It's being an extraordinary warm November in Europe where hundreds of records have fallen from West to East from South to North.
The exception is Italy,which is also the only country worldwide which hasn' t broken a single heat record in the whole season and is not expected to do so

Ook in 🇬🇧 maken wetenschappers zich grote zorgen over het gebrek aan politieke daadkracht, en komen in actie.
Op 27 november is daar een National Emergency Briefing - een uitstekende naam, overigens - waarin de crisis wordt geduid, en wat de politiek concreet zou moeten doen.

I’ve just announced I’ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , it’s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all .

For those who really don't know, here's how Obamacare work.
I buy insurance. Then at tax time, I get a rebate depending on how much I have earned and the level of subsidies I qualify for. I NEVER RECEIVE A DIRECT PAYMENT from the government. I received a tax rebate on taxes I would otherwise owe.

Labour were broken a long time ago.
Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.
A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.
