The climate crisis is making extreme wildfire conditions more intense and more common, but our firefighting resources have not kept pace with the scale of the threat. To protect communities and nature, our governments must invest in better firefighting capability in Scotland.

Here's Nick Bridge – the UK's former special representative on climate change under last Tory govt – on Channel 4 News citing @carbonbrief.org analysis about the extreme and relentless anti-climate action campaigning by some UK newspapers "Some of the media is shocking on this..."

An entire article about the ways #ClimateChange is decimating the Bourdeux wine region of France — that never mentions the words “climate change.” This is journalistic malpractice. Not even high-school papers leave out such necessary context. #EndClimateSilence www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/w...

Threat of France-style wildfires 'on our doorstep,' warns Sadiq Khan as London faces 'exceptional' risk this week The capital faces a ‘perfect storm’ of rising temperatures, parched land and lower humidity www.standard.co.uk/news/london...

"Fresh concerns have been raised about Scotland’s traditional “guga hunt” after newly surfaced footage showed people taking part in a sack-race through the seabirds’ breeding ground." www.thenational.scot/news/2641242...

When wildlife and insect populations disappear, ecosystems collapse. When ecosystems collapse, our food, water, climate, and human survival are all affected. Species extinction arrives with silence. Protect habitats. Restore forests. Save rivers. Because a silent planet is not a living planet.

According to the data from flight trackers July 23rd was the busiest day for commercial air travel ever recorded, and in other news, as this summer of extreme heat continues multiple countries are being consumed by wildfires, but that is probably just a coincidence.

That's around 1/4 of a million lives, killed for no reason.

"As Mayor of Greater Manchester, you oversaw the declaration of a #ClimateEmergency & argued that local government lacked many of the powers necessary to deliver the pace of change demanded by the climate challenge. As Prime Minister, those powers now rest with you"

🚨NEW from me: leading climate scientist @rahmstorf.bsky.social tells me of his anger after witnessing firsthand the devastating Gironde wildfires - which he ties directly to politicians' inaction on fossil fuels.

Farmers have warned the industry "can't carry on like this" as they struggle following back-to-back heatwaves and prolonged periods of dry weather, as parts of the UK continue to suffer exceptionally low or no rainfall. Suha Kidwai & Fin Gray | The Independent

Serial heatwaves, unprecedented leaps between old and new temperature extremes, mass evacuations - and speechless governments. Because the words they would have to say in their second sentences are “fossil fuels”. And they mostly just cannot. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

“The 2026 heatwave has been something else entirely. Extreme heat now goes hand in hand with megafires, the destruction of whole landscapes, the collapse of environments and the evacuation of entire towns. The health crisis has become a crisis of habitability.” www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

I'm hearing Bev Craig didn't turn up to the hustings in Greater Manchester this evening organised by the Forum of Muslim Organisations. After years of complicity in a genocide Labour won't even acknowledge, it's a great shame they couldn't even show up and explain themselves.

Jason Hickel: "This new study finds that the total death toll in Europe during the June heatwave exceeds 20,000 people." "This result highlights the accelerating threat of mass heat mortality events in Europe despite previous adaptations to heat." Pre-print below.
