raphic showing a weather map of Europe during an extreme heatwave, with temperatures highlighted in dark red across much of Western and Southern Europe. Forecast highs include 38°C in Bordeaux, 37°C in Paris, 36°C in Madrid and Rome, 35°C in London, 33°C in Amsterdam and Dubrovnik, and 29°C in Berlin and Budapest. A speech bubble at the top reads: “what do you mean summer hasn’t even started yet??” A green message bubble at the bottom right says: “Do you think when we get to 45 degrees they’ll finally start banning fossil fuels?” The European Greens logo appears in the top right corner.

Hottest May day on record for France, the UK and Ireland. Another year of broken records, another year of slow slow sloooooow climate action and still no ban on fossil fuels. People are suffering, temperatures are increasing, biodiversity is declining. Some people say we sound alarmist. Well, we are alarmed. But we are not paralysed by it. We are demanding action. Time for EU governments to stop their petty arguments and take real climate action.

@alirezairg Talk about the crimes against humanity committed by the Islamic Republic in January. Don't support the crime.

@kox.638771 Don't use the air conditioner, just like you argued

@undes_ecologistii Here's another hot take: all fossil-powered motor sports should be put on notice and scheduled to be shut down in 5 years if they don't switch to fully electric alternatives.

@zepciuc87 Do you think they will stop wars when we get to 45^?

@muddygumble Its to late, enjoy what comfortable time you have left. Stay safe, I love you all.

@grimtragedy When do you think airco will finally be allowed in Germany UK and NL?

@salatmafia I doubt that fossil fuel industry will ever take responsibility. I hate it. I hate that just a few egocentric human beings are controlling the whole world and literally destroy our future in front of our eyes. No consequences, and yet also some conservatives will burn more fossil fuels and f--k all our lives up. I hate that they blame us, each small individual for our "carbon footprint" while this industry and the riches and overly riches burn as much in a day as we do not even within an year!

@simon_zabell @europeangreens When are we going to talk about that 4% of Green MEP’s that voted in favour of hunting immigrants and putting children in cages?

@theo.winth Ai data centres are making it worse. Capitalism or the survival of humanity. Choose one.
