Recent extreme floods and heat waves have made one thing really clear: the climate crisis is here and its impacts are a daily reality of people and communities across Europe and the world. But the real culprits – the coal, oil and gas industry – keep getting away with it.

We can’t allow them to continue using pictures of packed beaches and ice creams in their reporting on heat waves, and fail to make the connection between ever more frequent storms and floods and the climate crisis.
