The extreme heatwave continues... But equally worrying is the fact that our societies fail to grasp the full meaning of this. The longer the climate crisis is being ignored or downplayed - the longer people will remain unaware. And the political inaction is allowed to continue.
Extremely hot again on the fringe of the Arctic Ocean. An astonishing + 34 °C has just been recorded at a latitude of 73 °N today in Russia. This is about + 20-25 °C warmer than normal. Note how much open water there is compared to normal. Sea ice is taking a hit.

#Yemen is experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world right now. It’s time to stop the flow of weapons that are fuelling the crisis - join the global call to stop the transfers amnesty.org/en/get-involved/…
Farmers in Kenya are stopping landslides by planting bamboo. Protecting people, lowering carbon and binding the soil. In this crisis, let nature be part of the solution. #ActOnClimate #climatesolutions #climatecrisis #GreenNewDeal #nature

Evolution doesn’t have a plan..... Rex Weyler
"If humanity attempts a return to pre-pandemic normalcy, we will have missed the lesson, an opportunity to awaken to that looming ecological dysfunction." The latest from @rex_weyler #Covid19 act.gp/3eTLy7K
I can’t express how sad and angry this makes me.
In April, @SophieBenson_ spoke to @mostafiz_uddin about Covid-19's impact on the garment industry in Bangladesh. Now, @apparelinsider reports Uddin is owed "around US$10m from a number of clients which include UK-based retailers Arcadia and @Peacocks." eco-age.com/news/mostafiz-ud…
