"The World Weather Attribution found that a heatwave across the western US last week would have been “virtually impossible” without the climate emergency. Climate researchers also concluded last summer that devastating floods in central Texas were caused by “very exceptional meteorological conditions,” and the climate crisis “supercharged” the conditions that led to the extreme rainfall and flooding that killed 1,750 people in South Asia late last year.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump—whose country is the largest historical emitter of greenhouse gases—has taken steps to weaken the world’s ability to respond to the climate emergency, withdrawing from dozens of climate- and energy-related international treaties and slashing climate research and emergency response spending.

Trump has also pushed for more fossil fuel emissions—investing in the expensive, pollution-causing coal industry; demanding that the Pentagon obtain energy from coal plants; and mandating oil and gas lease sales.

“The way ahead,” said Guterrres, “must be grounded in science, common sense, and the courage to take urgent climate action.” "—

Political cowardice hindering Europe’s climate efforts, says EU’s green chief (The Guardian)

Effects of crisis are becoming increasingly obvious but not translating into proper action.

Political cowardice is hindering European efforts to face up to the effects of the climate crisis, even as the continent is pummelled by a record-breaking heatwave.

The global climate crisis has just entered uncharted territory, as Failaka Island in Kuwait has recorded a staggering 52.6°C, the earliest known maximum temperature in the region ever. Nearby Bubyan Island also scorched at 51.3°C, cementing this event as one of the most extraordinary heat episodes ever documented
