I'm a homesteader of sorts who's very collapse and overshoot aware. We're on a one way trip over the cliff.

Here are the daily Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomalies (1991-2020 baseline), from 1982 to present. The latest data from July 31th shows an anomaly just under 2.5°C. It's already the 4th warmest El Nino on record with 3 months of additional heating ahead.

UK? Canada? Mars????? When posting such things it's important to specify the location and very helpful to give an accurate estimate of how widespread the failures are. This post is amateur hour. Anyone have helpful information to go with this?

This is supposed to be corn, it should be about 8 foot tall and growing corn but there’s absolutely nothing on it, complete crop failure by the looks of things. Farmers are going to severely struggle this year.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "I don't think we're yet evolved to the point where we're clever enough to handle as complex a situation as climate change. The inertia of humans is so huge that you can't really do anything meaningful." www.theguardian.com/science/2010...

James Lovelock: Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change

In his first in-depth interview since the theft of UEA emails, the scientist blames inertia and democracy for lack of action

Unfortunately, and as anticipated, yesterday's widespread lightning-following-heat event amid severe drought has sparked a large number of additional wildfires, expanding existing outbreak across OR, WA, & BC. Numerous heat signatures & large smoke plumes are evident. #ORwx #WAwx

Current snapshot from NOAA Wildfire Fire Portal showing dozens of large, active fires (heat signatures and smoke plumes) from Oregon into southern British Columbia

'Record-breaking heatwaves meant the hot atmosphere strongly evaporated water from rivers, lakes, soils and plants – conditions made 80 times more likely by global heating in western Europe and 40 times more likely in eastern Europe, the study showed.' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Climate crisis-driven heat ‘sucking soils dry’ as extreme drought hits Europe

Analysis shows how heatwaves are making atmosphere thirstier, damaging water supplies, food production and power generation

Another lightning outbreak now ongoing in PacNW (TS Elida's remants), & this time fuels are considerably drier west of Cascades following recent heat. Numerous additional wildfire ignitions are likely across much of OR/WA over next 48 hr, worsening existing outbreak. #ORwx #WAwx

While these t-storms were not generally dry (associated with brief showers), dry strikes outside of rain cores were common, and even where it rained, antecedent severe drought (following warmest winter & lowest snowpack on record) makes lightning ignitions probable. #WAwx #ORwx

Current Drought Monitor Map for Western U.S. Nearly all of eastern Washington and Oregon are depicted as having "moderate" to "extreme" drought.

Wildfires have exploded in northern Minnesota and Ontario in the last 24 hours, producing thick smoke plumes and even some pyrocumulonimbus clouds. The smoke has drifted across eastern Canada and the northeastern U.S., creating hazy skies over those regions today.
