  1. From #Arctic heat to #megafires, #WMO report shows climate change completely reshaping #Europe

    By Andrei Ionescu, 6/2/2026

    "In the far north, climate change is not some distant warning anymore. It is already reshaping the landscape.

    "Across Alaska and Canada, Arctic and boreal regions are warming up to four times faster than the global average.

    "That puts a huge amount of pressure on #ecosystems that have long helped slow climate change by pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and storing it in #trees, #shrubs, and #soil.

    When forests stop helping

    "The trouble is, those ecosystems do not always stay helpful under stress.

    "As wildfires grow more intense, drought becomes more common, and other disturbances spread, parts of the north may start giving #carbon back to the atmosphere instead of locking it away.

    "Once that happens, the whole climate system becomes harder to stabilize.

    "That is why scientists care so much about #biomass, the total amount of living plant material across these landscapes."

    Wow! Very interesting work. If it pans out the potential is incredible.

    And an interesting twist - as IIRC, in some areas bamboo became a problem because it was no longer harvested the make various products, because plastics were cheaper. Turn around is fair play, after all.

    "
    Kleine Rodungsflächen führen zu massiven Kohlenstoffverlusten in tropischen Wäldern
    "
    ".. Daten stammen aus der Klimawandelinitiative RECCAP-2 und dem Projekt „Biomass“ der .. ESA. .."

    "Kleine Rodungen (< 2 ha) machen nur 5 % der gestörten Waldfläche aus, sind jedoch für 56 % der Netto-Kohlenstoffverluste verantwortlich."

    "
    ESA’s HydroGNSS mission launched to ‘scout’ for water
    "
    ".. was launched today, 28 November, marking a significant step in advancing global understanding of water availability and the effects of climate change on Earth’s water cycle."
