This is misleading. If you say the Rhine’ s “water levels drop to lowest level since 1880,” that implies that the river was this dry in 1880. But 1880 is just when we started keeping records! So what you need to say is: the river is at its lowest level since records began.

Während Palästinenser:innen teilweise 20-30 km fahren müssen, um an (Trink!)Wasser zu kommen, laufen direkt vor ihrer Nase Wasserrohre eingepackt in Stacheldraht. Man nennt diese Ungerechtigkeit auch Wasserapartheid.

🔥The CEO of #oil giant TotalEnergies offers free fuel to fight #EuropeanWildfires - feels like Malboro offering chemotherapy vouchers with cigarettes.

The difference--

The Commission President expresses NO solidarity with Spain or the thousands of people affected in Ceuta. Nor does she call on other EU Member States to support Spain in managing what is a European border. No rebuke to Italy and Finland threatening to ‘suspend’ Spain from Schengen. That’s illegal

I was not informed by the BBC that they would have a right wing political figure or lobbyist on after me to rebut what I said. The individual in question went on to spout lies about China, etc. to distract attention from the Trump administration's assault on climate action. This is unacceptable.

Hi @yougov.co.uk, you left off the correct answer which is "This will be one of the coolest summers of the rest of our lives and they will keep getting hotter and hotter until we stop burning fossil fuels".

When I discuss huge systemic issues, people say "but what I can I do?" When I mention something meaningful you can do immediately, people say (as the replies here show) "but what's the point, in the face of the huge systemic issues?" There are, it seems, plenty of people who want to be helpless.

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm so tired of EU national leaders talking out of two sides of their mouths - saying the EU should do more and be stronger and then refusing to give it the money and resources necessary to do so. Because they lack the political courage to be honest with citizens about why it is needed.

Northern leaders want to cut an EU budget already on a shoestring

EU national leaders keep saying they want a union that “does more.” Then they show up in Brussels asking it to spend less.

Wow, also müsste die Bundesregierung gar nicht so massiv im Familienministerium, im Gesundheitswesen und im Umweltministerium kürzen und einsparen, wenn einfach die Klimaziele eingehalten werden würden? Potsblitz!

Deutschland verpasst seine europäischen Klimaziele bis 2030 um 255 Millionen Tonnen. Die Emissionslücke muss über den Zukauf von Zertifikaten ausgeglichen werden. Bis zu 38 Milliarden Euro (!) könnte das kosten. Details: www.cleanthinking.de/emissionslue...

I am deeply saddened by the devastation of what is one of my favourite corners of the world. This ‘new normal’ is utterly terrifying - even more frightening is the lack of political action that treats the climate crisis with the seriousness & urgency that's needed.

Mehr also 300.000 Menschen sind in #Frankreich & #Spanien auf der #Flucht vor den verheerenden #Waldbränden. Es sind #Klimaflüchtlinge, bei denen man viele Jahre an Menschen aus Afrika & dem Nahen Osten dachte. Nun fliehen die Menschen Mitten in #Europa. Ob wir den Ernst der Lage endlich erkennen?

"Umweltminister Carsten Schneider ist die Wassernotlage klar. In der vergangenen Woche warnte er vor »ernsthaften Konflikten«, die wir künftig ums Wasser haben werden. Zugleich fehlen ihm die Mittel, um dagegen etwas zu tun." Eine starke Kolumne von @pinzler.bsky.social.

Wasserknappheit: Wassernotlagen? Willkommen im neuen Normal

In Deutschland wird Wasser knapp. Trotzdem bekommt die Industrie es oft zum Schleuderpreis. Zeit für einen neuen Umgang mit dem kostbaren Gut und eine neue Wasserpolitik.

Allein die Ankündigung der nächsten #Hitzewelle löst schon eine innere #Unruhe aus; und die in Zukunft noch weiter wachsende Gefahr der #Waldbrände überall in #Frankreich eine gewisse Ohnmacht. Gepaart mit Wut, dass es der Politik nicht gelungen ist, die #Klimakatastrophe einzuhegen.
