Kudos to @Reuters' breaking news team for including not just the role of climate change, but of fossil fuels, in the Maui wildfires.
It is so meaningful and easy to include a graf like this in breaking news coverage of climate disasters. Yet so few do it.

The @metpoliceuk is so far from fit for purpose it’s terrifying.
The heavy-handed and totally disproportionate treatment this woman received (in front of her distressed and bewildered young son) was for suspected bus fare evasion, to the tune of £1.75

How the UK government is systematically failing to act on climate change. Essential and devastating report out today by @theCCCuk
Today we publish @theCCCuk annual report on progress in reducing UK emissions.
We reflect on policy progress in a year that brought the UK’s first recorded 40C day and spiralling fossil fuel costs.
And there’s a reality check on the acceleration needed for 2030 and beyond.
