Majoriteten av dessa åtta fossilföretag är europeiska: Shell och BP 🇬🇧, Equinor 🇳🇴, ENI 🇮🇹, Total 🇫🇷. Under Q2 2026 tjänade de omkring 25 miljarder dollar. De behöver ta betalningsansvar för konsekvenserna av sin samhällshotande verksamhet.

Chockerande hög global medeltemperatur i havet nu, drivet av den accelererande klimatuppvärmningen och vad som kan komma att bli den kraftigaste El Niñon någonsin uppmätt. Fler och dödligare värmeböljor, skogsbränder och översvämningar är att vänta så länge vi fortsätter använda fossila bränslen.

#GlobalHeating greatly increases #wildfire risk. That‘s been established scientifically for a long time (see IPCC reports) but has now been shown again for the current fires 🔥 in France and Spain in a new World Weather Attribution study. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

Climate change increases likelihood of compounding drivers of severe wildfire conditions in France and Spain – World Weather Attribution

In recent weeks, there has been a remarkable surge in large, intense, fast-moving, and unfortunately in many cases destructive/deadly wildfires in multiple Northern Hemisphere regions spanning a wide range of climates & ecologies, but they all share one key commonality. [Thread]

Limiting warming to 1.5°C was initially motivated by efforts to protect small island nation states from disastrous sea level rise. It's clear we have greatly underestimated loss and damage to the world's richest nations. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

With all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C). www.theclimatebrink....

Vi befinner oss i en period av extrem värme i haven och vi kan räkna med att det kommer bli ännu värre. Så höga temperaturer ökar risken för orkaner, extrema regnfall, översvämningar, issmältning och havsnivåhöjning – förutom påverkan på havens ekosystem. Läs mer: www.natursidan.se/nyheter/varm...

Statistics like this are genuinely shocking, but so too has been the intensity and duration of this extraordinary heatwave in Europe. As a society, we have greatly underestimated--and therefore underpriced--the cost of highly extreme heat events in a rapidly warming world.

CLIMATE CHANGE ATTRIBUTION: "the first study to directly attribute the changes of a major Antarctic outlet glacier to the activities of humans." More than 1/3 of ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is from Pine Island Glacier, one of the single biggest contributors to global sea level rise.

This is the future Big Oil built for us. Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would drive increasingly severe and frequent heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, but lied to protect their own profits at the expense of public health and safety. The public deserves accountability.

Dangerous, record-smashing heat wave to scorch millions

A prolonged, dangerous heat wave will intensify across most of the central to eastern U.S. this week, the National Weather Service said.

Are we willing to invest just five cents per person per year to maintain one of the world’s most important climate monitoring systems? That provides crucial information about a potentially existential risk for Europe?

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... We are raising the alarm because continuing observations of one of our most important components in the climate system are becoming unsustainable.

Hur många svenska politiker agerar i enlighet med kunskapen att våra handlingar nu får effekter över tusentals år? Om vi fortsätter som idag kommer global temperatur bli +3-4 grader år 3000 och ungefär dubbelt så högt i Sverige. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
