The Seine overflowed its banks as yet another storm system was expected to hit the region, raising concerns of “unprecedented flooding,” per French news reports.

According to the Vigicrues flood-risk information service, the river’s water levels climbed to 3.54 meters (11.61 feet) on Tuesday.

Our weekly reminder for decision-makers here and elsewhere:

Climate change and extreme weather are threatening our societies in many ways.

To ensure a safer world for all, we need to:
- Stop using fossil fuels
- Restore nature
- Respect others, including animals
- Demonstrate solidarity!

Ma Jun: ‘No business interest’ in Chinese coal power due to cheaper renewables  - Carbon Brief Ma Jun, one of China’s most recognisable environmental activists, tells Carbon Brief that more needs to be done to encourage “multi-stakeholder” participation in climate efforts

"There are still bottlenecks, but we see, actually, some progress is being made. Now corporations in China understand that they need to go in a low-carbon direction and some of them are actually motivated to develop innovative solutions."

Chris Stark: The economics of clean energy ‘just get better and better’ - Carbon Brief Chris Stark is head of the UK government’s “mission” to deliver clean power by 2030

“The problems and woes of this country, in terms of the cost of energy, are due to fossil fuels, not due to the Climate Change Act.”

Our legacy mainstream corporate media earns most of their advertising revenue from the fossil fuel industry and political commercials.

So, they are pushing the narrative that Americans are not interested in electric vehicles. I believe that with price parity they'll instead choose the better tech.

From Climate Central: Coffee-harming heat. Yearly days added by climate change, 2021 - 2025.

☕Climate change is coming for our coffee.

New analysis from #ClimateCentral shows that climate change has added more coffee-harming heat to the world’s coffee-growing regions during 2021-2025, potentially affecting the quality and quantity of recent harvests.

Steven Vanholme from EKOenergy presented some of EKOenergy's results during the webinar "From Principles to Practice: Operationalising a Just & Inclusive Energy Transition".

A powerful winter storm dropped 1-3 feet of snow across the US West Coast. Another round of heavy snow is forecast by @noaa.gov. Thanks to the satellites and global collaboration, we are able to monitor extreme weather events and keep people safe. Stay alert: weather.gov

This is mad to me - the meat and dairy industry have for some time now been trying to own words like milk or burger. 

I think it’s outrageous, on the other hand it’s a sign of fear.

We received photos from a solar project we funded in Balochistan, Pakistan. Solar power for remote villages, 5 schools and 3 health units.

The systems now power water pumps, flour mills, fans and small electric devices, improving the lives of thousands.
