Global heat record streak ends in July, but risks still rising
Extreme heat, deadly floods and widespread wildfires hit Europe in July, despite the end of a record-breaking global temperature streak.

Climate-protecting carbon sinks of EU forests are declining #EU

Climate-protecting carbon sinks of EU forests are declining
Forests cover about 40% of the EU's land area. Between 1990 and 2022, they absorbed around 10% of the continent's man-made carbon emissions. However, the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of forests, also known as carbon sinks, is becoming increasingly weaker.

Well, Michał has a better and cheaper proposal for implementing that process:

🚨 Historic capitulation by von der Leyen to Trump! EU must:
• Buy $750bn US gas/oil
• Invest $600bn in USA
• Finance Ukraine war alone
• 15% tariffs on EU goods vs 0% on US goods
• 50% tariffs destroy German steel/aluminum
Total: $1.35 trillion EU−USA 🤯
After Big Tech dominance (Meta, Google, Microsoft), EU loses industry too. Big Tech stays untaxed!
Not a "deal" — surrender! 😭

Yeah, there seems no way to argue that the EU deal was bad. At a time when Trump was weakened, given the EU market size, there was really no excuse for this. The EU is normally good at trade deals, but this was bad.
Hopefully, someone is brave enough to block it.

EU says it is ‘well on track’ to reach 2030 emissions target
Belgium, Estonia and Poland were also singled out for not submitting their NECPs and were urged to “do so without delay”.

Today in “silly billboards in my community”. The first is by the very “truthful” (/s) people at LNGfacts.ca. Of course, the word "LNGfacts" does not appear anywhere in the dictionary because it's made up nonsense. Just like the "fact" that LNG “makes Canada stronger”... like we're going to win the war in Ukraine with our LNG or fend off #TheAmericanFascist. (Note: LNG is a tool of fascists not the other way around)
This billboard used to say “BC LNG WILL REDUCE GLOBAL EMISSIONS”... with a link to ‘bclnghelps.ca' but that was so clearly a lie that they were forced by the courts to remove it and delete their website, but I made a website instead in their honour called: bclngburns.ca
Back to today's billbboard though... Here's a fact from February 2025: “European LNG imports fell by 19% in 2024 as gas consumption reached an 11-year low, thanks, in part, to renewable energy additions.” (#BCPoli #BCLNG #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #ExtinctionRebellion #LNG #NaturalGas #Europe #EU #Ukraine #Russia
