Europe scorched by wildfires – pictures from space Satellite imagery shows the impact on Europe after wildfires raged across the south of the continent

Europe scorched by 2025 climate wildfires.

The wildfires of 2028/2029 will be much worse and far more extreme, because of politicians that keep allowing fossil fuels to be burned.

Trees, water, rocks, mist...

DENMARK'S PRIME MINISTER METTE FREDERIKSEN DECLARES THAT NETANYAHU HAS BECOME A PROBLEM FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD

This is where we're at, but they STILL won't stop taking from what's left.

It's on us to fight for the natural world.

I've preorderd my copy of LIE OF THE LAND. John has been an uncompromising champion for climate action, constantly in the thick of it in the trenches of the Irish media. No punches will be pulled in this one.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Horrific satellite imagery shows the impact on Europe after wildfires raged across the south of the continent.

‘Pray for rain’: wildfires in Canada are now burning where they never used to Canada’s response to the extreme weather threat is being upended as the traditional epicentre of the blazes shifts as the climate warms

Fires have been concentrated in prairie provinces and Atlantic region, with bone-dry conditions upending how Canada responds to a threat that is only likely to grow as the climate warms.

From counting trees to enhancing climate resiliency, Kampala focuses on its forests KAMPALA — Ten years ago, Uganda’s capital Kampala was facing a strange problem: trees were falling over on the city’s streets, injuring people and damaging cars and property. The municipality…

Recognized as a “Tree City of the World,” Uganda’s capital Kampala has set out on a journey to transform its urban forest into a resilient, native-rich landscape.

What began as a response to falling trees has become a comprehensive environmental strategy tackling health, equity and climate change.

Does Climate Change Lead to Conflict?

Monday is the best day to question the growth paradigms; that are the root of our problems, for the rest of the week. Have a good one.

Las Vegas' growing mosquito problem is 'a ticking time bomb' The insects are not only a nuisance, but also pose a major threat of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever and West Nile virus.

"A ticking time bomb."
Disease-carrying mosquitoes are exploding in numbers due to climate change in Las Vegas.

Do this everywhere. If you need help preparing your clay earth for building or creating a small curriculum, etc., I'm happy to assist.
Not just children who need these opportunities to increase their handprint rather than their footprint. Passive houses , deep retrofitting is not far away from here:

The magic of an Irish Atlantic rainforest 🌍

As of today, 19,892 square kms of Manitoba has burned this wildfire season.

That’s 3.6% of Manitoba’s land mass.

For context, that area is equivalent to burning the entire land mass of New Jersey.

Her name was Amna al-Mufti. She was 11 years old.

Just one atrocity of many.

Global humidity reached record levels in 2024, says latest climate report The latest report on global climate change highlights the impact of higher global temperatures on the water cycle, with atmospheric water vapour levels reaching record levels during 2024.

“Human health can be seriously affected by high heat and humidity. Such a dramatic increase in the occurrence of these humid-heat events is bringing more societies into challenging, potentially life-threatening, situations.” - Dr. Kate Willett @metoffice.gov.uk

Methane fossil gas is the most dangerous of all the fossil fuels.

It is the worst of all the fossil fuels at causing climate change.

LNG is a mass murdering gas that will cause millions to die through extreme heat waves and floods and famine.

So many of these pics are in front of land that has been absolutely razed by farming activities

The entire background there should be native forest - but has been replaced by invasive plants destroying the British natural countryside.

Not disagreeing.

Here in Ireland my research has pointed out that the extreme & increasing outlier imbalance toward animal derived food production is delaying just transition for farmers, failing Paris commitments, & enabling severe GHG and nutrient pollution costs bourne by nature and the public.

Hundreds sign petition against Cornwall solar farm plans Residents say the plan, equivalent to 69 football pitches, is inappropriate for the Lanreath area.

If BBC local news gave even a fraction of the attention it gives to nimbyism to the dual climate and biodiversity crises, it's just possible there'd be less nimbyism.

#Hurricaneerin is hungry. It will feast on hot water up to 88 degrees. After using this heat to power its engine, it will dissipate said heat. Leaving a cool ocean wake in its path, ~10 degrees lower than it found it. #erin

Just got off the phone with a friend in the Northern Neck & we were talking about how much water is potentially going to be pumped out of the Rappahannock & groundwater for the local data centers. He kept saying we’ve entered a “new epoch” in the history of that ancient waterway & Ive got to agree.

I don't understand how anyone with a green space, however small, would not see it as a precious chance to allow nature to come close by.
However, reading this book 👇 by the Indian writer Amitav Ghosh as noted ☝️ might shed some light on why most people living in Ireland would not share my view.

Among the most exceptional events of this brief but intense warm spell in ICELAND
was the that on 15th evening, short after the 10pm
the temperature at Kvísker (SE-Iceland) reached 27.0C for a short time.
That evening warmth had never happened in Iceandic history.
