Diese ganzen gekauften Halbhirne in Regierungen haben einfach nicht verstanden welche Stunde für das Überleben der Menschheit (unter anderen!) schon geschlagen hat, aber wenn sie es verstanden haben, dann sollte man sie geteert und gefedert aus den Ämtern jagen. #ClimateDiary

TIL that Graham Stringer, who has been the Labour MP for Blackley and Broughton since 1997, and is running again, has been a Trustee of the disaster-capitalism, climate science denying Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) since 2015.
That’ll really help build Great British Energy

#ClimateDiary ‘An intergenerational crime against humanity’: what will it take for political leaders to start taking climate change seriously?
“Forget the critical decade, what happens every single month during the next handful of years is crucial in determining how quickly we drain the remaining carbon budget needed to achieve the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.”
May was the 28th month in a row to be the hottest on record.
Spring was also one of the 4 wettest on record, with ~50% more rain than an average spring.
Expertenrat veröffentlicht Einschätzung, wonach die Erreichung der Klimaziele fragwürdig ist.
Am gleichen Tag lassen sich Politiker:innen verschiedenster Parteien mal wieder in Gummistiefeln in Hochwassergebieten ablichten und versprechen zu helfen. Also, nicht mit stringenteren Maßnahmen zur Emissionsreduktion oder sinnvollen Anpassungsmaßnahmen. Wo kämen wir denn da hin! Freiheit!
Today at the allotment I met a new mum and she brought her beautiful child with her. When I got home I read of the floods in Italy and watched the last moments of life of three young people swept away. I'm filled with horror and rage and I don't know how to articulate to family and friends how bad the situation is and how that little child I met will maybe suffer in the not too distant future. #ClimateDiary
"Subramaniam stresses it is not that non-native species can’t, in some cases, go on to be real concerns. (...) “Instead of just blaming the plant and telling the story of the invading foreigners coming to take over, let’s retell it and hold human hubris to account,” she says.
Her takeaway message when it comes to plant science: “Botany, like everything, is political. Question received wisdom.""
#ClimateDiary Germany floods: Firefighter dies during rescue in Bavaria
A firefighter was killed when the rubber dinghy he was riding on capsized during severe flooding and at least two people are missing in south Germany as the region braces for more rainstorms. DW has the latest.#Floods#Germany
#ClimateDiary my heart goes out to everyone in Delhi, especially the workers and street vendors, children and elderly, the many without AC. Water scarcity and rationing; overflowing morgues in Rajasthan.
A ban on having exotic animals as pet would actually be the best to honour these 'magnificent' animals.
I don't think the owner was necessarily bad. However, if you are a pet owner, of any animal, not just exotic ones, the least you can do if you go away for holidays is having someone coming to check for your pets.
"Though #heat has killed hundreds of people in Maricopa County every summer for the past four years, the idea that heat can be deadly is newly shocking to many decision-makers.
Immer wieder schlechte Nachrichten in bezug auf eine verantwortungsvolle Klimapolitik: in Österreich wie in Gesamteuropa. Was ist da los? Verleugnung, Ausdruck hegemonialer Verhältnisse, Dummheit? Geht den Demokraten die Luft aus?
#climatediary The weather here has been amazing. Like cool daytime temps, lots of rain, low quantity of mosquitos, the water table is being replenished and I can't remember a late spring/ early summer like it ever. It's absolutely amazing but I can't help but wonder why and if when this ends something worse will arrive.
Immer mehr Institutionen verabschieden sich von der Rechtssprechung internationaler Gerichte, auch wenn sie Mitgliedstaaten derselben sind. Motto: Wir akzeptieren Recht nur, wenn es passt.
"Die Rechtskommission des #Ständerat|s will die Landesregierung mit einer offiziellen Erklärung dazu auffordern, dem Klima-Urteil des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte (EGMR) gegen die Eidgenossenschaft keine «weitere Folge zu geben».
The moist wind from the Bay of Bengal is driving the felt temperatures in Gangetic Bengal to intolerable levels, too. I'm aiming to make the most of this heatwave by learning to make pickles and preserves, because the alternative -- climate despair -- is dangerously debilitating.
Curry tree (Bergera koenigii) fruits, ripe and ready to germinate, with more on the way! I cut and peeled one, very carefully, for a better look. It's basically the whole seed itself, enlarged within the fruit skin. Easy to sprout and take root, I think. I'm going to collect just a few more as they ripen, grow them in pots and distribute the saplings locally, and leave the rest for the birds 🌿💚
