‘A recent study estimated that 80% of UK homes overheat in the summer.’
A throwaway line in this piece warning us of the dangers posed by 32C heat this weekend in the UK and the fact it’s been directly caused by burning #FossilFuels.
But seriously, our homes are where we retreat in this heat…but there is no escape when they are so poorly insulted, ventilated and shaded from the sun.

It's all global, I was reminded when I saw Trump's gas price hikes hit my Newcastle (NSW) suburb. Our local discount outlet went from 155.9 cents per litre to 87-point-something. Others are around 97c. I blame Trump for this because he caused the current Israel-Iran war back in his first term. He tore up the nuclear agreement that had limited Iran's uranium enrichment project, with transparency and inspection rights. Iran's ensuing nuclear threat was Israel's excuse to attack. Meanwhile China is laughing all the way to the bank because oil-addicted US drivers are paying through the nose while China's rapid adoption of electric vehicles, now around 60%, is saving a fortune (and helping the climate with a 4% reduction in emissions). #Trump, #Iran, #fossilfuels

"The remaining carbon budgets are declining rapidly and the main reason is the world’s failure to curb global CO2 emissions,” said Prof Joeri Rogelj, at Imperial College London, UK. “Under any course of action now, there is a very high chance we will reach and even exceed 1.5C and even higher levels of warming.”
