when #ecosystems thrive, they protect us—absorbing #floods, softening #heatwaves, keeping #disease in check. #forests, #wetlands, #reefs, and #grasslands act as nature’s safety net, holding everything in #balance. but when we destroy them, we unravel the very systems keeping us alive. ⁠

by protecting #nature, we protect ourselves. every #tree, every #river, every #species is part of the web that holds our world together. if we want a future, we have to fight for it.

Fire chiefs warn UK is not prepared for climate crisis impacts

The #UK is not prepared for the impact of #ClimateBreakdown, fire chiefs have said, as they called on the government to take urgent action to protect communities.
The National Fire Chiefs Council (#NFCC) said the ability of fire services to tackle #weather-related emergencies was at risk, despite them often being the primary frontline response to major weather events including #flooding, #fires caused by #heatwaves, and #storm-related emergencies, all of which are becoming more common.
The #MetOffice predicts that winters by 2070 will be as much as 4.5C #warmer and 30% #wetter than they were in 1990, while summers may be up to 6C warmer and 60% #drier. The south of England is projected to face temperatures reaching 40C (104F) and #rainfall is expected to increase by a quarter.
