Beautifully written explanation of why Europe’s heatwave must not be normalised, whether it’s to “but that’s every summer in Australia” or to “I guess this is just what summer will be like in Europe from now on”. There is still time to mitigate some level of climate change, and we don’t want to waste that opportunity with apathy and inertia. #heatwave #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis France Is Hotter Than the Sahara.

@emmadavidson@aus.social Thank you for the posting this. I've been frustrated by the "just install air conditioning" rhetoric that's been doing the rounds (which is ridiculous for a multitude of reasons).

@emmadavidson@aus.social Also: it's not the new normal. It's one of the coolest summer of the rest of our lifes if we don't stop climate change. Change is still ongoing. #heatwave #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

@emmadavidson@aus.social w're doomed because of the greed of a few. Do we let this happen, are they really untouchable? Or do surrounding people give them the power.

@emmadavidson@aus.social I also missed any messages from media or politics that now would be the time to change climate policy. EVERYBODY just said we need to deal with it now. Idf climate change is not the first point mentioned it's bad.
