Monsoon low could bring year’s worth of rain in a week to parts of NSW, Queensland and South Australia Further thunderstorms bringing heavy rain and flash flooding may hit Melbourne on Tuesday, Bureau of Meteorology warns

Just another weather forecast at 1.5C global warming...

"A lingering monsoon low could deliver a year’s worth of rain in a week to parts of inland South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales, just weeks after record-breaking heat, with a high risk of flash flooding."

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

Economic predictions are failing to get to grips with climate risk.

"Some [current economic models] are saying we’ll have a 10% GDP loss at between 3C and 4C degrees [of global heating], but the physical climate scientists are saying the economy and society will cease to function as we know it."

Claims that AI can help fix climate dismissed as greenwashing Industry using ‘diversionary’ tactics, says analyst, as energy-hungry complex functions such as video generation and deep research proliferate

Shocker - AI slop will not save the climate

Narrower, more traditional uses to increase system efficiency create less emissions than generative AI and can have some climate benefits - but evidence they will make a significant difference is lacking

‘Daunting but doable’: Europe urged to prepare for 3C of global heating Advisory board member says adapting is ‘not rocket science’ but Europe already paying price for lack of preparation

This is a terrible headline!
Adapting to a 3C hotter world is not 'daunting but doable'. We need to be doing everything we can to avoid such a catastrophic future, while heavily investing in adaptation.

AI and data centres: a new climate threat

Fresh fears for South West's rail link in Dawlish after storms Taxpayer money has flowed into fixing the rail line connecting Cornwall with the rest of the UK - but the elements have other ideas.

Remarkable that climate change isn't mentioned anywhere in this article on the fragility of the Dawlish stretch of the SW main line

🍃A big day today as Tir Natur, Wales' biggest (and only large) rewilding project is live. I've been critical of some rewilding projects in the past, and will continue to be where I see a need.

I'm going to try and explain why I've been volunteering to help this project, and why it's important (1/N)

Tony Blair’s oil lobbying is a misleading rehash of fossil fuel industry spin Ex-PM’s thinktank urges more drilling and fewer renewables, ignoring evidence that clean energy is cheaper and better for bills

"A thinktank with close ties to Saudi Arabia and substantial funding from a Donald Trump ally needs to present a particularly robust analysis to earn the right to be listened to on the climate crisis. On that measure, Tony Blair’s latest report fails on almost every point."

MPs fear data centre boom could derail Miliband's net zero plans A senior Labour MP says emission from data centres

MPs warn that the UK government's current carbon budget doesn't allow for the impact of data centre expansion.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It has to be partly about other risks being perceived as being more immediate now. Would anyone have had 'US invading Greenland' on their radar in 2024 as a possible threat to global security?
Having said that, there is clearly active suppression going on. 👇

‘Monstrous’: Cyclone Gezani hits Madagascar, leaving at least 31 dead Gezani hit just 11 days after Cyclone Fytia killed 12 people, destroying 18,600 houses and 20 health facilities.

Madagascar is highly vulnerable to climate change - more intense cyclones & drought.

Cyclone Gezani has killed at least 31, less than two weeks after Cyclone Fytia.

“It’s monstrous. Everything is devastated, roofs have been blown off, floors are flooded, the walls of solid houses have collapsed.”

'We've lost everything': Colombia floods kill 22 A rare spell of torrential rain has killed at least 22 people and left thousands of families displaced in Colombia's northern cattle belt, officials said Tuesday.

Torrential rains in Colombia cause floods killing at least 22 people and displacing thousands.

Rosebank oil field emissions would equate to 70% of the UK's annual total, yet the developer claims this isn’t significant.

Climate & environmental impacts must not be ignored - Rosebank must be rejected due to the catastrophic harm it will cause to our environment.

How AI helps to supercharge oil and gas production AI is quietly boosting fossil fuel expansion, helping companies to drill more confidently and enabling even more destructive emissions to be released

AI's promoters argue that it could potentially be used to cut emissions.
But (as well as the direct emissions from data centres) it is actually being used to increase emissions by allowing fossil fuel companies to increase their output.

Calls to postpone presidential election as Storm Leonardo lashes Portugal and Spain Portugal’s far-right Chega party has said vote should be delayed as state of calamity declared in 69 areas

Spain and Portugal also hit by Storm Leonardo.
Global warming directly increases the risk of flooding with storms forming over warmer seas carrying more moisture.
