For those keeping score: 20 Xs faster than at the end of the last ice age. 🎯
Earth is now warming faster than at any point in recorded geological history - around 10 times faster than the extreme warming event 56 million years ago and 20 times faster than at the end of the last ice age. We are almost certainly in a new extinction event.
HISTORIC ARCTIC HEAT Weeks and weeks with 35C in Russian Arctic HUNDREDS of records are being smashed systematically every day for weeks. August started breaking records in a huge area at winter cold poles like 33.9C Selagoncy,33.2C Yarol In etc. Hot air mass is moving East
ℹPřed studenou frontou na naše území proudí mimořádně teplý vzduch od jihu. 🌡️Už v dopoledních hodinách se teploty dostávaly vysoko nad 30 °C. Během odpoledních hodin teploty ještě výrazně stoupaly a zastavily se blízko 40 °C a nejvýše na stanici […] [Original post on zpravobot.news]

‼️HOTTEST JULY DAY IN HISTORY OF AUSTRIA 40.3C Wieselburg 71 JULY RECORDS DESTROYED ,most of which are ALL TIME RECORDS (list will be available on my website asap) Hundreds of records already allover Europe but this is nothing to what s coming next week: Records EVERYWHERE.
Und ein weiterer historisch heißer Tag in Österreich.
In #Texas, lawmakers are considering repealing a decade-old sales tax exemption for data centers. Data centers are so highly capital-intensive that they are unable to justify employment of even 20 people on a permanent basis. #wowwwwwww
EUROPEAN HEAT WAVE -Germany Hundreds of records again with the heat moving East: Insanity in Austria which is in the midst of its worst heat wave in history (will last one more week). Germany today cooled a bit but few records were broken: See map and data Kudos:Michael Theusner
"The retreat on climate action is global, but Europe – previously seen as a leader in emissions reductions – is in the vanguard, weakening measures... including in the areas of carbon pricing, methane emissions & the phasing out of petrol & diesel vehicles."
Wildfires are raging – and the world has junked 45 climate pledges. Disaster looms, and little wonder | Bill McGuire
Five years ago, I wrote an open letter asking climate scientists to speak out. Now governments are in retreat, it is surely time to act, says climate professor Bill McGuire

The more you know ... Assuming accelerated warming, Earth passed through the Paris limit of 1.5°C over the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline earlier this year.
2026 could break records for heat-associated deaths, warns the @ukhsa.bsky.social in its estimates for heat-related mortality in May and June. This follows estimates published by the Grantham Institute, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the UK Met Office 🧵 buff.ly/MGR5KYI

UKHSA estimates 2,877 fatalities during heatwaves in May and June, almost twice that recorded in 2025 season

Earth breaches the #Paris limit of 1.5C above the pre-industrial baseline EARLIER THIS YEAR, in 2026. Caps required, sorry.

EXTRAORDINARY ARCTIC HEAT 36C Hundreds of records pulverized allover Russia. We are witnessing an event which is completely rewriting world climatic history MUCH WORSE next days with nearly 40C in Upper Siberia: Hundreds of records will be smashed with absurde margins
HISTORIC day on Saturday at Rapid City ,South Dakota. The exceptional max. of 112F/44.4C in The Airport is a new all time record. All time record was in the downtown station. Several stations in SD,NE,CO and WY came close to their records. More to come...
‼️EXTRAORDINARY HISTORIC HEAT WAVES Dozens of thousands of records are being pulverized in >220 countries and territories allover the world in all Continents. There have never been anything close to what we are seeing now. Wait for MANY tweets coming in the next hours.
Data centers are now hated as much as nuclear power plants. Transcendence, 2014 film, pic.

Drought in Europe: Extreme heat evaporating continent’s water supplies Record-breaking summer heat is supercharging drought across Europe, baking soils and evaporating water supplies, according to new research by @wwattribution.bsky.social 🧵 buff.ly/5iN0MR2
While it's raining outside with an Air Quality Index still near 200, I can't help but recognize how many different extremes we've experienced just in my backyard this July. Here are some of those headlines across central Pennsylvania... drought to record heat to severe storms to wildfire smoke.
We are going where no man has every gone before. Our home planet will be unrecognizable in 100 years.
