*[Enwl-eng] Climate change takes no prisoners

[enwl]

Our forests are on fire and it’s now or never to limit global warming…
 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 
‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ 
‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 
‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 
‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌
      Climate change is causing wildfires and deadly heat waves. This is the 
last chance to reach an agreement among key countries and combat global 
warming. Call on our governments to take this seriously.

      SIGN NOW
We face the real and current consequences of climate change. France, Spain 
and Portugal caught fire. The heat wave of temperatures as high as 45 
degrees Celsius happens not due to the natural course of things. It is 
because governments are still not taking the right actions and decisions 
regarding climate change.

Authorities across Europe are battling to control huge wildfires. More than 
1000 deaths have been attributed to the nearly week-long heatwave in 
Portugal and Spain so far. [1] Since May, Europe has been among the fastest 
“heat wave hot spots” in the world. Forecasts show no sign of abating, and 
it's now moving towards Northern countries, with the UK expecting 41 degrees 
today. [2]

European and world leaders must protect our forests as a key line of defence 
against climate change. We need to treat this as the emergency that it is 
and push for urgent action. There is still time to limit the disruption and 
stay on course to avoid the worst-case climate scenarios. [3]

As the UN Secretary-General António Guterres said “We have a choice. 
Collective action or collective suicide. It is in our hands.” [4] Will you 
call on the EU and European governments to take the climate crisis seriously 
and protect our forests and planet before it’s too late?

            Yes - count me in!
