Once in a century huge coastal floods are now happening every ten years as sea levels rise with climate change, reports a new study.

[Hiroshi Yasuda (保田浩志) @Yash25571056]

"The planet [Earth] is heading for climate free fall..
Earth will experience an increasingly erratic climate: more and stronger fluctuations in flows of melt water, ocean circulations and the extent of sea ice.
These changes will lead to more frequent and intense extremes in temperature, precipitation and storms — leading not only to more heatwaves and droughts, but also to more cold spells and floods..
Once a critical temperature threshold for instability is crossed, it takes time for such systems to collapse, but the collapse is inevitable..
Modern economies are adapted to relatively stable climatic baselines.
Agricultural productivity, infrastructure design, insurance pricing and financial risk management all rely not only on expected mean conditions but also on the predictability of variability..
once these factors are no longer predictable, all bets are off — life becomes uninsurable and the world becomes unsafe.
Communities are already feeling the effects of a rise in extreme weather.
And such events might quickly spiral once climate subsystems start to tumble..
If you push the climate system past a tipping point, it does not stabilize.
Its parts will tumble like falling pieces of china, even if the cabinet they are in hasn’t toppled yet."

This issue is urgent, isn't it?

🌋 Think a quiet volcano is a safe volcano? Think again.

So-called “dormant” volcanoes often erupt with little warning, catching communities and authorities off guard.

But all volcanoes send warning signals — we need to listen, invest, and act.

Today the Met Office says 2025 was the warmest year in the UK since 1884 when records began. Yet Ed Miliband is dismissed as a crazed zealot because he acts to change this. Are we all mad? Check out the report yourself. State of the UK Climate in 2025. https://t.co/1t0q0Ixnuk

It is hard to believe that this is Manchester this evening. 👀

A city of 600,000 people (2.5 million in the metro) up in northern England… absolutely blanketed in wildfire smoke. 🔥

Even if you’re not convinced about climate change, this should still concern you.
More than 200,000 lives lost to extreme heat in Europe since 2022 is not a statistic to ignore, it’s a call to act.

The good news? We already know many of the solutions:
1. Protect and restore forests.
2. Plant more trees.
3. Accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.

Collective action saves lives.

[Geoffrey Lean @GeoffreyLean]

Truly shameful. Analysis of nearly 2500 reports in the UKs nine main daily media outlets found that almost three quarters of them omitted any mention of climate change, and only one in 20 referred to net zero.

In 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in 🇭🇹 Haiti killed 222,000 people and left millions homeless.

But in 2012 just two people died when a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit 🇨🇷 Costa Rica.

Why?

Nuclear climate casualty. This problem will ramp.

France's main energy provider on Sunday said that three nuclear reactors have been temporarily shut down, while eight others are operating at reduced power. The measure is an environmental protection requirement to avoid discharging too much hot water into rivers already warming from the heatwave.

The 28 most populous U.S. cities are all affected by land subsidence to some degree, according to to Columbia Climate School research using AI-modelling. Massive ongoing groundwater extraction is the most common cause.

There are warnings of a high risk of wildfires across England and Wales this weekend, due to the hot weather and dry conditions.

At Tintwistle Moor in Derbyshire, fire crews are tackling a fire that's been burning since 24 June. Today the fire service urged people not to go walking in the exclusion zone around the area, as this prevents helicopters being used to drop water on the fire.
