Heat Domes are becoming a normal, regular thing now. It was 34 today and 'just another day'

Scientists are attributing more frequent and intense in European heat waves to climate change (3)(4). The health risks extend beyond the heat itself. Extreme temperatures are intertwined with air pollution, as stagnant air traps pollutants like ground-level ozone and particulate matter. Wildfires and dust storms, both intensified by prolonged heat, can also contribute to poor regional air quality

The rising risk of landslides

Climate change is supercharging hurricanes, heavy downpours, and wildfires, all of which make landslides more likely

greater discussion about climate change often increases support for mitigation, but in some regions, it can also fuel anti-mitigation sentiment

If Asia increases its mitigation efforts, global warming slows slightly, which can reduce the perceived urgency in OECD countries such as Canada and the United States. That could weaken social pressure for climate action and create harmful long-term consequences

Some nice structures and shapes. Particularly pleased with the roll of low cloud/mist along the A85 through Strathearn in the distance.

Your regular reminder that these brilliant electric-blue clouds are increasingly visible due to increasing methane/water vapour/ozone interactions in the upper atmosphere.

capability unmoored from consequence is not intelligence at all. It may be the very form of stupidity that a cognitively brilliant but adaptively misaligned species has learned to mistake for progress.

As snowfall declines, a key ingredient is keeping the ski season alive

Data shows snow depth has been declining in Australia since the 1950s, with resorts turning to snowmaking to guarantee a strong ski season.

Scientists Say This Climate Hack Could Stop El Nio Before It Starts

Anthropogenic climate change and the extinction of Indigenous languages are projected to eliminate up to one-third of the native plant species utilized by Amazonian cultures, causing a massive decline in regional biocultural knowledge by 2080.

Not all regions of the world would benefit from reversing El Nino conditions, and the models showed unintended consequences, including warming over Europe and Asia.

"The other catch I would say is that we didn't look at long-term impacts," said Wan, including what would happen if marine cloud brightening was used repeatedly to suppress El Ninos

Much of the world has made encouraging strides in reducing toxic problems such as water and air pollution that have long plagued communities. But there is still a widespread lack of progress among countries in dealing with the climate crisis, according to the latest edition of an influential environmental scorecard.

this post prompted me to listen to the latest RNZ headlines. 2nd story was about a study of the effects of flooding in NZ under different emissions scenarios. They didn't mention climate change, carbon, carbon dioxide even though that's precisely what the study was about. Weird.

We know what will work: stop burning fossil fuels.

People will do anything to avoid doing what will work.

"Urban water affordability crisis exacerbated by climate change

Abstract

Climate change intensifies water stress globally, necessitating expensive infrastructure interventions to maintain reliable supply. To fund infrastructure, utilities often raise rates, increasing water bills for low-income households. The resulting affordability impacts depend on utility costs and interactions between rate design, financing, climate and household demands. Here we develop a city-scale modelling framework to estimate climate change impacts on water affordability, integrating climate, utility adaptation decisions and demand. In Santa Cruz, California, we find that climate change alone could double water bills by mid-century, leaving an additional 716% of Santa Cruz households with unaffordable water. Our results suggest that climate change may lead to greater water affordability challenges than previously estimated in hotspots where supply is vulnerable to climate change. This highlights the need for policy intervention and financing to ensure climate adaptation does not compromise affordability. The magnitude of climate-related affordability challenges depends on local context, requiring city-scale assessments."

Has Radio NZ got an editorial policy to minimise mention of climate change. Yet again this morning it has an article about heavy rain (One of the farms... had 500mm of rain over 48 hours) and no mention of the fact that climate change increases the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. Other media outlets such as Al Jazeera regularly mention climate change in their reporting of storms and flooding.
