I am as horrified by the raging #fires in #France and #Spain as everyone else, but for the record I would like to state that #fediverse posts along the line of "This is only the beginning!", "It will get much worse in the future!" and "We are all doomed!" aren't helping.
While these statements may or may not be true technically (who can really know?), do we really want people in fear of their own future? Fear easily turns to overwhelm, which turns to apathy, which results in inaction.
All of us have agency. We can still turn things around to avoid the doomsday scenarios. If I were a #climatechange denier bent on eliminating voices advocating for change, inducing apathy in them would be the first approach.
So do we really want to play into the hands of fossil fuel companies by using #fedi to drive their agenda, even if it is unwittingly?
I think we can do better. Change will not be driven by fear and apathy, but by hope and determination. Let's spread these instead.

The area around the smaller pond is still looking quite colourful as the plants growing there get water from the edge of the pond which I am topping up regularly. When plants get too dry they stop producing nectar so it is good to have at least a few areas in the garden which are watered regularly so pollinators can find something to eat (same goes for caterpillars which cannot eat dry and crispy leaves). #gardening #plants #climatechange

BITS FROM TIMOTHY SWALLEHZ #21
●Choose Quality Seeds.
The quality of your harvest begins with the quality of your seeds. Always buy seeds from reputable companies to ensure good germination, vigorous growth, and true-to-type varieties.

Europe’s extreme heat has killed around 20,000 people in just one week, including over 5,700 deaths in France alone, while a five‑day heatwave in India was linked to nearly 30,000 excess deaths.
Adapting our homes, cities and health systems and protecting people from the fossil‑fuelled climate crisis must now be treated as an ABSOLUTE political priority.

A huge (but little-reported) stat:
'In the particularly bad stretch from 2023 to 2025, some 8 percent of Canada’s forests burned'
One wonders what the figure is after this summer's infernos.
As the item points out, the issue is not just destruction and smoke -- these forests act
'as massive vaults for carbon [that when burned becomes a] notable source of greenhouse gases'

Climate change scientists were definitely conservative on their estimates
And as always, Earth surprises
If it won’t stop now, thousands will keep dying due to heatwaves, if not tens of thousands.

“The climate alarm is blaring, from every direction. Around the world, climate-driven disasters are reaching nightmare proportions, as the costs of humanity’s addiction to burning coal, oil and gas keep spiraling upwards.
These record-breaking wildfires tearing through France, Spain and other parts of Europe, forcing mass evacuations and hammering regional and national economies, follow brutal heatwaves that have dried out landscapes.
With the mercury set to soar again this week, the awful costs of this climate crisis – both human and economic – are now reaching national emergency levels.”

The #fires in #France and #Spain
have burned six times the size of Paris in France and at least three times the size of Madrid in Spain#ClimateChange is real and accelerating past worst case scenarios. 🔥🔥🔥
#WakeUp governments and immediately implement new #policies.
#Meanwhile in the #US the government kleptocrats are killing all environmental regulations and killing wind projects and solar projects🤬

@waimeafalls Yes -.- ... but unfortunately, if #AMOC stops it will not just simply be colder, it will mean more extreme weather in #Europe : hotter and dryer summers and colder winters, more very quick extreme changes. (And yes, poor GB and Nordic Countries will definitely get hit with -7°C colder weather 🥶 ) Oh, and almost forgot those pretty "little" storms of course, to even out the temp. differences 🌀 🌪️😭

New evacuations ordered in southwestern France wildfires as heat wave conditions return
French authorities ordered nearly 4,000 people evacuated Tuesday from tourist sites on the Atlantic coast as returning heat threatened firefighters' fragile hold on a vast wildfire west of Bordeaux.
