  1. Setting our world on fire as we stagger towards the flames.

    * "This is not a natural calamity: it is being done to us knowingly."
    Tim Winton

    "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. In both hemispheres, wildfires rage right into our cities and incinerate entire neighbourhoods. Marine heatwaves are bleaching corals and cooking seagrasses on a global scale. This northern summer has brought temperatures most Europeans associate with the Australian desert. Heat events in Europe have paralysed whole countries, destroyed infrastructure and killed citizens in their thousands."

    "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." >>

    * Our habituation to horror and violence: Paul Virilio's concept of the "integral accident" refers to a global, systemic catastrophe triggered by instantaneous telecommunications and hyperconnected technologies, rather than a localized mechanical failure. >>

  2. "Adapting to climate change will be increasingly challenging as the weather worsens each year, Asia’s top climate scientist said in a wide-ranging interview."

    Prof. from Hong Kong’s City University also warned of “humanitarian disasters” as the world’s climate becomes more unstable and unpredictable"

  3. Radiation trends conduct to revising climate predictions upward.

    "Recent data of the amount of heat energy trapped within the Earth system—the energy imbalance—indicates that Earth may actually be warming faster, aligned with models that forecast higher temperatures."

    "Our findings indicate that it becomes increasingly difficult to exclude models with strong future warming."

    Gyuleva, G., Fischer, E., Knutti, R., & Sippel, S. (2026). "Recent temperature and energy imbalance trends point to higher estimates of future warming" doi.org/10.1029/2026EF008356

  4. theguardian.com/environment/20. The #Unite Union really ought to join the dots, as we're NOT talking #rocket #science, here, but #climate science! On the one hand, they're complaining about their #members suffering the #effects of #heatwaves - rightly so - but, on the other, they want more #oil & #gas #drilling in the #NorthSea! What the F**K do they think causes #globalheating?! You extract #fossilfuels, you burn them, that puts more #CO2 in the #atmosphere.

  5. theguardian.com/world/2026/aug; onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10 (open access). "The increase in #hot, #dry & #windy #weather that leads to small #fires turning into raging #infernos is to engulf more of #Europe as #carbon #pollution pushes #temperatures higher. In the worst-case #scenario the #researchers modelled, which would see #globalheating reach 3.6C above #preindustrial levels, the burnt area would almost triple."

  6. "Ice shelves provide a key source of stability to the Antarctic Ice Sheet by buttressing the flow of grounded ice. As ice shelves weaken and collapse due to rising temperatures, the glaciers buttressed by them speed up, increasing Antarctica’s contribution to sea level rise. Pine Island Glacier is the fastest flowing glacier in Antarctica and the ice shelf that buttresses it has undergone significant change in the last decade, resulting in a 20% increase in ice velocity. We compare observations to models to better understand the processes contributing to buttressing loss and conclude the Pine Island Ice Shelf has lost significant buttressing as the margins have deteriorated, destabilizing the grounding line and accelerating mass loss from West Antarctica."

  7. Climate change is driving unprecedented European ocean temperatures, with severe impacts for marine life

    July 2026 has been the month with the world’s seas hitting their hottest surface temperature on record (The Guardian, 2026). Record high sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were measured in the Atlantic along the European coast and in the Western Mediterranean (Copernicus, 2026), and SSTs were as much as 6°C hotter than normal in the Mediterranean in June (European Union, 2026).

  8. Activities force climate shifts, which in turn disable life.
    Some mitigation could be envisaged:
    "Maintaining functioning ecosystems in a hotter world will require mass-scale assisted colonisation, so appropriate conservation policy, legislative frameworks and regulating bodies must be urgently developed."

  9. WEST ASIA HEAT WAVE
    Another extremely hot day with temperatures up to 51.2C at Omidieh,IRAN
    Records of August Highest MINIMUMS again:
    38.0C Kuwait City
    35.5C Abadan, IRAN

    More records tomorrow !
