Die Gesellschaft ist wie ein Mensch, der aus dem 58. Stock seines Hochhauses springt und unterwegs, nur um sich zu beruhigen, immer wieder denkt: Bis jetzt lief's noch ganz gut! Aber: Entscheidend ist nicht der Sprung, entscheidend ist die Landung.

Das Spannendste in diesen Tagen ist die Frage, wie man das aktuelle Regierungschaos, dieses Roulette der Schande, den Grünen in die Schuhe schieben wird. Alter, wir hätten den souveränen Habeck haben können und haben den Königsclown vom Sauerland gewählt.

It’s now official: June–July 2026 was the most anomalously warm two-month period ever recorded in France by a staggering margin. France is now virtually certain to record its warmest summer on record.

Die #Klimakrise offenbart nicht nur die Gefährlichkeit von Gas und Öl als Energieträger sondern auch die sinnlose Fokussierung auf Kernkraft. Kernkraft und zu warmes und geringes Flusswasser, das zur Kühlung ausfällt, sind unvereinbar. Die einzige Option sind #EE. www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/O...

Osteuropäische Atomkraftwerke versagen in der Hitze

Atomkraftwerke liefern in der Regel rund um die Uhr zuverlässig Strom - auf die ungarischen und rumänischen Reaktoren trifft dies derzeit jedoch nicht mehr zu. Wegen anhaltender Trockenheit und Hitze ...

Here’s a classic piece of climate misinformation. Why it’s wrong: Those data are dominated by the very high carbon *turnover* of ocean & biosphere. This means that while we increase the *amount* of CO2 in the air for millennia, the *individual C atoms* of fossil origin get replaced quite fast.

It is much simpler: We know what we emitted since we know how much fossil fuel has been burned. And that’s twice as much as has accumulated in the atmosphere. So nature hasn’t been a source but a sink: oceans and forests took up half. And that’s also observed fact. www.climate.gov/news-feature...

How do we know the build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is caused by humans?

Fossil fuels are the only source of carbon dioxide large enough to raise atmospheric carbon dioxide amounts so high so quickly.

#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

A study I co-authored in 2023 found ExxonMobil’s predictions of global heating over the following decades to have been mostly accurate, as skilful as independent academic and government models, and also very much at odds with its public statements on the matter. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘We can’t make it better again’: what Europe’s wildfires tell us about the climate crisis

In this week’s newsletter: As France and Spain battle huge fires in this summer of relentless heat, will it be enough to spur us to take action?

"The rising air cools and becomes a cloud, or fire cloud: a turbulent mass that can generate its own winds that worsen fires. If it becomes very large, it can even generate lightning." These clouds are also seen during nuclear explosions and volcanic eruptions. www.france24.com/en/live-news...
