Wildlife in England, Wales suffer
6m
The UK government said wildlife in England and Wales would be affected for years by this summer’s serious drought, which produced the driest July on record and more damaging incidents.

My new piece with @katharinehayhoe.com is out a TIME, which highlights what we all need to learn from climate communicators:
“This summer of disasters has shown us that climate impacts are not political, and it is past time we stopped talking about them as if they were.”

We Need to Stop Talking Like Climate Change Is Partisan
Climate change should be seen as a shared challenge to solve together, not a political debate, write Katharine Hayhoe and Dana R. Fisher.

Personally I am more worried about the human suffering it will bring. But those who have the power to speed up climate policies are perhaps more impressed by lost dollars.

Given that those least responsible for the crises we currently face are bearing the brunt of the impacts, my answer is yes. This is why I'm a climate scientist.

An Intergenerational Report published in the year 2026 that does not list climate change as one of the 6 major transitions for Australia to navigate over the next 40 years is not a serious document.
And no, the energy transition is just a small (and relatively easy) subset of climate's impacts.

This year is an unprecedently severe El Niño, which has broken records far earlier than any before it. This is really, really, really bad. The #climatecrisis is an actual threat to human civilization, unlike the hype of #AI doomers.
