Should I? I am in Europe.

Considering that it’s the fact that it even exists right now is the concerning part, yes.
The earth is a closed system, just because there’s a very early hurricane half a world away doesn’t mean the climate isn’t being effected everywhere.
For you this could mean an increased amount of warm water moving in through the Gulf stream to the North Atlantic. This will bring warmer waters to the coastal regions of Europe increasing the severity of storms there, until that warmer water causes the Gulf stream to completely collapse plunging Europe into an early ice age.
The weather where this hurricane is does directly affect you where you live.

Nope. Don’t need to worry about copious amounts of water raining down, just the water wars.

Maybe focus on the Gulf Stream collapse instead

It’s related. Warming ocean temperatures are amplifying the hurricanes and destabilizing currents like the Gulf Stream - both symptoms of the same problem.

A current not going to Europe will get their attention

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
