Not to mention how media so often fail to tell the stories of the most affected people in the most affected areas whose suffering mostly goes unheard.

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.

"It's dire. The whole town is on fire. It took, like, a whole 15 minutes from the first sign of smoke to, all of a sudden, there being fire everywhere."

Once again: heat records are usually broken by tenths of a degree - not 4.6°C.

"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...

As the commission failed to withdraw the CAP it's now up to the European Parliament to #VoteThisCAPdown

Here's one of the main reasons why we're still not getting anywhere. When leaders...
