Deadly heatwaves, floods, storms, wildfires, droughts, crop failures...
This is not “the new normal”.
We’re at the very beginning of a climate and ecological emergency, and extreme weather events will only become more and more frequent.

Once again: heat records are usually broken by tenths of a degree - not 4.6°C.
We're in a climate emergency that has never once been treated as an emergency. #FaceTheClimateEmergency twitter.com/ScottDuncanWX/…

We are filing a legal petition to the UN secretary-general urging him to declare the climate crisis a global level 3 emergency – the UN’s highest category.

This is what WMO says. Yet, again, many media outlets fail to make the connection. Instead they show happy people on beaches, pools or playing in fountains. Now scores of people have died from the heatwave and the record breaking Canadian town's on fire.

”We are pushing nature to its limits. /…/ We are creating conditions in which epidemics flourish” - Dr Mike Ryan from WHO telling it like it is.
This is exactly the clarity we need from world leaders in order to bring real hope to the world. #FaceTheClimateEmergency twitter.com/rice_e/status/…

"Highest temperature ever recorded in the planet north of 50N latitude also shattered (44.4C from July 1941)" - @extremetemps
Heat records are usually broken by decimals, like a tenth of a degree. And not in June...
This heat-wave is just getting started.

One of my greatest sources of hope lies in the huge potential of rewilding and restoring nature. This, together with climate equity and stop burning fossil fuels, is the key towards a sustainable world. #FaceTheClimateEmergency

It's a huge problem that nations are failing to meet their climate- and ecological targets.
The main problem however, is the fact that their targets are completely insufficient in the first place.
We can't solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis.

the longer we pretend we can solve the climate- and ecological emergency - without treating it like a crisis - the more precious time we will lose. And this is time we do not have.

”If Joe Biden called you and said he could wave a presidential magic wand, what you tell him to do?”
- Nothing. Because that would be undemocratic and democracy is the most precious thing we have.

Study in Nature says "the carbon pollution already put in the air will push global temperatures to about 2.3°C".
But of course this doesn't mean it's "game over".
It means we're in a crisis and we'd better start to act like it.

Sweden is heading for an unprecedented heat record. The national annual temperature average 2020 will be 7.5°C. That’s about 2.8°C (!!) above 1960-1990 baseline. And 0.6°C (!!!) above previous record from 2014. These numbers are literally off the charts.

This report is "a red alert for our planet" says UN Secretary General @antonioguterres
As long as this doesn't dominate the news we stand no chance of reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement and thereby securing future living conditions for humanity.
