This is so telling. So scary. So concerning. The predictions for 2050, made in 2014, on extreme heat in France, are vastly exceeded, already in 2026. Why? We have underestimated the rate of change. Warming is accelerating. Ocean heat is off the charts. Is Earth losing Resilience?
For almost every mass extinction event in the last 450 million years, there was a mismatch in the rates at which the environment changed and at which animals could adapt. Modern environmental change may be approaching rates beyond which adaptation becomes increasingly difficult."
they die. thousands of them. and more are dying every year. growing heat risk is increasing excess deaths. this is what the climate scientists were warning about for twenty years. we had two whole decades to intervene. instead Americans especially doubled down.
Tak abyście Wiedzieli i Rozumieli.
Obecne upały w zachodniej Europie nie są wynikiem ocieplenia klimatu, ale trwałej przebudowy wzorca prądów strumieniowych. Upały wynikają z przepływów ciepłych mas powietrza w układzie "omega" ➡️meandrowania prądów strumieniowych.
The political story behind this needs to be told at a global level and I'm glad he is at a tournament which has a much bigger global presence than AFCON.
FIFA’s broadcast cameras appeared to avoid showing this moment, likely due to rules around political gestures and protests.
But today, Lumumba covered his mouth and mimed a gun to his head in a powerful protest against the silence surrounding the conflict in eastern DR Congo.
One of the world’s most active crises has displaced thousands, and he used the World Cup stage to make sure people could not look away.
This is what true influence looks like. 🇨🇩👏
It's now or never, folks! We're leaving the Holocene far behind and entering a wholly new realm. Things are gonna get real scary and unprecedented on all levels. Mitigation and adaptation to extreme global / regional climatic events should go hand-in-hand.
The disruption of our climate system, caused by Niño values of +4°C in the 2nd & 3rd quarters, will very quickly push us towards a permanent global +3°C, possibly even this year.
It's now up to all policymakers to respond to this. Including those of the oil-producing countries.
Nothing you haven’t heard before, but just to reiterate, I guess: the overlapping ecological crises brought on by industrial civilization—and greatly accelerated by capitalism—will cause the collapse of human society &—depending on our response—potentially our extinction, too
Jamais durant mon adolescence à Nice, même sans clim, je n’ai connu la fournaise qu’on a eu aujourd’hui à Rennes.
Le vent brûlant plus chaud que l’air ambiant c’est pas un concept très breton, j’étais pas prête. 🤦♀️
Never ever forgive the media or politicians for playing climate change and calling those of us who raised it names like eco-fanatics and zealots. They should be jailed. They’ve endangered us all.
There is nothing unlikely about this alliance - it is based purely on Islamophobia, and it has led to the worst foreign policy mistake in the history of modern India.
Crazy and very close visuals of #Tornado from Toothukudi Airport in #TamilNadu.
Folks have not idea what are witnessing.
Wind speed under such Tornado could easily be 170-220km/h. By the structure it seems like almost EF2 (Enhanced Fujita scale 178km/h+ winds)
This was a prediction a few years ago from a French TV show about how hot it might be by 2050 if we didn’t stop climate change.
France is seeing these temperatures today.
Climate change is happening faster than predicted and it’s going to get much worse.
