The Amazon is on fire and the Arctic is melting.
Iceland has lost a glacier which no one thought would ever disappear.
Meanwhile, freak weather is dumping months of rain in minutes – turning European streets into rivers.
There is no denying what we can all see in front of our faces or on disturbing images broadcast around the world.
The climate is changing and the world’s governments need to wake
up to that reality.
Donald Trump and his legion of fans are reluctant to admit humanity has any bearing on this crisis.
For them, coal is king, the world’s resources are there for the taking and hang the consequences.
In Scotland, it’s easy to shrug this off as we enjoy some welcome sunshine.
But in Greenland, the eastern coast was a very noticeable 9C warmer than the average between 1981 and 2010.
We’ve reached a point when a journey around the coast which took three weeks 40 years ago now takes a day.

Fair play to fan
Football rivalries as intense as Celtic and Rangers spill over into everyday life.
That Old Firm divide can all too often look too wide to bridge. But writer Tony Roper is proof that there is more that brings us together than splits us apart.
Stories like his tale about a Rangers fan helping him through a potential flashpoint by lending him a scarf show far more supporters are more interested in the game than bigotry and hatred.
With football in the dock again and the first Old Firm derby of the season looming this weekend, all fans could do with taking a leaf out Roper’s book.
Well done, girls
Sisters Isla and Eilidh saved two lives, thanks to their bravery.
A man and his toddler could have died in the North Sea had Isla not swam out while Eilidh called for help.
All of us would echo the words of the RNLI Fraserburgh –they deserve medals.
