"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.

The distribution of vaccines around the world is extremely unfair. 85% of vaccine shots have been given in high- and upper-middle-income countries. Only 0,3% have been given in low income countries, according to New York Times. 2/n

But this imbalance can only be solved by countries, cooperations and institutions - not individuals. So when your region offers you a shot- take it. I'll roll up my sleeve when it’s my turn because we must treat every crisis like a crisis. No one's safe until everyone's safe. 3/n

We're destabilizing the planet. Meanwhile our leaders continue to destroy present and future living conditions - opening new pipelines, oilfields and investing fantasy amounts into fossil fuel infrastructure, despite all the beautiful words.

Don't worry! They are all electric and run on 100% renewable, sustainable and climate neutral unicorn fairy dust.

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/…

"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."
After 3 days of historic heat records - now the town of Lytton, British Columbia is on fire. twitter.com/cbcnewsbc/stat…

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.

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.

It's a bit like as if they would report on pandemics using only pictures of families in lockdown, happily cuddling up in the sofa watching movies and eating popcorn.

"Eventually the public pressure was too much, so you started to act. Not acting as in taking climate action. But acting as in roleplaying. Playing politics, playing with words, playing with our future."

This approach is one of the main reasons why we are still in this mess. The exact same arguments were in my own school books. This is what children are taught today. twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/…

"Let’s be clear — what you are doing is not about climate action or responding to an emergency. It never was. This is communication tactics disguised as politics."
Yesterday I adressed the #AustrianWorldSummit along with Angela Merkel, António Guterres, Alok Sharma and others.

Thank you @Schwarzenegger for inviting me! #AWS21

Meanwhile the people in power call themselves "climate leaders" as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants - granting new oil licenses exploring future oil drilling sites.
This is the world they are leaving for us. twitter.com/blkahn/status/…

June 2021 was the hottest June ever recorded in my hometown Stockholm by a large margin. The second hottest June was in 2020. The third in 2019.
Am I sensing a pattern here? Nah, probably just another coincidence.
