The past week has seen extreme heat hit southern #Europe, the #US and north #Africa. #Italy experienced its third heatwave of the summer and #temperatures are forecast to spike in #Spain on Sunday when national elections are being held.

Favorite game when watching cycling is to spot the solar panels on the roofs of the country towns in Italy #giroditalia #climarecrisis #BikeTooter #cycling

#Drought in #CA - CA land is #parched. Since 2000, it has cycled through 4 periods of #drought which occurs when unusually dry #weather and lack of #rain persist for two or more years. Recent rain has given #reservoirs a much-needed boost. But the storms have been intense and concentrated, and the state’s water infrastructure, mostly built in 20th century when the pop was barely 1/2 of today’s 40M, is ill-equipped 2 harness such massive rainfalls. https://www.reuters.com/graphics/CLIMATE-CHANGE/CALIFORNIA-DROUGHT/byvrlqxqnve/index.html #ClimareCrisis

As #tech is rocked by #layoffs, #climate #jobs and #tools for landing them are on the rise https://www.geekwire.com/2023/as-tech-is-rocked-by-layoffs-climate-jobs-and-tools-for-landing-them-are-on-the-rise/ #climareCrisis #ClimateChange

@CraigKendrickNZ was it really slash and burn? Maybe we can all focus on #climarecrisis ? Someone has to..

I am disgusted by you-know-who as much as the next person, and it feels like blasphemy to say it on Mastodon, but the #Tesla semi is a big deal and hugely important if we want to try to make progress against the #ClimareCrisis. Trucks account for 25% of US emissions, and that number is rising. We need electric semis to succeed regardless of who is making them.

@lemondefr "Prime Minister @RishiSunak in the margins of #cop27
That sounds about right. Keep him in the margin; he's mostly there to promote growth and and does not take the #ClimareCrisis seriously.
