Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

Human-induced climate change made the extreme fire weather that fuelled the recent destructive wildfires at least twice as likely in France and at least 20 times more likely in Spain, according to our new study.

🌍 Zonder klimaatverandering zou deze extreme hitte in Europa vijftig jaar geleden vrijwel onmogelijk zijn geweest. Ook extreem warme nachten komen nu ongeveer 100 keer vaker voor dan tijdens de hittegolf van 2003. Dat blijkt uit een nieuwe klimaatattributiestudie: www.knmi.nl/kennis-en-da...

Paris, the capital of France, has recorded more days above 40°C this week than during the 147-year period spanning from 1872 to 2019. Historic is an understatement.

We have just witnessed France’s hottest day in recorded history. The severity of this heatwave is truly hard to comprehend. Over 50 millions people will be under red-level extreme heat warnings tomorrow. Sadly, what’s going on there is a foreshadowing of our future. Data: DWD/Météo France

While we cook in Europe, it's worth remembering that this isn't just a European story. Across the Arctic and other high-latitude regions, temperature anomalies are reaching extraordinary levels, with some areas forecast to be >10–20°C above historical averages. The climate signal is global.

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

On my way to Paris, in the midst of the heatwave, not looking forward to two days in a scorching city 🥵 (currently at 40 degrees). 🔥 Heat waves like this are becoming more and more likely due to climate change. I fear the record for the warmest day broken yesterday won't stand long.

France is experiencing scorching heat, with most of the population exposed to extreme temperatures. The heat is expected to last until at least the end of the week. n.pr/43Sebxt

Much of Europe is sweating in an exceptional heat wave. Heat in Europe has increased 4 times more than in other mid-latitude areas, which has been linked to the Atlantic #coldblob in several studies. #AMOC Slide from a talk I'm about the present at London Climate Action Week #LCAW2026. 1/

🥰 📣 BREAKING NEWS 📣 France has announced a climate roadmap that aims explicitly to phase out coal by 2030, oil by 2045, and "gas for energy purposes" by 2050!! This is a historic moment, the first time a major economy has pledged *specifically* to phase out fossil fuels. 🙌 💚

In a new Nature study, we show that extreme global climate outcomes may occur even under moderate 2°C warming for several sectors. The findings reinforce the urgency of limiting warming well below 2°C. Together with @erichfischer.bsky.social @janasillmann.bsky.social @zscheischlerjak.bsky.social

Moderate global warming does not rule out extreme global climate outcomes - Nature

Extreme global climate outcomes may occur even under moderate 2 °C warming and may turn out to be more extreme than model-averaged projections at 3 °C or 4 °C warming.

Today we have published new analysis building on the Committee's advice on the UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget. Our conclusions about the cost of decarbonising the UK and impacts on energy security were tested against different scenarios ⬇️ Read the full report here: www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden. The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite. The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.
