Glasgow commuters stranded as freezing weather plagues electric buses

The freezing weather last week disrupted #Glasgow's #electric #buses, causing their batteries to drain faster than usual, and leaving people stranded during their commute.

Some of First Bus’s double-deckers were halted mid-journey due to the freezing temperatures.

I've less confidence in battery powered airliners. It's a bit chilly at altitude.

Britain leads the world in cracking down on climate activism, study finds

#British #police arrest #environmental protesters at nearly three times the global average rate, research has found, revealing the country as a world leader in the legal crackdown on climate #activism.

The research comes amid an outcry over the targeting of #climate and environmental #protesters, with a rise in the suppression of dissent around the world as the climate, biodiversity and #pollution crises take hold.

Great idea but young people already don't listen to their elders and I don' think they're gonna start NOW.

I think regardless of how things all shake out, older people should be writing up their memories of what the climate in their area was like when they were kids, compared to what it's like now.I don't think young people really know. It's different seeing data charts compared to hearing people's oral history of it. #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency

Deadly Flooding in Central and Eastern Europe Wreaks Havoc From Austria to Romania

Downpours from low-pressure system Storm Boris led to some of the most serious flooding in almost three decades across Central and Eastern Europe.

Austria, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic have all been experiencing extreme rainfall. A state of emergency has been declared by the Polish government, reported CNN.

According to Polish news agency PAP, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has secured $260 million in emergency funding for the country’s hardest hit regions.

The electricity and hot water were cut off for thousands in the Czech Republic when authorities closed heating plants due to the floods. Near the country’s border with Poland, 280,000 residents in Ostrava were left with no hot water, CNN Prima said.

Stop jailing climate truth tellers!

This sentence is a gut-punch for us all. #Peaceful climate activists will spend the next four to five years in jail.

Why? For leading a video call about a #protest against the last government’s failure to act on climate change and its plans to “max out” on #oil and #gas.

This is the tragic result of repressive #Tory laws which treat peaceful climate protesters as violent offenders.
- Activists can now be #jailed for up to ten years!
- Meanwhile, big #polluters destroy our planet with impunity.

Half of Kew Gardens tree species at risk of death owing to climate crisis

#Botanical gardens lost 400 trees during 2022 drought, prompting research into potential loss in coming decades

Founded in 1840, #Kew #Gardens says it houses the largest botanical collection in the world.

During the drought of 2022, the botanical gardens in south-west London lost 400 of its trees. Scientists at Kew decided they should map and chronicle the climate risk to the trees to see how many could feasibly be lost to the changing weather in the coming decades.

One field, Adnoc #LNG, flared gas on more than 99% of the days monitored by satellite from 2018 to 2022, according to data produced for the Guardian by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea). One expert said this was not routine flaring “by any normal definition”.

The analysis assessed flaring in 32 oil and gas fields in the UAE, 20 of which are run by Adnoc. It shows four fields flared on at least 97% of the days for which data was available, which was most days as measurements were interrupted by cloud cover on only one day in five."
