#badnewsoftheday — Public Fediverse posts

So, letztes Wochenende vor dem Ende der langen Pause.

Heute nochmal extraviel chillen.

Ab morgen gibt's dann wieder... #BadNewsOfTheDay, aber auch: die neue Geschichte, die ich im 2. Buch erzähle: Gemeinsam gegen die Angst - solidarische #Kollapspolitik.

Kommt Oktober im mandelbaum Verlag raus :)

Good news of the day: "Südfrankreich: Ausbreitung von #Waldbrand nach 18 Tagen gestoppt"

#BadNewsOfTheDay: im #Klimakollaps, mit der marinen Hitzewelle ("Waldbrände im Meer") & dem SuperDuper El Nino ist nach der Katastrophe immer nur vor der Katastrophe.

heute keine #badnewsoftheday

erstens würde mich das zu sehr runterziehen.

zweitens seht ihr es ja selbst: feuer, dürre, wassermangel, und der superduper El Nino hat noch nicht mal richtig angefangen. faschismus, verrohung, verdummung. etc.

was für eine schöne neue zukunft.

Morning, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:

1. Europe is burning, and might just not stop:

"There was a risk that 'we'll have all Europe on fire', and simultaneous blazes could overwhelm firefighting efforts. This could lead to Europe-wide overload through large wildfires across several nations."
https://www.ft.com/content/4f19a851-7d59-4b82-8fa5-5ccbfe471158?syn-25a6b1a6=1

Morning, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:

1. We live in the #pyrocene, where "Wildfires are entering tipping-point territory. 'Fuels and atmospheric conditions [are] crossing critical points the historical models simply didn’t need to represent."

That sort of thing is part of climate #collapse.
https://www.ft.com/content/3e99a9ea-f2b9-48b0-a346-e7a16065966c?syn-25a6b1a6=1

Here's your #BadNewsOfTheDay, as usual with a focus on #climatecollapse.

1. "We need to be better prepared every year for a climate emergency that is surpassing every level that scientists have been warning us about."

It's really happening: the climate is tipping, and we're watching in real time.
https://www.ft.com/content/45867580-65a2-4a7d-ba4c-8143e86f4e36?syn-25a6b1a6=1

Morning, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:

1. #Collapse is literally one catastrophe after the other. After the European #heatwave, "forecasters warn of record-breaking US summer heat amid intense El Niño

More than 100m people could be affected this week."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/02/el-nino-summer-heat-record

Top #BadNewsOfTheDay: eine postfossile #Energiewende findet nicht statt:

"Mehr Erneuerbare, mehr Fossile, mehr Emissionen

Weltweit wird so viel mehr Energie verbraucht, dass erneuerbare Energien nicht hinterherkommen. Emissionen sind 2025 erneut leicht gestiegen."

Told ya.

Morning. A reminder that #BadNewsOfTheDay ain't just #climate stuff.

1. "‘Witch-hunt’ in Niger as military regime rounds up #queer population: Fears of resurgence of HIV/Aids amid loss of access to PrEP as at least 40 people arrested in ‘toxic’ climate."

Attacking migrants & attacking queers 🤝
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/01/witch-hunt-in-niger-as-military-regime-rounds-up-lgbtq-population

Morning, your #BadNewsOfTheDay are here.

1. #collapse is here, & it's starting in the oceans:

"A record global average sea temperature in June had pushed the world into 'uncharted territory'. Daily sea surface temperature had surpassed the previous monthly highs."
https://www.ft.com/content/857d4917-b04b-4349-b90a-7f3cf7aabd3f?syn-25a6b1a6=1

Morning all, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay, still very much #heatwave-focused.

1. The main point is: #HeatKills, and the numbers are coming in.

In Frankreich hat die tagelange zu vielen Todesfällen geführt. In Paris sind die Leichenhallen überfüllt...
https://www.zdfheute.de/panorama/frankreich-rekordhitze-tote-100.html

Morning, your #BadNewsOfTheDay continue to be #heatwave-focused.

1. #HeatKills: "Laut WHO mehr als 1300 zusätzliche Todesfälle durch Hitzewelle in Europa

Die aktuelle Hitzewelle in Europa ist mitverantwortlich für Hunderte zusätzlicher Todesfälle."
https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/laut-who-mehr-als-1300-zusaetzliche-todesfaelle-durch-hitzewelle-in-europa-102.html

Morning, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay.

1. It's still *way* too hot.

"The #heatwave in Europe is the most severe ever and is only possible due to the climate crisis. Almost half of Europe’s 850 largest cities are enduring their worst ever heat stress."
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/26/europe-heatwave-impossible-without-climate-crisis-scientists

Morning, your #BadNewsOfTheDay are largely that it's very, very hot. Actually, it's hotter than ever before 😬

1. "The UK has broken its all-time temperature record for June and France has recorded its hottest day ever for the second day running."
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/24/uk-records-hottest-june-day

Morning, your #BadNewsOfTheDay.

1. Die #Hitzewelle zwingt uns kurzfristig, den #Kollaps in den Blick zu nehmen:

"Der Klimaw. hat den Temperaturen bis zu 4 Grad hinzugefügt. Europa nähere sich den Temperaturgrenzen, an die sich Gesellschaften und Ökosysteme noch anpassen könnten."

& then it's game over...
https://www.zeit.de/wissenschaft/umwelt/2026-06/klimawandel-hitzewelle-4-grad-heisser

#BadNewsOfTheDay, #heatwave special.

1. "2 children found dead in car in France as heatwave hits Europe"

#HeatKills, it kills silently, it kills invisibly, & it kills unjustly. As we experience more & more heatwaves, what will us climate-justice-types do?

We need to be prepared to help folks!
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/22/europe-record-heatwave-temperatures-forecast-reach-44c

Morning, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:

1. #Assholification: "EU countries could set up deportation centres outside the bloc by next year, amid a broader hardening of immigration policy & outsourcing migration management to non-EU countries."

As always: we pay others to sort out our problems...
https://www.ft.com/content/cce58433-02bf-47aa-9222-89dd4e0ba2bd?syn-25a6b1a6=1

#BadNewsOfTheDay, Hitzespecial.

1. "So heiß, dass die Autobahn Wellen schlägt

Bis zu 39 Grad heiß soll es werden. Straßen gehen kaputt. Wetterdienst warnt vor Unwettern. Festivals mussten geräumt werden."

39 Grad, dann noch nen Job draußen. Killercombo. #HeatKills

It's a bright, sunny morning in summer, so here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:

1. Wegen Klimawandel und El Niño: "2026 wird zu den wärmsten Jahren überhaupt zählen".

Und das wird bedeuten: richtig viel #Klimachaos & #Klimakatastrophe & Klimaungerechtigkeit.
https://www.zdfheute.de/wissen/el-nino-klimawandel-hitze-rekordjahr-100.html

Morning all. Wolf is visiting his mum, so no Irish Coffee today, but more #BadNewsOfTheDay.

1. #Climatecollapse + #ElNino are coming for our food supplies:

“With a bad long-term drought and an already severe drought, we might get a ‘mini-Dust Bowl’."

Cf. "dust bowl" & "great depression"...

#BadNewsOfTheDay extra edition:

The #AMOC -slowdown is affecting weather in india NOW.

"Atlantic ‘cold blob’ may be rewiring India’s monsoon. New research suggests its influence extends thousands of kilometres away into the heart of the Indian summer monsoon".

https://www.newindianexpress.com/xplore/2026/Jun/19/atlantic-cold-blob-may-be-rewiring-indias-monsoon

Here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:

1. The reason why there can never be majorities for a just socio-ecological transformation in the rich world is that ca. half of Northern populations belong to "the highest-consuming 10% of the world’s population."

"Mega-consumers in this group are concentrated in the global north, accounting for more than half the population of the US and 40-45% of people in the EU."

Most of you reading this will be such "mega-consumers", I'm pretty sure I'm one of them, and I'm pretty economically precarious. We've been bought by and have bought into the system, because it gives us nice stuff, and we want to keep our nice stuff - even if it kills us.

Which means that the left injunction on "critiques of consumption" is so much self-serving bullshit.
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/18/mega-consumers-food-energy-damage-cost-environment

Morning! Here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:

1. "Vannacci calls for a return to 'cultural homogeneity'."

The privileged world is becoming more fascist. Calls for "Cultural homogeneity" & "Monoculturalism" are escalating, & will gain increasing traction - & that will lead to pogroms like in Belfast.
https://www.ft.com/content/0ac836c4-1402-4d31-a8b5-21f6a0255046?syn-25a6b1a6=1

Good morning all, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay.

1. When's the #AMOC gonna #collapse?

Given that "it’s at the weakest it’s been in around 1,000 years", AND then there's this new cold blob, this will be a problem in Europe MUCH earlier than we think.

It's still an outlier guess, but given how the last years have always pushed the Amoc collapse date closer to now, I think AMOC slowdown will cause *significant*, radical cooling in Europe starting in the 1st half of the 2030s.

The type of cooling to cause MASSIVE disruption to food etc.

Morning, your #BadNewsOfTheDay are back.

1. We'll start with #climate stuff. The El Nino

“My personal opinion is that we will see the 2.5C threshold broken, & may even approach 3C, challenging the strongest El Nino on record in 1877-8."

Guten morgen und sláinte Ihr Lieben 😘

Heute wieder keine #BadNewsOfTheDay. Ein bisschen Pause...

Morning, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay

1. "Antarctic surface melt could jump tenfold this century as warming spreads south".

All these catastrophic climate news a la "rapid increase", "faster/higher than expected" taken together seem to suggest that the climate system is leaving its stable state.
https://phys.org/news/2026-06-antarctic-surface-tenfold-century-south.html

Morning, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay.

1. Heute tritt die #GEAS in Kraft: eine Migrationspolicy, die von der radikalen Rechten inspiriert, & mittlerweile in den EU fast politischer Konsens ist.

Heute beweist die EU, dass - moralische Supermacht hin oder her - sie eine #Arschlochgesellschaft ist.

Here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay:

1. Racist riots in #NorthernIreland are continuing. Imagine: a racist mob marauding through the streets, attacking "non-white" people, everybody whom they consider enemies afraid to even venture outside?

And then ask yourself: how would I react? What would I do?

Here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay.

1. "Anti-immigrant protests flare up across Belfast after knife attack":

Ireland is one of those European countries (cf. Holland) that are reaching a tipping point towards a massive escalation of fascist violence vs. migrants.

The playbook is the same in country after country.
