🚨EXCLUSIVE: Yvon Chouinard, who founded the outdoor apparel maker Patagonia and became a reluctant billionaire with his unconventional spin on capitalism, has given away the company. All Patagonia’s profits will now be used to fight climate change.🧵

More that 59°C was measured on the soil surface in Spain 🇪🇸 and 48°C in the south on France 🇫🇷.
This is not « just summer ».
It is « just hell » and will pretty soon become « just the end of human life » if we continue with our climate inaction.

Those promoting the idea of citizen science may want to take note, here’s the response you’re going to get from industry.
“Your kits [are] not calibrated, we disagree with the readings, take it up with the @EnvAgency”
Not just the Rib with off the scale phosphate levels and raw sewage dumping. The response from @thameswater to our secretary’s enquiry…..
“Your kits not calibrated, we disagree with the readings, take it up with the @EnvAgency”

Burning 1 million barrels of oil raises the planet's temperature by about 0.2μK.
That may not sound much but we are burning ~100 million barrels of oil every day.
Burning oil produces around ⅓ of global CO₂ emissions.
Earth's temperature is increasing at around 0.02°C per year.

The current extreme #heatwave in #Pakistan and #India as seen today, on the fourth intense hot day, by #Copernicus #Sentinel3 LST (Land Surface Temperature, not Air!). LST collected on April 29 shows max value exceeding 62°C/143°F. Gaps due to cloud/snow/nodata. #ClimateEmergency

Sewage dispersed into rivers & suchlike is only temporary until more sewage treating chemicals become available
We are not the #SewageParty
We are solving teething issues that we knew #Brexit would throw up.
A little bit of sewage is a small price to pay for a brighter future🇬🇧

Women in #Herat, now under Taliban control are telling me when they tried to enter the grounds of their University today they were told to go home. Women working in offices also turned away. Schools have been shut down. 60 percent of University students in Herat were women.
For those who insist that Afghanistan has not changed: almost 60% of Herat University students are women. And their scores are higher than their male counterparts. Now that is what I call progress (and something to be proud of) @TOLOnews

Today I learnt about the Bortle scale, used to quantify the darkness of the night sky! ✨ And then used lightpollutionmap.info/ to check how dark the skies are all around the world 🌎 What's the Bortle number in your location? Mine is a 7 it seems 😢
