These temperatures would be extraordinary for August but its still only June
Fossil fuel induced global warming is driving ever increasing intense temperatures that threaten people crops birds and wildlife
Yet we have increased pressure to make it worse and drill baby drill in North Sea
This heat is not only a climate emergency, it is class war. The rich burn the planet, then buy air conditioning, private pools and second homes while workers are left in overheated flats, unsafe jobs, failed public services and burning cities. Climate Action Now!
Two little green locals turning Dyrehaven’s waters into their personal chill zone 🐸 — part splash party, part zen retreat. These frogs know how to enjoy Copenhagen’s wild side better than most of us!

It's odd living in a world where people don't prioritise existence, despite so many of us claiming to care about ourselves, our families, our countries, or some higher purpose. #deepadaptation
Residents of Newton, Kansas, were treated to one of nature's most surreal displays as hundreds of giant cloud gates appeared to pour into the evening sky like a frozen waterfall of storm clouds.
For a few unforgettable moments, drivers slowed down.
Phones came out.
And almost everyone looked up.
Sometimes the most amazing sights appear right above our heads.
🌍🌳 Let's remember, we're not the owners of Mother Earth, we're simply borrowing it from future generations. It's time to say no to deforestation and protect the Amazon and Congo basin. Our trees and forests hold the key to our climate action! #SaveOurForests#ClimateAction
We are absolutely lost.
We are definitely existing within a system that prioritizes profit at any cost, driven by the Petrostates. 30 COPS and this is the tip of the iceberg of heating.
Its a climate emergency right here right now
Crops are not meant to grow in this heat
They just wither away and die
Many older and vulnerable people will not survive either unless they have air con
Billionaires like Trump in their cool air conditioned buildings

41°C in Paris. Red alert in UK. London melting away during London Climate Week. Life threatening human amplified heat. Remember though. This is just the beginning. It will get worse, before potentially getting better. To return fr overshoot, global emissions must decline >5%/yr.
For the first time on record, solar generated more electricity than coal across the entire U.S. - despite active federal policy pushing the other direction.
☀️ Good news: The UK shut off its last coal plant in 2024. China now installs more wind and solar annually than the rest of the world combined. And last month, the U.S. crossed a milestone that seemed impossible five years ago: solar beat out coal on the national grid, for the first time in history.
🌡️ Not-so-good news: A super El Niño is set to supercharge heatwaves, droughts, and floods in the coming year. These in turn impact everything from coral bleaching risks to food price spikes worldwide.
