In the last 48 hours, we've seen major wildfires in Nottinghamshire, Hampshire, South Wales, and Suffolk. This is not bad luck. This is climate change, and firefighters are on the frontline.

Western Europe has experienced an exceptionally hot and dry summer, with its hottest June–July period on record and its 4th heatwave since May. Globally, July was the 2nd warmest on record. More info from @CopernicusEU Climate Change Service's update: bit.ly/4cdtqWh

Regarding whether, as @ZackPolanski said, climate change is a World War 2 level threat, every single political, journalist, broadcaster and citizen, needs to listen to this interview with Prof Kevin Anderson @KevinClimate youtu.be/mBFos_T7cT0?is=OYji… Professor Kevin Anderson is Professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University of Manchester, with additional appointments at Uppsala University and the University of Bergen. Formerly Deputy Director and Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, he is one of the UK’s leading experts on climate mitigation, carbon budgets and energy policy, and has advised governments and the European Commission on climate change. @piersmorgan @mrjamesob @IainDale @TomSwarbrick1 @vicderbyshire @jonsopel @maitlis @Emmabarnett @tombradby @WilfredFrost @CliveMyrieBBC @amolrajan @SophyRidgeSky @TVNaga01 @OborneTweets @JohnSimpsonNews @richardpbacon @rickedwards1 @MickBooker @MartinDaubney @PatrickChristys @carolvorders @bbcvickiyoung @KamaliMelbourne @BBCsarahsmith @kirstiemallsopp @krishgm @tombradby @skynews @itvnews @ITNProductions @esmewren @adamboultonTABB @KayBurley @alexberesfordTV @kayeadams @janem @rickygervais @rachelburden @bbcnews @skynews @NickyAACampbell @ShelaghFogarty @bbcnickrobinson @tomhfh @susannareid100

The Greenland ice cap is losing around 30 MILLION tonnes of ice an hour due to the climate crisis - 20% MORE than what scientists originally thought. No time to waste. Stopfossifuels. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re

And this happens at 1.4°C. Europe warms > 2X faster than planet as a whole, & heat & drought extremes are amplified by interactions with ocean heat, Jet stream slow-down & atmosphere blocking. Future? It will get worse before it potentially gets better. bbc.com/news/articles/c2350z…

Smoke from wildfires can travel thousands of kilometres, crossing borders, oceans & continents. Understanding where it will go next is the challenge. Learn about wildfire smoke's health impacts & how forecasting & early warnings help communities prepare. 🔗bit.ly/4w7RiC8

This is the road we are on. The companies that caused the climate crisis are getting rich as they fuel the fire. @ExxonMobil : $55.7 billion @Shell: $39.87 billion @Chevron: $35.5 billion @BP_plc: $27.7 billion No time to waste. #ActOnClimate #panelsnotpipelines #cdnpoli

Climate change is coming for us all, this week it reached the heart of Scotland's capital. A wildfire broke out in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh, as strong winds and tinder-dry vegetation helped the flames spread. This is not the Amazon. This is not Australia. This is Scotland. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate 📹 Richard Goldie #climate #energy

The #FIFAWorldCup reminds us that sport can change lives. @WHO recommends that children and adolescents get at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity every day. If we can inspire every young person to move more, play more and live healthier, we all win.

My message is clear: ‌ To the USA & Israel: It is high time to stop the war that is inflicting immense human suffering & triggering devastating economic consequences. ‌ To Iran: Stop attacking your neighbours. ‌ Conflicts end when leaders choose dialogue over destruction. ‌ That choice still exists. ‌ And it must be made now.

Every species on Earth relies on a sustainable climate. Every fraction of a degree matters when it comes to protecting biodiversity and nature. Everyone can join the push for #ClimateAction by accessing the latest news and data: unep.org/news-and-stories/ne…
