People can see with their own eyes how dire the situation has got for nature, for farmers, for people who usually play sports on grass.
#ClimateChange is not something that is happening elsewhere. It’s in the UK.
It’s not something that is happening to our grandchildren. It’s happening now.
It’s the hockey stick we were all warned about.
We need #ClimateAdaptation plans activated now…but oops, looks like those successive PMs of the last decade were asleep on the job.
#Burnham wake up.

SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: How Europe Can Prevent a Repeat of This Year's Devastating Wildfires
Source: Science
A wave of wildfires across Southern Europe has so far this year burned more than half a million hectares—an area equivalent to Grand Canyon National Park—far exceeding the area burned by August 2025, the worst year on record. Indeed, since the 1980s, the number of "fire weather" days—scorching, dry, breezy days—has more than doubled across much of the region, exacerbated by climate change. What, then, can be done to avoid more years like 2026?

Everybody can play their part, but it’s ridiculous to ignore that the overwhelming difference that can be made right now to how severe #ClimateBreakdown will be is how the mega polluters and ultra elite are regulated and taxed by governments.
What has already been done in terms of historic emissions we can’t escape from, we need #ClimateAdaptation plans implemented yesterday.

Ok, so with all the solar eclipse excitement yesterday did I miss anything about the outcome of the #Cobra meeting?
Is #Burnham still only saying he ‘might’ ban disposable BBQs?
Nothing else on #ClimateAdaptation , funding to reduce #ExcessHeat in homes, schools, hospitals, workplaces or how the government can best support our wildly over stretched emergency services during #Heatwaves ?

#ClimateMitigation: stop making it worse
#ClimateAdaptation: create resilience against the badness we've already got (and have coming).
When your #Adaptation spend is ~1% of your Making-It-All-Worse spend you're in the business of buying band-aids. Small ones. For severe, gaping, gushing wounds.

📰 NC Communities Are Testing Nature-based Defenses Against Coastal Erosion
🌊 North Carolina: Scientists studying the state's barrier islands say stronger storms, rising seas, and persistent wave action are increasing risks to both oceanfront beaches and marsh shorelines.
🏖️ Researchers are using computer models to understand how waves, tides, and future storm conditions may reshape coastlines and to evaluate which protection strategies can best reduce erosion.
🦪 One promising approach is the use of "living shorelines" that combine marsh vegetation, oyster growth, and low-profile structures made from rock, wood, or other materials to absorb wave energy and trap sediment.
🌱 Rather than relying on a single solution, coastal experts emphasize layered strategies that blend natural and engineered protections to help communities adapt while preserving ecosystems and public access to beaches.

Elegant simplicity.
"Roof watering is a novel strategy for reducing air conditioning energy consumption and mitigating excess urban heat, yet its application is often constrained by water availability. To address this challenge, we propose an adaptation strategy that integrates rainwater harvesting tank with roof sprinkling to strengthen urban heat resilience. We develop a new module implemented in the Community Land Model Urban (CLMU) to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed strategy, whose parameters were further determined by a framework using multi-objective optimization combined with a transformer-based tabular foundation model. This integrated modeling framework enables the optimization of the proposed strategy and provides insights into its impacts on air conditioning energy consumption and its co-benefits on the urban thermal environment. Results show that the temperature threshold for triggering sprinkling is a more important parameter than rainwater tank size or sprinkling intensity. The optimal strategies effectively reduce cooling energy demand, lower extreme temperatures, and decrease heatwave days."

Flood And Landslide Susceptibility Assessment And Multi Hazard Interaction Mapping Using Machine Learning And GIS For Sustainable Settlement Planning In Nepal

H/T @Narayan Thapa | Earth Data Modeling
“Nepal lies within an active seismic zone and is influenced by most dynamic climatic systems in the world. It faces compounding floods and landslide threats. Impacts are worst where multi-hazard interactions create spatially linked corridors. Despite frequent co-occurrence, national-scale assessments remain limited. This study presents machine learning and GIS-based approach to map nationwide susceptibility to floods, landslides, and identify their potential interaction zones, and delineate critical multi-hazard flow zones through spatial adjacency analysis. Using Google Earth Engine, the Random Forest model integrates topographic, climatic, environmental, and hydrological datasets to overcome subjective expert-driven methods. The model achieved strong predictive accuracy (AUC: 0.84 for floods, 0.85 for landslides). The results showed 19% of Nepal’s lowlands are medium to very highly susceptible to inundation, threatening approximately 900,000 people and over 3.4 million buildings; whilst in the hilly terrains, 40% is susceptible to slope-failure endangering 200,000 people and about 0.6 million buildings. K-means clustering followed by spatial adjacency analysis identified four spatial zonation: 81% of national area as low-hazard zone, 9% as flood-only zone, 5% as landslide-only zone, and 5% as interaction zones. Critical multi-hazard flow zone covering 7,588 km² represents spatially connected corridors linking interaction zones to downstream flood-prone populated areas, affecting 88 km² built-up land and 1,722 km² cropland. These zones represent susceptibility-based spatial connectivity rather than physically simulated cascading processes. These findings support recommendations for risk-informed land-use planning, resilient infrastructure development and climate adaptation aligned to sustainable development and investment risk screening…”

Here you go! It's the use of pots to add moisture to the roots of plants, especially in desert environments!
University of Arizona:
"...What is olla irrigation?
Olla (pronounced oy-ya) is Spanish for clay pot. Olla irrigation is a conservation irrigation system, which may save between 60 – 70% of water when compared to the conventional watering-can irrigation system (Ezekiel et. al., 2017). Curtis Smith, New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Horticulture Specialist says the technology is equal to or slightly superior
to drip irrigation depending on how drip irrigation is used because the water from the olla goes straight to the plant and
no water is lost. Conquistadors brought the olla system to the American
Southwest, and it was widely used by Indigenous People and Hispanics (Smith, 2005). The technique all but disappeared
with the introduction of modern irrigation systems but may be making a comeback due to their simplicity – both in form
and function..."https://extension.arizona.edu/sites/extension.arizona.edu/files/pubs/az1911-2021.pdf

In the age of AI, it feels strange to go back to blogging. But I feel more satisfaction with the old-fashion look than with an AI-powered polished blog, which content is not genuine about what humans actually experience, but only spit out by a next-word-predicting machine.

How to help your garden withstand #ClimateChange
#HealthySoils and diverse, perennial plants can help your garden beds survive #ExtremeWeather like #floods and #droughts.
March 13, 2026
"The days are getting longer, and spring is around the corner. For many home gardeners, it’s a time of hope and anticipation.
"So it’s the perfect time to plan how to help your flower beds thrive as climate change brings more extreme and unpredictable weather.
"Marsden: 'Flooding, droughts, heat, cold, all the extreme weather we’re seeing is going to impact plants.'
"That’s Christy Marsden of the University of Minnesota #ClimateAdaptation Partnership.
"She says one of the most important things you can do is get your soil tested and then take steps to improve your soil health – for example, by adding #compost. Healthier soil retains more water during droughts, and it’s less likely to erode during heavy storms.
"Marsden also suggests growing a wider mix of flowers than you might have grown before, with varieties that thrive in a range of conditions.
"And she recommends relying more on perennial plants, which come back every year, and less on annuals.
Marsden: “Perennials are more able to withstand some of those extremes because they have deeper roots. They’re more established.”
"So while climate change is a challenge, she says by being flexible and trying new things, you can still grow a beautiful garden in a warming world."
