A timely reminder than nuclear is also unreliable at times. its intermittency is not as frequent as that of renewables, at least until adequate storage is online, but its impact is much greater.

It’s not just us. The Arctic had the hottest June on record and India one of the driest since 1901. Globally it was the warmest ever recorded and the 50th consecutive one above the 20th century average. Flaming June indeed….

Two hundred thousand people have died of heat in Europe alone in just four years, says the World Health Organisation. Almost all those deaths , it adds, were “entirely preventable”. Governments that fail to act on climate change have blood on their hands

@MicroDoc84 Good spot! But it’s the picture Fox apparently put on their article. Take it up your ‘fearmongering” with them…..
English
@GeoffreyLean Yeah but why are you showing a hurricane image from the Caribbean? It's ok to say facts, it's another to fearmonger with an unrelated phenomenon from a different ocean.

The chances that the world will be hit by one of the strongest ever El Ninos in a few months time have now exceeded 80% and there is a 97% of it lasting until next spring. It could have huge implications for worsening climate change.

Nearly one in every three people on the planet already live in areas where heat and humidity endanger life at least 20 days a year. It’s only going to get worse as climate change drives temperatures even higher.

Good news. There are signs that blue and fin whales - the world’s two biggest animals, driven close to extinction by commercial whaling - are beginning to recover, decades after the slaughter was banned.

Tree planting is not always good. For a start they have to be the right kinds of trees in the right places. Monocultures of alien pines have slashed biodiversity in half, as this study shows.

The British public's support for climate action remains unbending, seemingly regardless of what the planet and political leaders throw at it. There have been near constant attacks on the UK's net zero policies.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Warming waters from climate change have brought a plague of silver-cheeked toadfish - the world’s second most poisonous vertebrate, with a bite that can sever bone - to the Med.

Excellent take down of baseless and apparently innumerate attack on net zero - read this fact check by @drsimevans

FACTCHECK: A guide to manufacturing headlines, by the Times 1) highlight upfront costs of an “eco” home (EV, heat pump, solar) 2) pretend that petrol cars and gas boilers are free (yes really) 3) count upfront “eco” costs twice, for good measure 4) that’s it!

Good for @Channel4News, leading with an excellent package on “accelerating climate breakdown” on a strong news day. One outlet at least giving the issue the attention it deserves, among so many that shirk it.

Human-made climate change has caused Antarctica’s Pine Island glacier to shrink by around a fifth since 1940s and will continue to affect it for centuries, authoritative new research finds. Complete melting would raise sea levels 1.5 metres.
