Dear @BBCNews could you please stop saying how pleased we all are with continuing dry, sunny & hot weather? Our rivers & wetlands are dying & wildlife fading away. We need RAIN. It is good. You can’t make the weather, but please stop saying global heating is a positive thing.

Another day, another record for the North Atlantic. Everything is happening so fast, it's hard to get a sense of the enormity of these anomalies, let alone their consequences.

"Nature retaliating on a rampant humanity"
So, humanity best:
1) begin serious climate breakdown mitigation efforts
2) re-double work to reign in climate emissions and invest in renewable energy
3) put aside petty differences and begin wide and deep global collaboration.

Schools canceled, airline traffic slowed, millions staying indoors as smoke blankets cities This wasn't New Delhi or Lahore, this time It's New York and pretty much all of the US East Coast under threat from dangerous air pollution Nature retaliating on a rampant humanity

A fact to ponder on.
The damage we have caused in such an incredibly short period of time isn't sustainable.
Yet we continue to damage.

UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy admits #nuclear has very long construction times, 13 to 17 years from final investment decision.
This means #SizewellC wouldn't generate power until 2036 and 2040 – far too late for #energy and #climate crises.

With economic chaos, it's no coincidence that the government is spending a lot of time/energy passing draconian laws to stop protests. The Public Order Bill "is too right wing for a democracy" @GreenJennyJones #AutumnStatement

Now that a Loss & Damage fund is agreed, we need to make our fair-share contribution. Step up, please, @RishiSunak

Loss and damage is a big conversation at COP27. Rich countries are responsible for 90% of the excess emissions that are causing climate breakdown. Social movements in the global South are rightly demanding compensation for the damage this is causing. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

UN Secretary-General:
Planet Earth is on "the highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator"
"We are in the fight of our lives - and we are losing"
"Humanity has a choice: cooperate or perish"

If Rishi Sunak wants to be a 'clean energy champion' then his government must say no to the proposed Cumbria #coal mine now.
