This is what the sunrise over New York looked like today due to wildfire smoke coming over from Canada. Air quality levels are at unhealthy, at over 10 times the guidelines recommended by the WHO. This is the reality of living through the #climate crisis.
Wildfire smoke has made Ottawa, Canada, air quality currently the worst in the world, and parts of northeastern US aren't far behind https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#4.41/42.22/-85.94

#Greenwashing: How the EU is seeking to address false claims https://p.dw.com/p/4RZh2?maca=en-Twitter-sharing The Green Claims Directive would require firms to substantiate their climate-friendly claims with evidence.
Worth mentioning that folk often assume climate change is the primary culprit of terrestrial extinction. While atmospheric warming is indeed a new stressor on the block, it is habitat loss & land change that is doing the most harm to the wild. And it so happens the primary driver of habitat loss is animal agriculture & its feedcrops (Living Planet Report, 2022).
In other words, the 6th Extinction event on our home planet cannot be averted wiithout changing what we eat, and how we produce it.
