The stark jump in UK summer temperatures in 2025 isnāt a one-off anomaly ā itās a clear sign of accelerating climate change. This isnāt normal. This is a dangerous trend, and itās getting worse with every tonne of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere.

What if politicians and the market aren't actually in control of #EarthSystemsCollapse? What if they don't have a plan to save us? We end up needing to fall back on mutual support in our local communities. That's why I say the @scottishgreens have a responsibility to highlight
