Shell's CEO chose the hottest day in human history to announce he was reneging on the company's climate pledges.
Thanks to the @newyorker for letting me call out this kind of despicable behavior

Heatwave in Europe

Mediterranean 5°C hotter than it should be

North Atlantic Ocean surface hotter than it has ever been.

Why are you not worried about this?

This is not weather.

This is shattering climate records

This is #ClimateChange

[Municipality of Tehran @en_tehran_ir]

#Tehran has discussed cooperation with @c40cities on the sidelines of @U20India Mayoral Summit in Ahmedabad, including the readiness and willing of Tehran to join the network in their actions to confront the #climate crisis and potential fields for Tehran to contribute.

In Japan if a tree interferes with the construction of a road they don't cut it down, they dig around it, tie up its roots and replant it.

Nature is amazing. Protect it.

Another heat record broken - and we are not even halfway through July #ClimateCrisis #Heat https://t.co/hSjwC1OVaI

[U20 INDIA @U20India]

📢 "The #Communique of the 6th #U20 cycle identified funding as a major barrier to cities' development vision. To overcome this challenge, it's crucial to support cities in project preparation & facilitate a streamlined direct lending process.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

🔥📈BREAKING @NASA 📈🔥

The Earth Energy Imbalance from NASA satellite data broke through 1.8 W/m² (12-month mean)!

This is faster than I expeced.
More than many experts thought possible.

I called this the most important graph in the world.

A lot more heat is accumulating!

[Shruti Narayan @shrunara]

Looking forward to participating in this strategic platform bringing global cities together to prioritise climate agenda and to share the @U20India priorities with the G20 counterparts for decisive action responding to the climate emergency

[U20 INDIA @U20India]

@shrunara your presence is highly anticipated and we are honored to have you join us at U20 Ahmedabad. We look forward to a momentous occasion filled with meaningful discussions and fruitful collaborations.

Climate change: how bad could the future be if we do nothing?

I developed this table of impacts for my book 📕 ‘Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction’ based on the @IPCC_CH 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 reports

Beyond 1.5°C #ClimateChange impacts gets worse and worse

[Middle East Institute @MiddleEastInst]

“Cities need to pause and do a data-driven climate planning exercise. It’s very important for them to understand how their emissions translate into cross-sectoral impacts. Get data and then do a mapping of risks in governance.” - @shrunara #MEIEvents

[Extreme Temperatures Around The World @extremetemps]

Mexico and the Caribbeans are living an extreme heat wave,like never before:
Harsh dry heat in Mexican Plateau and deadly humid heat in the Caribbeans.
Next days #Mexico could approach no less than a WORLD record:
The highest temperature ever recorded worldwide above 2000m asl.
