Climate change is literally canceling US independence Day celebrations. The July 4 parade in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, has been canceled due to extreme heat. Heat waves aren’t new - what’s new is that climate change is making them hotter and more dangerous.

The UK June record was duly broken yesterday with 36.1C at Gosport, and it will fall again today. This spell also features high humidity and overnight temperatures. My husband commented with surprise on the dewy grass when he took his breakfast out. Very unusual to have dew points widely over 20C.

Extratropical Cyclone #Vaianu continues to spiral toward the North Island of New Zealand. Damaging winds are expected, with severe gusts likely to bring down trees, cause power outages, and create hazardous conditions, particularly in exposed northern and eastern areas.

Any climate scientists want to sign a letter to UK political party leaders about whether we should extract more oil & gas from the North Sea?

Dr Ella Gilbert@drgilbz.bsky.social · 4mo ago

📣 Climate scientists! The UK is talking about North Sea oil & gas again. Obviously, that's a dumb idea if we want a liveable planet. I've written an open letter to UK party leaders, here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... To sign it, fill this out: forms.gle/mFcbhueTJusN... Please share! 🙏
