"The dangerous conditions climate scientists long warned of have become our common, if deeply unwelcome, experience, and season by season, our acquaintance with disorder and extremities deepens."
"There’s nothing accidental or inadvertent about what we’re all suffering through together. We’ve had enough time now and have sufficient expertise to understand that this is not a natural calamity. This is something that is being done to us. Knowingly. Which makes it a crime."

The world inches toward catastrophic climate events: ‘Bigger shocks are on the way’
The risks have been known, and building, for over 150 years
By PETER PRENGAMAN
Updated 9:55 AM EDT, August 24, 2026NEW YORK (AP) — "In the opening scene of American writer #KimStanleyRobinson ’s 'The Ministry for the Future,' a #HeatWave combined with a breakdown of the electrical grid in India kills 20 million people. The devastation causes the world’s nations to unite to combat #ClimateChange .
"Scientists have long warned that the world will experience more intense #ExtremeWeather events like #heatwaves, #storms, #floods and #droughts. But what once seemed like the realm of fiction is now discussed as a possibility, even an inevitability.
"Warning about an 'extreme of extremes' or the 'Other Big One,' a play off the California reference of a big future earthquake, can be fraught. After all, nobody can say for sure when a weather catastrophe may happen. But in the last few years, the planetary ingredients needed for a massive disturbance have been building. And alarm is growing.
'The risk is that people just think you are exaggerating,' said #DanielSwain, a climate scientist with the California Institute for Water Resources. 'It’s the ‘Boy Who Cried Wolf’ problem. Sometimes wolves are real. If it’s outside the door, wouldn’t you want to know?' "https://apnews.com/article/climate-change-disaster-big-one-threat-5b062254250a759483c94376d32ae478

#World's #oceans hit highest temperature on record as #ElNiño grows
Average temp of the planet's seas outside polar regions hit 21.1C (70F) on Saturday, according to figures from European Copernicus #climatechange service.
That edges past 21.09C recorded on three separate days in March 2024, and is far above average for time of year.
Warmer oceans can have wide-reaching consequences, including supercharging #extremeweather, #sealevelrise and harming marine life.

Europe’s silent heat death toll.
It’s not news that it’s hot: this summer, we’ve had five major heatwaves.
Some 80 million people across the continent faced temperatures of 40ºC and higher, often in places unadapted to such temperatures.
Extreme heat killed at least 25 000 people in Western Europe alone, according to a Bloomberg analysis.

#UK - #Rewilded land remains green amid drought-stricken English countryside, images show
Sandra Laville
Fri 21 Aug 2026Excerpt: "Aerial footage of an estate in Somerset has revealed the benefits of #rewilding land in the face of #ExtremeWeather brought about by the climate crisis.
"The area of the #NationalTrust’s #HolnicoteEstate where rivers have been returned to their natural courses and #wetlands have been restored have remained green and lush during the five heatwaves across the summer. In contrast, the surrounding countryside has become parched and brown.
"The two interventions are significant #rewilding projects and provide strong evidence that #NatureBasedSolutions can protect against wildfires. This contradicts claims by some rightwing commentators, who have blamed rewilding for causing #wildfires.
" 'Nature is providing solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing society today,' said Ben Eardley, the project manager at the Holnicote estate. 'For generations as a nation we’ve drained wetlands, straightened rivers and moved water off the land as quickly as possible. Here, we’ve reversed that approach and the results are remarkable.
" 'By reconnecting river systems with the surrounding area and creating natural sponges in the landscape, we’ve created a system that stores water during #drought, keeping wetlands and the surrounding habitats healthy, and slows water during storms and periods of extreme rainfall, helping to protect villages from the risk of flooding downstream.'
"Eardley said the same natural processes that helped wildlife recover were also helping communities adapt to #ClimateBreakdown.
"More than 90% of the UK’s wetlands have been lost over the last century and restoring the habitats to make them wet again is becoming increasingly important for #ClimateAdaptation, #WaterSecurity and #NatureRecovery.
"Harry Bowell, the National Trust’s director of land and nature, called on the government to boost its efforts to invest in nature-based solutions to help the country become more resilient."
