWO sleeper trains Brussels-Berlin!)...

[Joost Hermans @hermansjoost]

There are some ambitious plans to change Brussels for the better.

If all goes well, our city will look very different in a couple of years. 🌳🏡🚲🏀

A thread 🧵

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

Europe is experiencing its worst heatwave ever recorded.

The combined intensity and scale of this winter heatwave is unlike anything in European history.
