News keep coming on record low-water levels across Europe’s main rivers We desperately need to implement solutions that address the treat that climate change poses to Europe’s waterways, which play so many roles www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Record-Low Danube Disrupts Nuclear Plants, Strands Cruises

The Danube, Europe’s second-longest river, fell to record low levels this week as heat waves scorched large swaths of the continent, adding to a summer of extreme weather that has strained vital water...

Mangroves, vital for protecting coastlines and storing carbon, are making an unexpected comeback due to increased legal protections and public awareness of their importance. Since 2010, the rate of mangrove loss has slowed down, with more forests being restored than destroyed.

Mangrove forests are healing after decades of human destruction

Swampy mangrove forests are staging a surprise comeback - which is good news for coastal communities and the climate.

Wat een prachtessay van @lamyae.bsky.social — hoewel dingen herkenbaar zijn (ongeloof over normalizatie uiterst-rechts, behoefte aan attend), is de belangrijke boodschap (ervaring met allerdaags racisme) mij natuurlijk onbekend en echt pijnlijk is om te lezen. Ik ga haar stem in het @nrc.nl missen

Zaken doen met uiterst rechts is geen punt meer in politiek Den Haag: tijd om te gaan

Politiek: In Den Haag zag Lamyae Aharouay hoe uiterst rechts normaal werd gemaakt door andere partijen. Ze was verbijsterd – maar bleef als journalist gefascineerd. Nu wil ze afstand: niet meer steeds...

Many climate risks have been underestimated by policymakers, report finds Global temperatures accelerating faster than predicted, driven by hidden “sunshine” effect created by air pollution which has offset risk predictions around warming, according to analysis www.forbes.com/sites/jamieh...

Many Climate Risks Have Been Underestimated By Policymakers, Study Finds

The cooling effects of air pollution could mean many policymakers and financial institutions have underestimated climate risks, according to a new analysis.

Seems like time to re-up: There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation in that context. Words have power. They not only describe but shape reality....

There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation in that context. Words have power. They not only describe but shape reality; we take vows – spiritual vows, marital vows, oaths of office, become accountable for our words when we testify under oath in court or in Congress or just make a verbal commitment. Our words shape reality when we tell someone they're worthless or valuable, beautiful or ugly, beloved or unloveable, which is a bit like chanting "I believe that you will win." Or lose. A friend of mine reminded me that the word encourage literally means to instill courage; we can do that or its opposite with how we speak, with what we say, with how we show up. It's not the only work we can do during this emergency, but it's an important part of it. It's a big part of how we express a spirit of defiance, of resoluteness, how we act with the knowledge that emotions and attitudes are contagious, be they fear or courage, strength or weakness, kindness or cruelty. Which is why it makes my head explode – picture this head as a volcano and these words as lava – when people surrender in advance verbally, which they do all the time about politics. There's a lot of "I believe that we will lose" on social media and in the news. One way it shows up is when journalists report on some of the rubbish spewing from the mouth of the geriatric clown/felon we have to call president as though his every utterance had the weight of law, as though words will become actions, as though the actions will succeed, as though they will not be met with opposition, as though they believe he will win.

Why the time has finally come for geothermal energy Drawing heat from deep in the Earth used to be practical only in geyser-filled places such as Iceland. But new approaches may have us on the cusp of an energy revolution www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

It used to be that drawing heat from deep in the Earth was practical only in geyser-filled places such as Iceland. But new approaches may have us on the cusp of an energy revolution.

The rapid approach of the 1.5°C global warming threshold since the Paris Agreement

The rapid approach of the 1.5°C global warming threshold since the Paris Agreement | Copernicus

When the Paris Agreement was signed, in December 2015, the world was projected to reach the 1.5°C threshold by March 2045. Today, on the 8th anniversary of its signature, we risk breaching that benchmark by February 2034, according to data extrapolation based on Copernicus Climate Change Service data.

NL elections: latest polls show tight race between far-right PVV and joint party of Greens/Social Democrats What does the outcome mean for climate & energy? Check out our election package⬇️

Parties split on climate as Dutch head to polls

The country is not on track to reaching its 2030 climate target of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by 55 percent, compared to 1990 levels. Based on the current policy trajectory, there is less than a five percent chance that the country will achieve this reduction, according to The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL).
