Cyclone #Zelia ravages Australia's west coast. Winds up to 195 km/h. #ClimateChange amplifies such weather extremes. Residents urged to stay indoors. Schools, airports closed. Heavy rain threatens flash floods, damages. We must #ActInClimate now! #ClimateCrisis

#FlashFlood in #Virginia, #Kentucky after strong storm. #Hurley underwater. 1 dead. Evacuation orders. Damages. State of emergency declared in West Virginia. #ClimateChange amplifies storms as warmer air holds more moisture. Yet, USA has climate-denier president. #ClimateCrisis

Big brush #fire on #LongIsland, #NewYork. State of emergency. 50% contained. NYC commuters affected. #ClimateChange amplifying risk. Above-normal potential for wildfires in Alaska from April, South California from May. We must #ActOnClimate, instead Climate denier in White House.

Ex-cyclone #Alfred causes destruction in Queensland #Australia. Flooding. 2 months rain in 24 hours. 300,000 without power. Worst ever there. Storm damages. #ClimateCrisis early effects in country whose powerful mining lobby keeps funding denial. Much worse to come. #ActOnClimate

Severe #flooding all over the world. #Durham, #Florence, #Pisa, #Northampton, #California, #Bolivia. All in just one day. #ClimateChange amplifies weather extremes. Now, it’s floods, storms, droughts - soon it’ll be food shortages, mass migration, sea level rise. #ActOnClimateNow

Flash flooding hits Greek island. #Paros. #Mykonos. #Crete. Devastation. Cars washed away. Hail. Travel bans. Holidays disrupted. New flood alerts incoming. #ClimateChange amplifies storms, inundation. Worse consequences to come. We must reduce CO2 emissions urgently. 🚨

#Detroit #flooding. Record-breaking rain. Inundation in suburb. Worst 1-day rainfall in region’s history. Drainage overwhelmed. Damages. Travel disrupted. More showers on the way. #ClimateChange intensifies floods as warmer air holds more moisture. Worse to come. #ActOnClimate

#FlashFloods in #Midwest. 19 dead. 390 road closures in #Kentucky alone. Mudslides. Damages. Region’s shifting storm patterns follow scientific predictions precisely. #ClimateCrisis early stages. We need drastic #ClimateActionNow. Cut emissions. Science-led political party.

#TexasFlooding, #GuadalupeRiver - at least 27 dead. Many children. Reason: unusually severe downpours. #ClimateChange makes such freak weather events more likely. We must unite to demand #ClimateActionNow! The survival of human civilisation is at stake! #DefundFossilFuels

#ClimateCrisis at the doorstep of #NewYorkCity, #NewJersey. Flash flooding. 2 dead. 2000 flights grounded. 50 million under flood alert. @Americans! - Demand more climate action now (while we still can). #DefundFossilFuels #ChangeLandUse #FlyLessBuyLess #CriminaliseLobbying

Flooding after heavy downpours in West Germany. The #ClimateCrisis will hit the entire world, not just the global South. We must act now! Change land use. Science-led politics. Criminalise special interest lobbying. Climate education in school. #FightClimateChange

#Trump denies #ClimateChange in front of UN general assembly. Economy risks to lose future competitiveness by holding back cheap, renewable energy. Embarrasses scientific standing of US administration. One man’s stupidity playing Russian roulette with human civilisation.

Storm #Ragasa causes severe damage in #Taiwan. Heavy rainfall bursts dam, flooding several towns. At least 14 people have died, more than 100 are missing. Millions evacuate. #ClimateChange amplifies storms. Erratic water cycles, food shortages next. Act on climate now!

#WesternAlaska hit by Typhoon #Halong remnants. At least 1 dead, 2 missing, 1,500 airlifted & displaced. Great damages. #ClimateChange has demonstrably increased frequency of severe storms. #ActOnClimate or rising food costs, heat and water scarcity devastate you & your children.

#Mosquitoes found in #Iceland. Record heat in previously mosquito-free haven has enabled invasion. 2025 saw 10 consecutive days of 20C degrees, hottest ever May day. #ClimateChange threatens to have devastating impacts on ecosystems around the world. We must #ActOnVlimateNow.

#Melissa strongest hurricane in recorded history hits #Jamaica. Stronger than #hurricane Katrina. #ClimateChange leads to stronger storms today, water & food shortages later, and eventually rising sea levels. We must #ActOnClimate now before it’s too late!

Water scarcity in #Iran. Drinking #water in #Tehran is shut off every evening for 15 million people. Many parts of Iran have not had rain for weeks. Reservoirs are running dry. #ClimateCrisis will lead to extreme #drought, water shortage. Cut emissions now!

Significant #flooding across #uk after storm Claudia. Major incident declared in South Wales, severe conditions in some suburbs of Birmingham. Hundred of flood warnings. We must stop closing our eyes to what’s coming and demand #ClimateActionNow #WakeUpToRealityNow

Historic flooding in northwestern US & Canada. Once 1 in 10 year atmospheric river now happened 3x in a week. Worse than 2021 flood. 100k asked to evacuate. Great damages. #ClimateChange makes weather more erratic. Future floods to be even worse. Act on climate decisively now!

Floods in Morocco. At least 37 dead, dozens injured. Streets turned rivers in Safi after extreme downpours. More rain forecast. At the same time, drought since 2018. Warmer air and ocean due to #ClimateChange holds more moisture, intensifies storms. We must #ActOnClimate!
