Must read on how deaths from extreme heat/climate crisis are being hidden from public view in the US. It’s killing you, but you’re not allowed to know about it. Excellent work by my colleague @ninalakhani.bsky.social
Read it here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story

Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

My take on the decision by Kemi Badenoch to end the fight against the climate crisis and torpedo the U.K. economy and a great critique by @fionaharvey.bsky.social of the falsehoods set out in the Tory press release. This action by Badenoch is utterly shameful.

Kemi Badenoch wants pretend that her opposition to climate targets is based in facts, not culture war reasons.

She’ll need a better grasp of the facts, though – this is a comprehensive debunking from @fionaharvey.bsky.social:

‘Keeping us hooked on fossil fuels’: how can we negotiate with autocracies on the climate crisis?

The bulk of global greenhouse gas emissions come from countries that are not democratic, and many big oil and gas exporters are also authoritarian.
