Extreme weather in the Pacific makes accurate information a matter of survival. 📻🌀 @UNESCO is helping newsrooms in Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Vanuatu strengthen disaster resilience and climate reporting.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL. Europe must stop arguing about whether extreme weather is happening and start building the infrastructure needed to survive it. Climate policy cannot mean only targets, taxes and restrictions. It must also mean ADAPTATION. We need stronger flood https://t.co/iWz20iXG1N #ClimateChange #Adaptation #ExtremeWeather #EU
Extreme weather is now the new normal. Three @UN conferences this year will address land, biodiversity and climate. Different agendas. One interconnected crisis. As #COP17Mongolia begins today, the real test is not what is promised. It is what is delivered. https://t.co/WVOZuwmGNp #ExtremeWeather #ClimateAction #COP17Mongolia #MN
🇪🇺🌧️ EUROPE: PREPARE FOR MAJOR FLOODS NOW After a long, hot summer, Europe faces a new danger: extreme rainfall fueled by a super-heated Mediterranean Sea. The hotter the Mediterranean becomes, the more water evaporates into the atmosphere. When cooler air systems arrive, this https://t.co/P8l1ghaxKI #EuropeFloods #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #EU
Excellent front page story in Le Monde today dives into the reasons for the increase in extreme heat in Europe, exceptional even given #globalheating. Studies link Europe as hot spot for heat extremes to changes in jet stream and the Atlantic ‘cold blob’. https://t.co/yevBsKQ08D #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #EU
Keep in mind: post-1980 trend is NOT VALID anymore. Expect much steeper rise of extreme temps into the future. #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #GlobalWarming #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.
The extreme heat, fire, droughts displacing > 200000 and killing > 20000 in Europe, happens on a 1.4°C planet. We are inevitably breaching 1.5°C and heading towards 3°C. It will be get worse before it potentially gets better (if we urgently change course) https://t.co/poAjXFfHQt #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ExtremeWeather #EU
We've already endured a summer of extreme heat, but @WMO forecasts hotter & drier conditions from South America to South Asia, Europe, Africa & beyond, driving even more severe effects worldwide. We need to #ActNow to protect people & tackle the root cause of the crisis. #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather #ActNow #SA #AS #EU #AF
Climate change is accelerating. It is supercharging extreme weather events, which impact on our bio systems and lead to further greenhouse gas emissions. We need an acceleration in public support for climate action, to stop it becoming a runaway threat. https://t.co/4tk6E01rJU #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #ClimateAction #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
And this happens at 1.4°C. Europe warms > 2X faster than planet as a whole, & heat & drought extremes are amplified by interactions with ocean heat, Jet stream slow-down & atmosphere blocking. Future? It will get worse before it potentially gets better. https://t.co/ozrHbpjJO5 #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #ExtremeWeather #EU
Scientists say climate breakdown is triggering more frequent and more extreme weather events, evaporating soils and waterways, fuelling wildfires and leading to thousands of excess deaths. Europe is heating at about twice the global average rate. https://t.co/utrgl7m1M6 #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather #GlobalWarming #EU
From BAD to WORSE. We already know warmer atmosphere = more lightnings. It increased about 7% already. Further increase of about 18% with each °K increase in the future. WE HAVE BEEN WARNED! #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather #GlobalWarming #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
If *anybody* claims this is normal, or "just summer", at least, be suspicious. This is getting ugly. #suspicious #climatechange #extremeweather #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
