This picture is not from Canada or Australia but of a #wildfire in Langdale Forest in North Yorkshire. Bearing in mind that Yorkshire is usually several degrees cooler than the South of England, temperature today is up to 33c - this fire is not under control and smoke is now visible on satellite pictures. Fire crews from neighbouring counties are helping out.. welcome to our new normal and #ClimateCrisis - news reports today will doubtless focus on people eating ice cream in parks and cooling off in fountains .. Sigh..

In the centre of the image is the back view of a red and yellow fire engine and behind it and a bit to the left is a white man with short brown hair wearing black trousers and red short sleeved shirt. They are on a dirt road and in the background can see a forest of large trees with billowing clouds of smoke drifting to the left top corner which is coming from a forest fire. This is Langdale Forest in North Yorkshire a few miles from Whitby. Picture is from a social media post from North Yorkshire Weather Updates on 13th August 2025.

Steve Keen & Ye Tao pull no punches: economics, politics & media have failed the climate test. From degrowth to geoengineering to nature-based fixes—it's time to expand the toolbox & prepare for survival. #ClimateCrisis#Degrowth #ClimateActionhttps://youtu.be/V7vZGYfXChw

More reporting that top insurers say the #ClimateCrisis “could soon outpace industry solutions, effectively threatening to make entire regions around the world uninsurable.”

Typically required for getting a mortgage.

Tell me again how smart climate solutions “cost too much.”

We’re bad at math.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner.

Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

"The First Nations Seasonal Metrics vastly outperformed many of today’s leading forecasting models. Compared to an already strong baseline model, the First Nations data were 14.6 percent more accurate while reducing the error rate by 26.2 percent—less than half the error rate of existing forecasting programs."

More evidence showing that other forms of knowledge generation beyond Western science have value. So much potential for human progress is lost through a focus on one kind of science and one language (English).
