Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
Der Rhein führt so wenig Wasser wie noch nie seit man Pegel misst. Zermatt hat sein Sommerskigebiet geschlossen. Zu ersten Mal überhaupt seit man es in den 70er Jahren gebaut hat. Zu wenig Schnee auf 4000 Metern. Und in Berlin werden es mal wieder 35 Grad. Und die Bundesregierung sagt nix dazu....
This (from the @wsj.com Editorial Board) distills every denialist trope there is: It implies climate change isn’t exacerbating extreme weather. It calls solutions “costly … nostrums.” It fosters doomerism. And it suggests we can just adapt to or “manage” climate impacts. How is this journalism?
🧵Right-leaning newspapers are trying to blame Europe's raging wildfires on everything EXCEPT fossil fuels 1. The Wall Street Journal Frontpage story: "Greece fights wildfires as Europe crisis spreads" WSJ editorial: "How green policies fuel fires in Europe"
Fascinating about possible bias in peer review.
Angela Andersen@angelaandersen.bsky.social · 4d agoKudos to @science.org for this self-analysis of the peer review process. These kind of data are never shared and don't have to be. Wildly refreshing to see it out in the open. Editorial and peer review dynamics at elite general science journals | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
DWD-Attributionsstudie zum Hitzeereignis im Juni 2026 zeigt: Ein solches Ereignis wäre in einem um 1,3 °C kälteren Klima nicht möglich gewesen. Erwärmt sich das Klima um weitere 0,7 °C auf 2,0 °C, nimmt die Intensität ähnlicher Hitzewellen demnach deutlich zu. 💡 Zur Studie: t1p.de/or6dj

This statement in the @nytimes.com article grossly downplays the data and science: "Far from moderating, *some experts say the pace of warming appears to be accelerating*" Experts who took an honest look at the data acknowledge that global heat uptake has more than doubled! bsky.app/profile/leon...
Leon Simons@leonsimons.com · 5mo agoThe World Meteorological Organization (WMO)'s 'State of the Global Climate 2025' is out today. This shows that the amount of heat stored on Earth isn't "just" increasing or accelerating, but that even the acceleration is accelerating (third-order derivative)! @wmo-global.bsky.social
3. Indeed, LLMs will change the ways that we scientists spend our time. That horse has left the barn. But in this paper, we reach the sobering conclusion that LLMs are not likely to fulfill our fantasies of freeing up more time for leisurely contemplation or more thorough investigations of nature.

Extremely disturbed by this. Just yesterday nearly tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to excite students about writing and not using AI. I hope this is not a trend that spreads elsewhere.

In a first, Germany drew more power from wind and solar than from fossil fuels last year.
In Germany, Wind and Solar Overtake Fossil Fuels
Together, wind and solar generated 44 percent of Germany’s electricity, while fossil fuels generated roughly 43 percent, according to data from the Energy Institute, a think tank based in London. The figures represent a major milestone for the German “Energiewende,” or “energy turnaround,” a national push to ramp up renewable energy and phase out gas, coal, and nuclear power.

Over 300,000 people. Is this the largest number of people displaced in Europe - evacuated or forced to flee - by #wildfires at any one time? Genuine question.
