The past 11 years have been the hottest on record. Extreme weather and wildfires are increasingly threatening human health, particularly among vulnerable populations and in regions with limited capacity to respond to climate-related impacts. Fossil fuel companies must pay for the harm they've caused. https://www.euronews.com/2026/10/28/climate-change-should-be-declared-health-emergency-as-health-risks-can-no-longer-be-ignore#extremeweather #climate #fires #health #makepolluterspay

'Most of the UK media stories about the record-breaking heatwave that struck in June failed to mention the climate crisis, analysis has found.' 'Nearly 2,500 articles about the extreme heat – when temperatures topped 37C, a record for the time of year – appeared in the UK’s nine main national daily media publications. But nearly three-quarters of them – about 72% – left out any mention of global heating or the climate'. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/14/most-coverage-june-heatwave-did-not-mention-climate-crisis #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #NoLNG #ExtremeWeather #Drought #Wildfires

David Suzuki Foundation: "Carney’s taxpayer-funded pipeline will cause climate and economic chaos" "People in Canada are paying the price — struggling with affordability and suffering through extreme heat — as this government treats yesterday’s fossil economy as the only economic strategy on the table. The rest of the world is racing to benefit from the clean-energy economy by swapping dirty fossil fuels for renewables, batteries and technologies powered by electricity." https://davidsuzuki.org/press/carneys-taxpayer-funded-pipeline-will-cause-climate-and-economic-chaos/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #BCPoli #ABPoli #NoPipelines

"Prime Minister Carney’s plan to sell more oil overseas won’t make life more affordable at home. Instead of tackling the climate crisis and investing in the solutions of the future that Canadians need, he is doubling down on costly fossil fuel infrastructure that will only make life harder for Canadians." https://ecojustice.ca/news/ecojustice-another-pipeline-proposal-at-the-expense-of-climate-and-nature/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #ABPoli #ExtremeWeather #Heatwaves #Drought #Flooding

Major flash flooding in Spain yesterday. In Madrigueras (Albacete), 142 mm fell in just 2.5 hours, killing one woman, while many others had to be rescued. These "DANA" events are not uncommon, but record warm Mediterranean water now provides further 'fuel' to them. https://www.eltiempo.es/noticias/madrigueras-albacete-bajo-el-agua-tras-caer-142-l-m%c2%b2-una-fallecida-despararecidos-y-graves-danos #ClimateChange #extremeweather #floods

Over 60 years ago fossil fuel corporations took out this 2-page advert bragging about HOW FAST they can MELT GLACIERS. This is the 2-page ad from 1962 ExxonMobil* boasting about how they supplied enough energy to melt 7 million tons of glacier each day. *then Humble Oil and Refining, the company is now known as ExxonMobil #ExxonKnew #MakePollutersPay #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather

'The Japanese capital's high-rise business districts are often described as "concrete jungles" because of their stark urban landscape, and have increasingly been cited as a contributor to the heat island effect. In recent years, however, more greenery has begun appearing in the Otemachi area close to Tokyo Station, creating pockets of cooler air.' 'On a day when the ground surface beside the intersection reached 47.3 C, producing intense reflected heat, the surface temperature inside the forested area was 31.9 C, while that of the nearby sidewalk was 32.2 C.' https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20260915/p2a/00m/0sc/004000c #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #Tokyo #Japan #Reforestation #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #HeatIsland

Hundreds feared stuck in hydropower tunnels as flood deaths surpass 950 in Nepal and China Rescuers raced Monday to free hundreds of workers believed to be trapped in tunnels at hydropower sites that were buried in mud by catastrophic flooding on the Nepal-China border, as the death toll climbed and increasingly desperate families searched for missing loved [...] https://www.france24.com/en/hundreds-feared-stuck-in-hydropower-tunnels-as-flood-deaths-surpass-950-in-nepal-and-china #ChinaNews #ExtremeWeather #NepalNews #News #China #Nepal #ClimateChange #Climate #Weather

These forces drove the deadly #GrandCanyon #FlashFlood The #Arizona #monsoon is only one part of a bigger #weather story. This weekend’s #FlashFlooding, which has killed at least one person in the Grand Canyon, wasn’t an isolated weather event. The torrential rain was part of Arizona’s monsoon season, which runs from June 15 through Sept 30. But the monsoon alone doesn’t tell the whole story. #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather

A record-breaking #ElNiño & a #marine #heatwave in the #Pacific Ocean have combined to load the atmosphere with moisture, helping fuel the deadly #flooding. On the backdrop of #ClimateChange, these factors have driven atmospheric moisture levels 5 to 15% higher than average. That has loaded the dice for downpours this summer, such as those that hit the #GrandCanyon Saturday. #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #FlashFlood #monsoon #weather
