We got a new preprint in the wild.
The Miocene was warm; the Miocene had high CO2, so how come the Miocene had huge coral reefs? By dialing in reefs' temperatures and modeling their carbon system, we think we have an answer. -
The rush to power data centers is weakening the Clean Air Act.
New guidance from the EPA takes away one of the most reliable tools for tracking pollution from power plants — and encourages data centers to build their own. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

From #Arizona to #Utah & western #Colorado, #flood watches remained in effect as the threat for heavy #rain will continue Monday.
“ #FlashFlooding will be possible in creeks, normally dry washes, swimming holes, & over recently burned areas. Raging killer currents will be possible in side canyons & narrow slot canyons. Low-water crossings may be flooded,” wrote the National Weather Service in Flagstaff, Arizona.#ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #GrandCanyon #FlashFlood #monsoon #weather

Near the epicenter of this weekend’s #FlashFloods in the #GrandCanyon, 1.24 inches of rain fell in a 3-hour period Saturday, including 0.84 inches in 1 hour.
High intensity rainfall on steep, rocky & #drought affected terrain meant that the water wasn’t absorbed into the ground & mostly ran off into the canyons & creeks below.#ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #FlashFlood #monsoon #weather

A record-breaking #ElNiño & a #marine #heatwave in the #Pacific Ocean have combined to load the atmosphere with moisture, helping fuel the deadly #flooding.
On the backdrop of #ClimateChange, these factors have driven atmospheric moisture levels 5 to 15% higher than average. That has loaded the dice for downpours this summer, such as those that hit the #GrandCanyon Saturday.#ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #FlashFlood #monsoon #weather

These forces drove the deadly #GrandCanyon #FlashFlood
The #Arizona #monsoon is only one part of a bigger #weather story.This weekend’s #FlashFlooding, which has killed at least one person in the Grand Canyon, wasn’t an isolated weather event.
The torrential rain was part of Arizona’s monsoon season, which runs from June 15 through Sept 30.
But the monsoon alone doesn’t tell the whole story.#ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather

A MELTING GLACIER helped trigger the deadly floods in Nepal.
STOP pouring fuel on the fire: no more new oil and gas.
Wealthy polluter governments and fossil fuel companies must PAY for the damage.

Minisode out today! A minisode is a "mini-episode" - we do these once a month, to discuss the outcome of a solarpuk-related question that we pose to our free and paid Patrons each month.
https://shows.acast.com/solarpunk-presents/episodes/july-2026-poll-results-minisode
In this minisode we discuss the results of our July 2026 Patreon poll, all about whether you would move because of climate disasters or if you would stay in your country. To weigh in on these polls, join our Patreon!

#ElNiño-Ereignisse sind in den vergangenen 40 Jahren deutlich stärker ausgefallen als vor der Industrialisierung.
Forschende rekonstruierten anhand von #Korallen aus den #Galápagos-Inseln die Entwicklung über rund 1.000 Jahre.
Die Ergebnisse und #Klimamodelle sprechen dafür, dass die jüngste Verstärkung sehr wahrscheinlich mit der menschengemachten #Erderwärmung zusammenhängt.

A Christian attitude in these precarious times
Today, on ‘From Guestwriters’, we published a reader’s question about the Christian stance in these chaotic times.
In any case, recent months have certainly brought us plenty of issues that could cause concern. In Ukraine, Russia’s inhumane conflict with its southern neighbour continues unabated, whilst the Russian government spares neither person nor property. So we see ‘Gog’ advancing southwards, whilst the rest of the world hears about it, watches, but does very little to prevent this advance.
It was not only Europe that had to contend with a great many natural disasters this summer. There was the severe drought, but this was offset by violent hailstorms and torrential downpours. Many countries were ravaged by storms, landslides and mudslides. Climate change meant we had to experience its dangerous consequences first-hand. Melting glaciers made their power felt and seen with great force.
Those who read the Bible regularly are certainly not surprised by any of these events. The Bible warns us that difficult times are to come, with an increase in natural disasters and more violence amongst people. These days, even minors do not shy away from stabbing others or shooting them dead.
In the face of all these events, we must ask ourselves how we should observe all this and whether or not we should respond. We are convinced that we cannot stand by and watch silently from the sidelines. As followers of Christ, we must live by his teachings and, out of love for our fellow human beings, we are called upon to take active action.
As Christians, we cannot simply stand by and watch all these events unfold. We must not only make our voices heard, but also roll up our sleeves and get stuck in.
As children of God, we can trust that Jehovah is willing to give us gifts to help others. We must therefore make practical use of the gifts we receive from God. It is not only within our own church community that we should allow these spiritual gifts to flourish. We must open ourselves up to God’s gifts in such a way that we may grow in wisdom and spiritual strength. We must understand why God has given us these gifts. It is not so that we should do nothing with them. In the same way, we must have the courage to reach out and speak to people about our faith and our hopes for the future.
The basis for putting these gifts into practice lies in understanding their purpose. They are a manifestation of the qualities with which God is prepared to endow people. They enable us, as believers, to overcome our own uncertainty and fear and to maintain a biblical perspective on the future. In this way, we are offered opportunities to serve God and to help further build up the body of Christ and bring it to maturity.
We must share the gifts we receive through God’s Spirit with others, both within the church community and beyond, with love.
In all expressions of spiritual gifts, priority must be given to love. The apostle Paul explains that even extraordinary gifts — speaking in tongues, prophecy, knowledge and faith — mean nothing without love. We must be aware that spiritual power, separated from love, becomes spiritual arrogance.

The question posed: How should Christians use their spiritual gifts today?

CW: opinion on the flooding in nepal
"[...] the problem is not the absence of a warning system. [...] The system was designed to detect a more gradual rise in water levels. This flood arrived as a massive surge of rock, mud and water, destroying the very instruments meant to detect it. [...]
[#Nepal] should not copy the economic model that created the climate crisis and call it development."
A very broad + well-researched opinion by S. Acharya.
