827 corps ont été retrouvés sous les décombres de Gaza
Le 6 septembre, des familles de Gaza se tenaient devant près de cent linceuls. Certaines de ces personnes étaient mortes près de trois ans auparavant. Elles n’avaient jamais atteint une tombe. Leurs corps et leurs restes étaient restés sous les maisons effondrées, tandis que leurs familles attendaient à la surface. Laissez Gaza retrouver ses morts. Laissez les familles leur dire adieu. Laissez Gaza enterrer ses morts.

The Telegraph & other #ClimateChange deniers are comparing this heat wave to 1976 & deduct there's nothing to worry about. Below, the temperature chart for the UK 1884-2020. The isolated red bars on the left - that's isolated hot summers. On the right, that's climate change. Source below.
A bar graph that shows horizontal lines of either blue or red over time. In the past, the majority of bars was blue, with isolated red lines indicating hot summers. For the more recent years, roughly a quarter of the timelime, the bars are predominantly red, with isolated blue ones thrown in.

The multimillionaire Nigel Farage rails against climate action, while gliding from one air-conditioned building to another. He knows that he and his ilk will suffer least. But he is prepared to sacrifice everyone else to the demands of his fossil-fuelled funders. So much for "the man of the people".
