  @David@setouchi.social As the AFP reported, it's the high humidity in Japan (not just the temperatures) that makes heatwaves significantly more dangerous than in Europe. Anyway, It's the 21st century. All zoos use animals as props, and all zoos are unnecessary anachronisms. You appear to be confusing zoos with wildlife sanctuaries. They aren't: just a tiny minority of animals held in zoos are endangered, and the vast majority are held in pens to sell tickets. Europe isn't a spe...

  "Three Lions Die at Zoo in Tokyo; Autopsies Indicate Deaths Caused by Heatstroke" Autopsies revealed that all three suffered from dehydration and multiple organ failure, and the cause of all the deaths is believed to be heatstroke.

  "While Canada faces record-breaking wildfires and heat waves, and current global events have exposed fossil fuel market volatility, Prime Minister Mark Carney is promising to fast-track and finance a new climate-polluting, ecosystem-destroying, economically reckless pipeline that will add to Canada’s climate crisis."

  As multiple wildfires burn out of control across BC, former NDP MPs & MLAs, Indigenous leaders and community leaders have written an open letter to David Eby and the BC NDP caucus, calling for action on the climate crisis.

Secondly, it’s an expression of hope that they’ll do the right thing and recommit to the climate program and a...

  Heatstroke alerts have been issued in 39 of 47 prefectures; officials are calling on residents to remain vigilant for heatstroke, use air conditioners, drink adequate amounts of water, take salt, and avoid prolonged outdoor activities. The extreme heat caused many people across the country to be taken to hospital for heatstroke treatment. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20260723_05/ #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave #ExtremeWeather #Japan #NoPipelines #Kokushobi #Kokusho

  Smoke from wildfires burning in northern Ontario made Toronto the most polluted city in the world on Wednesday.

  “It’s not just about having more fires to fight, it’s the risk of operational collapse (…). When two or three fires break out simultaneously, we are forced to make immediate triage decisions.” “In the end, the response capacity is limited (…). When we face these huge fires, these extreme events, it’s like trying to put firefighters on a beach to stop a tsunami.” https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/jul/18/the-impossible-choices-of-a-deadly-wildfire-season #Canada #CDNPoli #NoP...

  "The science is clear: to avert the worst impacts of climate change and preserve a liveable planet, global warming needs to be limited as much as possible and as a matter of urgency." "Every fraction of a degree of warming matters. With every additional increment of global warming, changes in extremes and risks become larger." It is crucial we act to minimize the damage by "urgently and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and phasing out fossil fuels."...

  Wildfire smoke attacks your lungs, heart and brain: Harmful particulates in wildfire smoke travels deep into the lungs, slips into the bloodstream, and gets into the brain directly through the nose. When toxins reach the brain, they can cause inflammation, lack of focus, and headache; long-term exposure leads to brain damage and cognitive decline. https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/how-does-wildfire-smoke-affect-your-brain-today-and-down-the-road/article_44886cd9-7f31-5533-8ad2-48e91...

  "The IPCC reports could not be clearer: if we want to hold global warming to 1.5C, launching new fossil fuel projects is completely off the table. It is all about damage control at this point(…).

  Harnessing solar power has saved Europe €20 billion between 1 March and 15 July by lowering demand for fossil fuel imports.

  EcoJustice: 'Tell your MP to stop fuelling wildfires' Science shows that climate change — fuelled by burning coal, oil, and gas — is making wildfires bigger, hotter, and more frequent, creating what experts call “supercharged” wildfire seasons. We need to rein in the destruction while we still can. Failing to address climate change is costing us, it’s costing you — from rebuilding after climate disasters to higher insurance premiums for our homes to rising grocery prices due to supply...
