Europe’s Summer of Reckoning Is ‘Just the Beginning’ “2026 is just the beginning,” Professor Rockström added. “It will inevitably get worse. It will get worse and worse and worse to the point where, I’m afraid, we’ll be passing the limits of adaptation.” @nytimes.com 1/

US embassies are quite subtle, aren’t they? Could barely tell which country this one represents.

This is such a great visualization of the carbon cycle and of how humanity has completely altered it within a geological instant. Visualization by @rarohde.bsky.social. 1/

Q: "Are we ready for the age of global wildfires?" A: Not at all!

"2026 and 1997 are El Niño twins, both featuring 8°C ocean temperature anomalies beneath the surface of the Pacific. But they're not identical. This year's El Niño is warmer across a wider region, meaning there's more heat in the tank and its impacts won't exactly mirror 1997." Ben Noll

So a lot of this + a record Super El Niño. Hold on to your hats people. And hold your representatives accountable!

Please don't downplay the impacts accelerated warming combined with a Super El Niño could have. It could impact real people's lives. The precautionary principle applies and with great reach (e.g. ~100k on Blue Sky and >200k on Twitter/X followers) comes great responsibility.

It looks like extreme summer heatwaves in the Mediterranean are the "new normal". 2 x ~80% desulphurization of shipping definitely (in 2020 maximum sulphur fuel content from 3.5% to 0.5% and in 2025 from 0.5% to 0.1%) contributes to this.
