  1. ‘Earth scientist Dan Shugar, an associate professor at the University of Calgary, said the ​imagery seemed to show that a large amount of snow had melted in the 24 hours prior to the disaster.

    "Some of the glaciers in the valley were covered in snow yesterday and today they are mostly bare ice. So in other words (and I haven't seen any weather station data yet), it was probably warm,"

    (jeez... 🙄🤦🤦‍♂🤦‍♀with what BS are they coming up again just to press for more profits and divert attention from efficient climate action. Just drop everything and STOP fossil fuels NOW!)

  3. Sad news that philanthropist and singer #DollyParton has died at such a young 80 years: let's not forget her message about #climatebreakdown. #LiarLiar

  4. Not sure why there is zero coverage of this, but record low #water levels are not just happening to #rivers in Europe (Rhine, Danube), it is also happening in the UK. While I took that picture at low tide, I have never seen the #Thames being so low. And bear in mind some of that is hidden by the tidal nature of the river too. I would love to have better #media coverage of those #drought river markers you only find on government websites gov.uk/government/publications

  5. #UK - #Rewilded land remains green amid drought-stricken English countryside, images show

    Excerpt: "Aerial footage of an estate in Somerset has revealed the benefits of #rewilding land in the face of #ExtremeWeather brought about by the climate crisis.

    "The area of the #NationalTrust’s #HolnicoteEstate where rivers have been returned to their natural courses and #wetlands have been restored have remained green and lush during the five heatwaves across the summer. In contrast, the surrounding countryside has become parched and brown.

    "The two interventions are significant #rewilding projects and provide strong evidence that #NatureBasedSolutions can protect against wildfires. This contradicts claims by some rightwing commentators, who have blamed rewilding for causing #wildfires.

    " 'Nature is providing solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing society today,' said Ben Eardley, the project manager at the Holnicote estate. 'For generations as a nation we’ve drained wetlands, straightened rivers and moved water off the land as quickly as possible. Here, we’ve reversed that approach and the results are remarkable.

    " 'By reconnecting river systems with the surrounding area and creating natural sponges in the landscape, we’ve created a system that stores water during #drought, keeping wetlands and the surrounding habitats healthy, and slows water during storms and periods of extreme rainfall, helping to protect villages from the risk of flooding downstream.'

    "Eardley said the same natural processes that helped wildlife recover were also helping communities adapt to #ClimateBreakdown.

    "More than 90% of the UK’s wetlands have been lost over the last century and restoring the habitats to make them wet again is becoming increasingly important for #ClimateAdaptation, #WaterSecurity and #NatureRecovery.

    "Harry Bowell, the National Trust’s director of land and nature, called on the government to boost its efforts to invest in nature-based solutions to help the country become more resilient."
