The Brazilian president, Lula da Silva, has vowed to haul the Amazon out of centuries of violence, economic “plundering” and environmental devastation and into “a new Amazon dream”, at the start of a major regional summit on the world’s largest rainforest. inkl.com/a/oEYxjqhngQy

Though it keeps failing, it would be wrong to say that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) doesn’t work. It works precisely as intended, even if it never materialises: it is a highly successful method of buying more time for the fossil fuel industry.

We need to talk about wet bulb temperature.
We're moving from the era of global warming to "the era of global boiling." In the not so distant future, we won't check just the temperature before we head outdoors — we’ll check the “heat index,” or the wet bulb temperature. 1/6

"Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning."
- @antonioguterres on the new data from @WMO @CopernicusECMWF that confirms July will be the hottest month ever recorded.
We need more ambitious action against the climate emergency. Now.

I like this phrasing from UN Secretary General @antonioguterres:
"We can stop the worst, but to do so we must turn a year of burning heat into a year of burning ambition and accelerate climate action now."

Yeah, it’s a bit hot, but it’s summer. Let’s keep drilling for new oil. Who cares about about our kids and their kids’ future anyway?
The heatwave in southern Europe intensifies further today/tomorrow

8. All of these things have culminated in June 2023 easily being the hottest June in recorded history for planet Earth.
It's likely the hottest June in 115,000 - 120,000 years when Earth was last this warm.

The warmest June is setting 2023 up to be a new record for the warmest directly-measured annual-average (81% chance).
El Niño is providing a short-term boost of warmth on top of the long-term warming caused by humans releasing greenhouse gases.

I thought fossil fuel firms could change. I was wrong, writes Christiana Figueres
"Their unprecedented profits over the past year have shown their unwillingness to adapt. It’s now D-Day for them."

44°C is lethal to penguins. In Patagonia, they were forced to abandon their chicks - they tried to make it to the ocean, but hundreds died....so did their chicks.
This is the reality of climate change.
For them, an unlivable world is already here.
