    I just re-watched on DVD - hadn't seen it since its release, and I'd forgotten how explosive and moving it was. Despite the time that's passed, this is still a vitally important film. Action is more urgent than ever.

    👏👏👏 for by 2050 announced today. And then please read this thread. And then panic (in a sustained-effective-action way)

    Woke up with the climate horrors again. Thinking of the millions in India facing the heat and lack of water. Heat at this level kills, it harms, people, animals (wild & domestic), crops. This is what true horror looks like, and we are only at 1 degree of warming, heading for 4.

    Today was the hottest day in the recorded history of New Delhi, India — 118.4°F (48.0°C). “You can’t imagine the heat. As you step out, it’s a furnace on your body." We are in a climate emergency and we have no historical reference for where we are heading as a species.

    'Delhi is burning. You can't imagine the heat. As you step out, it's a furnace on your body' - writes a colleague. Curious to see what the attribution is here when scientists crunch the data.
