The latest smoke plumes from intense Canadian wildfires are reaching Europe, causing hazy skies, and a second plume is following according to our #CopernicusAtmosphere aerosol optical depth forecast.

Dear @bsky.app can we have a bit less of cats and dogs (and weirdos posting weird stuff) and a bit more of relevant information ? Otherwise I’m liking it. Thanks

A before and after collage of a street in central London. The before is an asphalt-dominated three-lane thoroughfare. The after a lush green pedestrian zone with seating.

We shouldn’t have to escape the city for a daily dose of nature, no matter how short or small.

By challenging the privilege of the car on our streets, we create new opportunities for re-greening them; thus boosting our physical, mental, and social well-being.

Pointe du Raz

Pointe du Raz

Pointe du Raz, Britanny, France. Home of the Raz de Sein, a dangerous stretch feared by sailors for its tidal currents (visible in the photo, at descending tide). Never seen something like that before. All the fierce power of the ocean in that little corner of the world.

Dropping Netanyahu will be much more efficient than air-dropping 'humanitarian' aid in Gaza.

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

The dangers of sitting: why sitting is the new smoking The less sitting or lying down you do during the day, the better your chances for living a healthy life.

At school, we were repeatedly instructed to "sit still", and this became embedded in our lives as a cardinal virtue. We now know that sitting still is highly damaging to our health. Perhaps it's time we told children to do the opposite.

bar chart showing deaths associate with extreme heat with and without climate change in 12 European cities

About 1500 of the approx. 2300 people that will have lost their lives across 12 European cities last week would still live, if it wasn't for our burning of oil, coal and gas. If we care about the right to life, we need to stop burning fossil fuels. www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...

9 de cada 10 muertes en Madrid por la reciente ola de calor se atribuyen al cambio climático - Climática, el medio especializado en clima y biodiversidad El cambio climático estuvo detrás de casi 400 muertes en Madrid y Barcelona ocurridas durante la primera ola de calor del verano, según un estudio de atribución rápido.

9 de cada 10 muertes atribuibles a la pasada ola de calor en Madrid se debieron al cambio climático.

Cuanto más avance la crisis climática, más calor extremo y más mortalidad por calor.

O combustibles fósiles o salud

Contractors building Alligator Alcatraz have donated money to Florida GOP, DeSantis The companies and their married chief executives, Carlos Duart and Tina Vidal-Duart, have given a total of $1.9 million to the two state political action committees supporting DeSantis’ bids for gover...

It's payback time: Miami Herald looks at the Alligator Alley concentration camp and finds that DeSantis is using it to transfer money from the Florida treasury to the pockets of his political cronies and supporters. That's what it's all about. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Antje is a great example of how ECMWF balances operational forecasting challenges with research and how research helps drive innovation in our weather predictions.

Our oceans are dying right in front of our eyes
"Warmer waters hold less oxygen, leading to mass fish die-offs such as those seen in Tuscany in 2024. And, as fish dive deeper to escape the heat on surface, they can’t be reached by seabirds, then die off in their masses, too"

Mientras, el mayor responsable global del cambio climático se aplicaba a borrar la ciencia y depredar los últimos recursos para mantener su hegemonía desesperadamente y seguir emitiendo gases de efecto invernadero.

Cuando los nietos que nunca tendré me pregunten cómo empezó el apocalipsis, les hablaré de la escena costumbrista que presencié hoy a las nueve de la mañana, cuando la gente que esperaba al autobús cruzó la carretera y sentó en la mediana bajo un arbusto porque en la parada caía el sol a plomo.
