🌡️ Another day with stations in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 measuring over >35°C yesterday, and potentially one more today. Summer on steroids.
Daan van den Broek@daanvandenbroek.com · 7d agoAnother day with temperatures >35°C in the Netherlands' south yesterday. All land stations except Den Helder and the Frisian Islands measured temperatures >30°C.

Sabato caldo meno estremo anche anche al centro, possibili temporali nel pomeriggio su Alpi e zone appenniniche. Per adesso ci fermiamo qui, ma la tendenza, ad oggi, pare portarci verso un nuovo aumento delle temperature a partire dal 10, ma in un contesto di spiccata instabilità pomeridiana.

The speed of #climate change has accelerated dramatically in the last decade, from 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015 to 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years. And politicians still fiddle while we burn. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming
Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C p...

⚒️ 🧪 A M4.7 earthquake at Campi Flegrei volcano caused injuries and rockfalls yesterday. The quake is part of an ongoing seismic swarm and inflation. Should we be worried about unrest at this large, hazardous volcano?

Siccità in Europa. La mappa, elaborata dall’European Drought Observatory, riassume lo stato della siccità in Europa combinando diversi indicatori. Si tratta della settimana del 11-20 luglio e mostra numerose aree del continente interessate da condizioni di grave siccità (arancione/rosso). 1/4

Roma dovrebbe aiutare Madrid in questa crisi e non sfruttare la situazione per fare propaganda. Anche perché l’immigrazione clandestina è un problema che le destre non sanno e soprattutto non vogliono risolvere, in quanto formidabile fonte di consenso elettorale.
Climate change is rendering Europe more flammable, vastly increasing the odds of the tinderbox conditions that fueled this week’s megafires in France and Spain, researchers say.
Climate change made Spanish wildfires 20 times more likely
Global warming also doubled the likelihood of this year’s tinderbox conditions in France, says snap scientific analysis.

Fluid flow in Earth's crust is not only controlled by fractures—it can be reorganized by the stress field itself. New #Geology research uses a novel approach to measure the 3D permeability of basalt under independently controlled principal stresses: geosociety.co/Stanton-Yonge_et_al Image: Fig 4
Pretending research should be working like a company, sink it, cut the budgets. Repeat. All this highlights the fascist regressions we are going through in the western societies. This is a widespread trend and it will kill all of us.

Decided that I needed to share a scientific heart to heart today as part of my newsletter: Warmer planet=warmer oceans=higher rainfall rates & warmer minimum temperatures We understand this quite well - and the impacts all of this is having on our society are growing. tinyurl.com/5n7cvzb3

Temporali. Qualche episodio temporalesco potrà interessare le Alpi e, inizialmente, parte della Sicilia. I paurosi incendi di questi giorni che stanno divorando decine di migliaia di ettari in tutta Europa (245.400 al 22 luglio, a un passo dal record del 2025) e le diffuse condizioni di siccità…

C’è davvero da chiedersi cos’altro deve succedere affinché chi ci amministra si svegli una buona volta e metta in atto ciò che disperatamente chiediamo da 40 anni.
Una politica che alza la testa dalla sabbia soltanto dopo le catastrofi, per poi rimetterla nella buca quando si tratta di applicare piani di adattamento e mitigazione. Una politica che troppo spesso, per convenienza, strizza l’occhio al negazionismo climatico, alla disinformazione scientifica…
Cos’altro deve succedere? Nei primi sette mesi del 2026 l’Europa ha registrato eventi meteorologici estremi di ogni genere: ondate di calore senza precedenti, superiori addirittura al 2003; anomalie di temperatura record sia dell’aria che marine; incendi incontrollabili; 1/6
