MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.

For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

Today, two big cities in China, Xi'an and Shanghai, were hit by violent rainstorms. Among them, Shanghai Pudong received 105mm of rainfall in 45min. Xi'an, located in the inland northwest, also experienced 64mm of rainfall in 1 hour, causing severe waterlogging.

A definitely different type of flood

There is more to where maths came from than the ancient Greeks. From calculus to the theorem we credit to Pythagoras, so much of our knowledge comes from other places, including ancient China, India and the Arabian peninsula, says @CafeBrownie2. https://t.co/ErJLi7jNbF

South-east Australia marine heatwave forecast to be literally off the scale https://t.co/OOfhsvK8Bc

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

An intense marine heatwave has arrived along the Northern and Central California coast, with water temperatures up to 7°F above normal.

A buoy near the Golden Gate reported a water temperature of 68°F today, 7°F above normal.

If warm waters persist, there could be significant impacts on marine life and coastal ecosystems while also making for muggier conditions near the coast.

In what is being called the “world’s worst traffic jam,” some 200 cargo ships are waiting to pass at the Panama Canal as the area experienced its worst drought in 100 years.

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

Heatwaves in Europe will become more frequent, more intense & will last longer.

By 2050, about half of the European population may be exposed to high or very high risk of heat stress during summer.

A YEAR's worth of rain is expected to fall on areas of California over several hours tomorrow due to Hurricane #Hilary. (You read that right).

Flooding conditions WILL be severe. Get prepared with our checklist (if you haven't already).

Current policies make it likely that #globalwarming will exceed 1.5°C during the 21st century & make it harder to limit warming below 2°C.

#IPCC's Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action. 👉 https://t.co/zAMzd12TGF
