Like practically all far-right parties, Reform UK want to stop climate action. Perfectly aligned with fossil fuel interests, and could well be related to their murky financing.

🚨 OCEAN HEAT: July saw the world’s oceans reach their HOTTEST TEMPERATURES ON RECORD.

Hotter seas mean rising waters, dying coral reefs, collapsing kelp forests and fisheries under threat. How much more damage will it take before politicians STOP letting Big Oil cook our planet for profit?

The climate-fueled massive heatwaves, drought, and wildfires (understandably) lead to more attention for climate adaptation.
The fact that we can never win the adaptation race if we don't reduce global emissions to zero is overlooked, and so is the resulting need to accelerate emission reduction.

I just wanted to cancel an important appointment because the extreme #heat makes me unable to go outside into that oven. Their answering machine was at the limit.

They called me back: Yes, everybody wanted to cancel today but your appointment is tomorrow. It will be a little bit cooler then. If not, just call again tomorrow how you feel.

This is what the heat does to brains, answering machines, and appointments.

The ocean isn’t just overheating, it’s LOSING ITS BREATH.

Scientists say global waters have already lost around 2% of their oxygen, pushing marine life towards an “unsafe space” with potentially irreversible impacts.

Protect the oceans, stop new oil and gas.

Tens of millions of people from India and Japan to Western Europe and North America are now struggling with extreme heat, as heat‑related deaths keep breaking records.

People everywhere deserve protection from fossil‑fuelled extreme heat: adapting homes and cities, and ending deadly fossil fuel dependence, must become an absolute political priority.

Europe’s extreme heat has killed around 20,000 people in just one week, including over 5,700 deaths in France alone, while a five‑day heatwave in India was linked to nearly 30,000 excess deaths.

Adapting our homes, cities and health systems and protecting people from the fossil‑fuelled climate crisis must now be treated as an ABSOLUTE political priority.

This article about the recent heat wave in Europe, which killed so many people, gets to the heart of the problem — in places beyond Europe, too.

“The signal is clear: heat is now the deadliest weather hazard we face, and the majority of these deaths are preventable,” she says. “We can now forecast these events with considerable accuracy; what we have not done is build the systems, across health, housing, social care and transport, for example, that translate an accurate forecast into actual protection. Adaptation is not keeping pace with the risk.”

"This is folly on a globally calamitous scale.

Fossil fuels, which were for long so beneficial to humanity, have to be recognised as poisons.

And petroleum companies must pay for backtracking on their promises and putting shareholder dividends ahead of planetary health and human wellbeing."

Looking at the forecasted 850 hPa #TemperatureAnomalies now, almost 2 wks after the horror #heat week, it looks as if we in #Europe won't get such gross temperature soon again, not in the next ~2 wks.

I'm not less nervous about coming #climate #TppingsPoints than then.

Make oil, coal and gas corporations pay their fair share for the damage they cause.

Introduce new taxes or fines on them to help communities at home and around the world rebuild from climate disasters and invest in climate solutions.

What will historians think of this moment, when fossil fuelled heatwaves and other climate disasters are wrecking tens of millions of lives while oil and gas companies still plan new drilling and pipelines.

Pure unfettered greed, madness on a globally calamitous scale.

@rahmstorf @PIK_climate Interesting:
"The extra energy trapped in the system seems to be the result of the planet reflecting less sunlight back to space. [..] the bigger concern is that reflective, low-lying clouds may be going missing.

The energy imbalance “suggests that the models may also be under-predicting future warming,” said #PhilDuffy, chief scientist of #SparkClimateSolutions, a nonprofit that identifies and helps limit #climate risks."

Also interesting: I underestimated the part with the water expansion by heat

How many more fossil fuelled heatwaves will it take before governments make polluters pay and use that money to fund real climate mitigation and life saving adaptation?

Portugal is bracing for extreme heat, with the government weighing a state of alert as officials warn of one of the most dangerous wildfire periods of the summer.

Greenpeace Portugal’s new report says the choice is clear now: year round prevention and climate action, or repeat disaster every year.
