Not providing existing air defense missiles to #Ukraine, where they are urgently needed to defend against Russian AND North Korean ballistic missiles that continue to kill civilians night after night, should spark more public outrage than it currently does. #AirDefense #UkraineUnderAttack

the 1930s were hot over the U.S. Midwest, but not that hot

Japan has now joined Horizon Europe. Japan’s researchers can now partner with teams across the EU. Together, we will advance global research in health, digital technologies, and climate neutrality ↓ link.europa.eu/YP7MtB

#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...

The devastating wildfires unfolding in France and Spain are a stark reminder of the growing challenges Europe faces each summer. EU-funded research is supporting better wildfire prevention, preparedness and monitoring. @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu #SciComm 🧪

“We’re seeing these intense fires and unpredictable behaviours. It definitely feels like an important topic to be researching.” go.nature.com/4yKEdAX

The scale of these wildfires is staggering. New Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery from 26 July shows the devastation west of Bordeaux, France. The blackened burn scar now covers an area estimated to be ~4x the size of Paris, while infrared data highlights fires that continue to burn.

#Wildfire season is #Disinformation season! 🔥💬 I debunked very common but misleading arguments designed to deny any impact of #ClimateChange. Every year they keep coming back - with catastrophic fires near #Bordeaux and #Madrid, this year is no different. 1/6 volksverpetzer.de/analyse/wald...

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

1/Southern Europe is burning — 20,000+ evacuated in France, fires across Spain, Portugal & Greece, temps near 45°C. Last summer I wrote that we're now, quite literally, "at war" with wildfires. Are our militaries prepared? The question's only gotten sharper 🧵

It's like dusk in Albany right now with a very thick layer of smoke blocking out the sun and an orange tint to the sky. Approaching the same feel as June 2023. Smells like campfire outside.

Why is AC so rare in much of Europe? Well, until recently it simply wasn't hot enough to need it. Here is the average number of days above 30C (86F) for major cities over time:

Wildfires rage across southern Europe, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes. Hundreds of firefighters are battling blazes that have devastated more than 19,000 hectares across France, Spain, Portugal and Greece u.afp.com/SKdr

What happens if you lock #paleofire researchers and fire #managers in a room for 3 days and have them discuss synergies? While no one was actually locked in, this recent workshop at @csicaragon.bsky.social highlighted why such #transdisciplinary exchanges matter: palaeopen.github.io/outreach/mee...

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

For the first time in history, the #Netherlands announced the highest warning level - Code Red - due to extreme #heat for today! University remains mostly closed, ironically limiting access to climatized work spaces. We seem ill-prepared for what's to come! 📈

Now in summer, we can confirm that a large part of the beech (Fagus sylvatica) forests that burned in low‑intensity understory fires have died. This constitutes a clear case of a low‑intensity, high‑severity fire (I had expected bsky.app/profile/jgpa...) 🧪🌍🔥🌳🍁🪴 wildfires Picos de Europa, N Spain
