The report #OilCompanies are worried about: #ClimateAttribution science
New report says our ability to tie weather damages to #ClimateChange is improving.
John Timmer – Jul 17, 2026
Excerpt: "Climate change is being driven largely by the greenhouse gases we’ve pumped into the atmosphere, which trap more of the Sun’s energy there. That added energy increases the odds of extreme events: longer, more intense heat waves and droughts, interspersed with excessive precipitation. But these sorts of events have happened in the past—how can we tell if any given weather disaster has been made more likely by the climate?
"It’s a question with implications for everything from building codes to disaster preparedness. And there’s some good news: According to a report released by the US National Academies of Science on Thursday, the field of climate attribution is growing increasingly mature and can answer some questions for us with far greater confidence than it could just a decade ago. The report also notes that there are still important limits and suggests steps to address them.
"Overall, this makes it clear that climate attribution is normal, mainstream science. And the #FossilFuel industry views that as a problem, as it could make it easier to hold companies liable for damages. This has triggered a backlash that has Republicans in Congress and state governments threatening the National Academies’ funding."

Scientists alarmed after two #wildfires hit #Greenland within a week
Researchers say it is ‘quite wild’ to see fires at such high northern latitudes happen so early in the year
Ajit Niranjan and Miranda Bryant
Tue 23 Jun 2026 06.44 EDT"Scientists have expressed concern after two wildfires broke out within a week of each other on the Arctic island of Greenland earlier this month.
"Fires were burning close to #Sisimiut, Greenland’s second largest town and a popular tourism centre, on 14 and 15 June, satellite imagery has shown, while a second blaze hit #Kujalleq, on the island’s southern tip, on 17 June.
"While most of Greenland, a largely autonomous territory, is covered in vast ice sheets and thick glaciers, a significant part is ice-free and covered in tundra. Wildfires in these areas are rare, but becoming more common.
[...]
"Inunnguaq Eigil Lundblad, the emergency manager for Qeqqata municipality, which includes Sisimiut, said the fires there had broken out after 'someone used fire recklessly. We had not had much snow this winter and then very little rainfall, which is why we have very dry soil.'
"Miki Sikemsen, the emergency manager for #Kujalleq municipality, said the immediate trigger for the fire there was not yet known, but added: 'Weather conditions in the area have been unusually dry this year and we have not experienced any significant rainfall since May, which has left the vegetation very dry and highly flammable.' "

Good thing #climatechange is not real, otherwise the goobers in Gooberstan might be in trouble.
"More than two-thirds of the country is facing unusual dryness or drought, stretching from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast, touching every state except California. The stretch since July has been the driest period nationally since 2012."

That time Just Stop Oil and Greenpeace joined forces with Jeremy Clarkson and Nigel Farage so Landowners could carry on avoiding Inheritance Tax
Get the feeling our 'opposition' is already compromised?

So what Schmidt is saying that we can be hopeful that AI will somehow solve the climate problem before the problem becomes unsolvable. all the while aggravating it as it's developed...

So, we are basically "right on track" regarding the #CimateCrisis, as the #Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (#PIK) had analyzed in its scenarios in December of 2022:
#ClimateBreakdown (as we know it), as all likely-to-be-implemented #climate measures are completely unlikely to limit #GlobalWarming to +1.5°C. If we will manage to limit it to "just" +2.0°C is more unlikely by the month, as warming is probably still *accelerating*!

Spring snow this morning… we never should have crashed the jetstream. Last month it got up to 75°F (24°C).

Some news for those interested in #shipping:
The #cimatecrisis linked droughts across the world have now limited the capacity of the #panamacanal ... a route used because its cheap & efficient for the America's #supplychains.
You're going to see a lot more of this in the next few years... (and off course we've already seen the capacity impact on river shipping in #Germnay - see toot from a couple of weeks ago)

This from the latest Met Office ‘State of the UK Climate’ report:
Now what would be a 'proportionate' response to the ever hotter #weather in the UK?
Well, I think we can be sure that once again delaying action(s) on the #cimatecrisis isn't it.
While currently we're 'fiddling while Rhodes burns' ir won't be long before we're 'fiddling while Richmond burns'!
Inaction now merely hastens along the climate disaster heading down the track towards us!
