There's a lot of things wrong with #TheGuardian but I do appreciate their language use on #ClimateCrisis reporting.

"Global heating caused by the burning of fossil fuels."

That's clear and reminds people of the causes. I wish other news media (such as here in Belgium) wouldn't shy away from using similar language. But they're concerned in coming across as 'too alarmist' - while they aren't nearly alarmist enough, instead showing images of happy people in the sun during continent wide heat waves...

#ClimateDiary more worrying research

“We are witnessing a true reversal of ocean circulation in the Southern Hemisphere—something we’ve never seen before,” explains Antonio Turiel, ICM-CSIC researcher and co-author of the study. “While the world is debating the potential collapse of the AMOC in the North Atlantic, we’re seeing that the SMOC is not just weakening, but has reversed. This could have unprecedented global climate impacts.”

I think so much about middle class-ness at the moment. More research in news this week how it’s the top 10%, those with incomes over £36,000, who are largely responsible for CO2 emissions; but it’s even more than that; middle-class aspirations shape everything. So conscious of this now as I am so driven in finding work so as not to have to sell our (nice, middle class, highly mortgaged house). Then a friend just sent me this - must read. #ClimateDiary
