Wow, the article starts off straight away by highlighting the already - crystal clear - dead end we find ourselves in. With energy efficiency measures and conventional materials alone, it blows the budget (with it, our climate). Note that in the SMART pathway, new con fades out & reno takes over.

Als Info: Klimaschutz & Klimaanpassung sind beide unverzichtbar – deshalb sollten beide im Klimagesetz verankert sein. Ohne Klimaschutz stoßen wir an die Grenzen unserer Anpassungsfähigkeit. Ohne Klimaanpassung sind wir auf die Folgen des bereits veränderten Klimas nicht ausreichend vorbereitet.

NEW: @katemac.bsky.social & I: "Heat waves tend to attract less attention than the charismatic megafauna of climate disasters—floods, storms, wildfires—in part because they cause less property damage & thus less obviously financially costly" phenomenalworld.org/analysis/glo... Graphic @TheEconomist

The single issue NOT being talked about ENOUGH at the @le-tourdefrance.bsky.social = the HEAT... more challenging than the climbs & front of mind for every team & rider. Starting stages earlier in the day not even being considered. Why? 👉💰 cc @davidho.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com

Alle reden über die Hitze, aber niemand über den Klimaschutz! Die aktuelle Hitzewelle würde es ohne den Klimawandel nicht geben. Während Forderungen nach mehr Anpassung laut werden, spielt Klimaschutz in der Debatte kaum eine Rolle. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Must read piece in @theguardian.com The real question today is not whether growth continues, but what kind of economies we are building, who they serve and whether they allow everyone to live in dignity within planetary boundaries.

Der Bevölkerungsschutztag 2026 wird zum Schutz der Bevölkerung abgesagt. Was für eine Ironie. Und die Politik? Schweigt laut. :| Die Absage ist natürlich sinnvoll. Aber was CDU/CSU und SPD auch da weiterhin erlauben mit Frau Reiche und ihren Komplizen... 🔥

Indeed. But the industrial carbon capture schemes have been wildly unsuccessful — and have maybe even helped delay more effective forms of climate action. A ton prevented today is a ton you don’t need to try — and probably fail — to remove tomorrow.

I especially love this diagram.

France is experiencing another day of scorching heat, with most of the population exposed to extreme temperatures.

Was machen Menschen mit Kleinkindern und Babys, die in engen Wohnungen leben? Was machen alte Leute, die im Neubau wohnen südseitig? Was machen chronisch Kranke? Es braucht einen echten Aktionsplan für Menschen, die durch die Hitze gefährdet sind. Nicht „sollen sie halt ins Bad gehen“.

Das ist einfach nicht mehr zu schaffen. 40 Grad.

this is what is insane abt this case and these sentences. this isn't a sandwich throw. real violence happened here. a cop got shot. but by framing the protest as a conspiracy people who literally were uninvolved in the violence got de facto life sentences

Josh Kovensky@joshkovensky.bsky.social · last mo.

Two defendants who received 50 years each, Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, were never accused of helping plan the demonstration here. They arrived separately, left the protest when guards asked them to, and were not accused of any act of violence talkingpointsmemo.com/news/prairie...

the world falling apart sucks real bad, but it's amazing that New York somehow slipped into an Disney Channel Original Movie alternate reality where our problems are fixed by Mayor Socialism and the Power of Friendship wins basketball championships.

This is one of the most important benefit of the carbon budget framing, because it naturally leads to a discussion of equity and historical responsibility. Allocation is an explicitly political process, and the budget makes these choices explicit.

Fresh off the press! 📄We find that crop fields and semi-natural grasslands support complementary #biodiversity across #Europe. Semi-natural habitats alone are insufficient to ensure farmland biodiversity - biodiversity-friendly management of crop fields is essential. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The retirement of RCP8.5 — former worst-case climate scenario has been in the news recently, and I’ve seen a lot of good explainers about this very misunderstood modeling tool. But an angle I think has been missing: the former best-case scenario is also out. My story: www.eenews.net/articles/the...

The worst-case climate scenario is gone. The catch? The best case is, too.

Inside the demise of a 15-year-old modeling scenario built off the worst possibilities scientists could imagine.

"We are in extreme danger," says climate scientist Peter Kalmus @climatehuman.bsky.social. He warns that this summer "could be the hottest summer we've ever experienced in our lives, but it could also be the coolest summer for the rest of our lives."

🚨Out today in @nature.com our new paper uses deep learning to map four decades of global human migration. By building the first comprehensive, four-decade dataset of annual flows (1990-2023), we reveal that global migration has nearly tripled since 2000. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
