  1. HISTORIC HEAT WAVE IN NORTH AFRICA
    Algeria is living an incredible hot spell with up to 40/43C for weeks and abnormally hot nights.

    Tonight it was exceptional:
    The Minimum of 30.7C at Bord Badj Mokhtar smashed its April record and it's top 3 April hottest nights in North Africa.

  3. “the ocean is already changing, and projected shifts in North Atlantic convection are a real concern. Even if a collapse is unlikely, a major weakening is expected, and that alone could have serious impacts on Europe’s climate in the decades to come. But the future of the Atlantic circulation is still in our hands.”

  5. We handpicked 8 lbs of #NewJersey #blueberries today but we almost weren't able to do it The #clinatechange caused #drought that lasted eight months last year devastated #NJ 's #blueberry crop this year. This is the last weekend of #blueberryseason for #2025 due to this problem. As climate change gets worse, the drought will get longer and longer.

  6. At the same time what's up with the UK?

    "the share of people concerned about climate change has fallen over the past year, dipping from 68% to 60%.

    Support for the UK’s target to hit net zero emissions by 2050 fell even further, plunging from 62% to 46%."

    All this while the southern Europe fries under scorching heat wave and forest fires.

  8. Is #Fox going to recycle their bullshit talking point that the #fires are caused, not by #clinatechange, but because the forests where being raked too often?

    The Empire Is Going Down

    Tom Engelhardt "You might almost imagine that climate change had grasped the withering global power of the United States and decided to act accordingly. In some fashion, we now seem to be on a post-imperial planet in which — if only — the best approach would be: chill, baby, chill." #ClimateCrisis #clinatechange counterpunch.org/2024/10/22/th

    Honestly it feels objectively hopeless given incoherence between thoughts and deeds shared by 8 billion plus.

    I'll offer Facebook as a problem that could be solved by literally not moving our fingers. But with all we know of FB and all the justified disparagement we hurl at this useless thing, we still actively support it and thus FB thrives while harming us by our tacit consent.

    Truly hard problem, such as #ClinateChange?

    That said, giving up would feel more hopeless, I think.

  13. The El Niño event that has helped fuel record warmth during the last 12 months has now ended, and ocean temperatures have gradually cooled since the start of the year.

  15. @wxnb_ (Cause #ClinateChange isn't real 🙄🇮🇹) A critical situation is unfolding in some alpine valleys across northwest Italy, where persistent torrential rainfall associated with severe thunderstorms is now causing life-threatening flash flooding. This is footage from Noasca x.com/wxnb_/status/18071502751

  17. Graham Stuart, the Energy Minister, on #SkyTV saying we need more gas-powered boilers to 'keep the lights on' is nonsense. Today, should there be extra demand, we import energy from continental Europe.

  19. Dr. Cyril Brun­ner from #ETH believes in solution discussion rather than discussing the problems arising from #clinatechange.

    I can see the drive of this believe but I also believe consequences have to be made transparent, including to those who may live far away from where we live.

  20. Even the books about climate change that try imagine a hopeful future still rely on some from-above change. Our only hope at this point is grassroots community building efforts to face the huge challenges ahead.

  22. #LandBack and #rematriation are proving to be highly effective ways to effect long-term Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClinateChange mitigation, in addition to being morally righteous and long overdue.

    "#Western #conservationists have...ignored #Indigenous people’s knowledge of #landscapes and #wildlife...that is no longer tenable...Indigenous-managed lands host 80 percent of the world’s #biodiversity...and...much of the...intact #forests, #savannas and #marshes."

  24. The "everything's terrible" takes are mostly wrong. On almost every measure: health, wealth, education, even deaths from war, the world is doing better than at any time in human history. The last century has seen extraordinary improvements, especially for the poorest.

    There's a big exception: climate change poses an existential threat to humanity.

    We've come so far. Let's not screw it all up now. #clinatechange #climatecrisis #climateemergency

  25. @grammargirl
    They used to think a single flood like this dug the entire Columbia River Gorge

    Now they figure it was about 40 floods, each caused when a glacier melted, freeing up water behind it that was suddenly “13 x the flow of the Amazon River”
    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missou

    None of that millions of years stuff like the Grand Canyon

    The Gorge was blown out in a fraction of that with its explosive flooding

    But if we don’t stop the water rising, nobody will have any high ground

  27. Hmmm..... another #climatecrisis metaphor in the offing, as #BurningMan descends into a muddy 'hellscape' after torrential rain - well, we know #clinatechange is about erratic weather, not just the heat...

    another part of me wants to say there's some karma in a burning man being put out by rain..... but there you go

  30. @memeorandum I'll just keep repeating this until more people understand and begin to behave accordingly: The most immediate #threat to #human #V society and #survival is #ClinateChange and all of the many negative effects it causes.

  31. Food security is not topical in the US/West but it's more prominent in Asia. The farmer base of Asia is in duress as many are small plot farmers. As they age out and are subject to increasingly marginal yields, the societal stability of the world's factory is a bit tenuous. None of this is made better by the large Panda to the North.
