David Frost, "Rising temperatures (from climate change) are likely to be beneficial.. We can adjust to the perfectly manageable consequences of slowly rising temperatures." Frost also says the cost to mitigate climate change is 1-2% of GDP. Brexit now costs the UK 5.5% of GDP. So if we rejoin the EU, we can spend that extra on helping save the planet. Win-win.

France's heatwave is becoming a national emergency. Macron urges to stay vigilant 🙏 French President has urged the nation to protect themselves as much as possible and adapt to unprecedented conditions.

Why does climate change matter? We care because, ultimately, climate change is about human health, as President Pedro Sánchez said. Rising sea levels and temperatures contribute to cardiovascular disease, and fuel the spread of communicable diseases to new places. Extreme weather events take lives. Air pollution fills our lungs with poison. The #ClimateCrisis is not sometime in the future. It’s right here and now. #COP29

The UK has entered its third heatwave this year with temperatures expected to climb as high as 35°C in some areas later this week. The Met Office said that South East England has now officially met the heatwave criteria, after three days of temperatures above 28. Temperatures are set to continue to rise across the UK throughout the week, and more regions are likely to reach their local heatwave thresholds.
