„Im Herbst regnet es wieder, dann sind die Flüsse wieder voll.“
So einfach ist es nicht. Der Rhein lebt im Sommer nicht nur vom Regen, sondern vom Wasserspeicher der Alpen. Historisch stammen beim Alpenrhein rund 55 % des jährlichen Abflusses aus der Schneeschmelze. In trockenen Sommern kommt zusätzlich wichtiges Wasser aus den Gletschern.
Doch dieser Speicher verschwindet: Wärmere Winter bedeuten weniger Schnee, die Schneedecke schmilzt früher und die Gletscher schrumpfen. Winterregen fließt dagegen größtenteils ab – er wartet nicht auf den trockenen August.
Deshalb müssen wir in den kommenden Jahrzehnten mit immer weniger Wasser in unseren Flüssen rechnen – gerade im Sommer. Jeden Sommer weniger Wasser! Wir bekommen mehr Wasser zur falschen Zeit und verlieren die Reserve für die trockenen Monate. Ein verregneter Herbst ersetzt keinen verschwundenen Gletscher.

Today I, and other UK climate scientists, sent an open letter to the Energy Secretary, Miatta Fahnbulleh, asking her to take serious note of the science when making a decision about the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil fields

Last night’s eclipse was magical.
The next true total eclipse visible in the UK will be in 2090.
In a world NOT heading for 3-4C this century, many of us would expect our children to witness this eclipse.
But in this world?
By 2090 what will be left?
Potatoes ‘boil’ in the ground as record heatwave sweeps across swathes of Asia.
Why are people still denying climate change. I don't get it. It's unfathomable. It's criminal. WAKE UP!

Arme Schweine 🐖 Hunderte verendete Schweine in Amstetten entdeckt!
Die Polizei entdeckte 400 tote Schweine. Die bisherigen Ermittlungen ergaben außerdem einen "Fehlbestand" von 1000 weiteren Tieren. Kannibalismus wird nicht ausgeschlossen 😢 https://t.co/FEymh1qVim
“Some researchers suggest that the developing El Niño, coming on top of warming and drying caused by climate change, might push the rainforest past its ‘tipping point’ — shorthand for the threshold at which a runaway cascade of drying, tree death and wildfire…”
It’s not just Europe that’s feeling the (literally) burning heat. Last month was the hottest one in the US since record began in 1895. Average temperatures in the lower 48 states were a full 3.3 degrees C above the 20th century one.

Why Europe Is the Fastest-Warming Continent.
Here is a curious thing about our warming planet: it doesn’t warm evenly. The physics are the same everywhere, but geography plays favorites, and Europe has drawn the short straw. The continent is heating up roughly twice as fast as the global average, which seems unfair until you look at a map and see why.
Europe sits uncomfortably close to the Arctic, which is warming faster than anywhere on Earth as its reflective ice gives way to dark, heat-absorbing ocean. Land also warms faster than water, and Europe is a big lump of land parked at high latitude.
Then there’s the clean air problem, of all things. For decades, Europe’s industrial haze acted like a dirty parasol, bouncing sunlight back into space. When the continent cleaned up its act, the parasol vanished, and the full warming finally showed through.
None of this requires believing anyone’s politics. It just requires believing in thermometers, and thermometers, inconveniently, have no agenda.
Trump not only hid in a food cart, but to save himself, Trump was willing to sacrifice the lives of journalists, White House staff members, and high-level officials (such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio) by leaving them behind on the original Air Force One decoy jet during the secret plane transfer. Trump is no Joe Biden.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A massive report exposes that Trump purchased $100,000,000 in bonds tied to companies DIRECTLY impacted by his policies. That is slam dunk insider trading and is IMPEACHABLE.
Overall, Trump has made an estimated $3.4 BILLION in just one year and 6 months.
There is nothing more ironic than those who talk about the climate crisis but are afraid to talk about Gaza or Genocide because it is “controversial”. ALL crises are controversial, until brave people start talking about them. This is why I dropped the G bomb in this interview AND I linked it to the climate crisis.

„Nichts als Arbeit.“ Dann bricht Vassilis Kavouras in Tränen aus. Seit 50 Jahren betreiben er und seine Frau ihre Farm in Griechenland. Nie Urlaub, immer gearbeitet. Nun haben die Brände fast alles zerstört, darunter fast 900 Tiere. Hinter den Meldungen über Rekordhitze, Dürren und Feuer stehen Menschen, deren Lebenswerk innerhalb weniger Stunden verschwindet. Eine von Tausenden Geschichten, die dieser Rekordsommer im Zeitalter des Klimawandels schreibt. Und trotzdem diskutieren wir noch immer darüber, ob die Klimakrise wirklich so schlimm ist.
LONDON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - A vast oil spill in the Gulf is quickly becoming one of the world’s worst in years after being allowed to spread almost unchecked for weeks.
