"London, along with other parts of southeast England, is at the epicenter of a subsidence problem, which is being fueled by unusually hot and dry weather. As heat waves dry out the city’s soil, the ground is shifting and shrinking, pulling buildings down with it."
Earth cooked up its hottest month ever recorded in August. It shouldn’t raise eyebrows. “It is now time to stop acting surprised that our warming planet keeps getting warmer. This is occurring exactly as forecast by scientists literally decades ago,” Texas A&M University climate scientist Andrew Dessler told climate reporter Seth Borenstein.

A sweeping synthesis of more than a quarter-century of research has concluded that biochar, the charcoal-like material produced by heating organic waste in
Meer dan 40.000 mensen liepen mee met de klimaatmars in Amsterdam. Jong en oud eisen minder fossiele brandstoffen na een zomer vol klimaatrampen. Lees het hele verhaal.
Glaciers are going away, some slower, some faster. But we are losing them at an alarming rate. Do you want to know when if the glacier closer to you will vanish? This is a handy database to look for that.
Climeworks reported that its Mammoth facility in Iceland removed 675 tonnes of CO₂ in the first half of the year, nearly six times more than the same period last year. If that rate continues, it would remove around 1,350 tonnes annually.
We emit ~38.1 billion tonnes of CO₂ per year.
Removing 1,350 tonnes offsets about 0.0000035% of annual emissions.
So we’re reversing global warming by roughly 2 seconds annually. Progress!

Wildfires, excess deaths, hosepipe bans, school closures: this summer many British people have experienced the often devastating effects of the climate crisis
South Africa’s next generation of scientists is turning cutting-edge innovation into practical solutions for one of the country’s most urgent challenges:
“When we talk about climate action, this is what we are really talking about: protecting people, their health, their livelihoods, and their ability to build a future where they live.”
In the Middle East and North Africa, the climate crisis boils down to four urgent human questions: how to secure food, water, and energy, and how to survive extreme weather.
