Perhaps this thread is a bit too dramatic, given the falling water table in an aquifer somewhere in a small country in the heart of Europe
Elsewhere, things have already gone further. Elsewhere, the countryside has already been depopulated because where there is no water, life is impossible.

Since the 1970s, the amount of insects at Canada's Long Point Bird Observatory has dropped by more than 60%, according to a new study led by the University of Michigan. Because of this, today's birds are smaller and facing greater challenges to their breeding success compared with previous generations

This weekend, we discovered that our hand pump can no longer draw enough water to the garden. The water table has apparently dropped so much that the well pipe now only reaches the water levelor perhaps not even that. In this flat landscape, an aquifer of gravel and sand has existed for about 5 million years. The water was never deepthat much was certain. Thats over now. Temperatures are around 30C. No rain in sight. Summer is still. Let's get used to it, Europeans.

Big business is failing on forest conservation

There have been multiple global commitments to forests, with hundreds of governments and businesses signing up to pledges named after cities they were signed in: Bonn in 2011, New York in 2014, Glasgow in 2021.

Does Environment Canada have the ability to warn us and track the changes in our climate The government is cutting ECCC services and capabilities at a time that we need it more than ever.

Here's our petition to tell them to restore Environment Canada!

Please post it on all of your socials, send it in an email, send it to your MP and MLA/MPP.

We're only 73 signatures away from the magic 500 needed for ! We're hoping for many more before the summer ends so Government can't ignore this issue.

Heres what we, citizens and residents of Canada, are asking from the Government:

1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science

2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems

3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada

4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts and

5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.

The petition ends August 26th in time for the new session in the fall. We have the summer to get it done!

Europe facing prolonged heat dome
By Phil Bainbridge

June 22, 2026 - A heat dome developing over western and central Europe could engulf the continent in a long-lasting heatwave, triggering red alerts in France, Spain, Italy and the UK as June temperatures break historical records

Europe suffers under record heatwave as temperatures forecast to reach 44C.

Rail services, schools and sports events hit, with deaths of three elderly people in France partly blamed on intense heat.

Lots and lots of people
are telling us today
about the heat.

What I would like
them to do is
work out a way of
capturing and storing
all of this heat
in the summer to release
back to us in the winter.

Now wouldn't that be
better than AI

Record-breaking heat is gripping the planet as global warming drives temperatures to dangerous extremes.

In Pakistan, some areas have topped 50C (122F). Parts of the Middle East have exceeded 49C (120F). Southern Europe is seeing temperatures above 44C (111F), while parts of the U.S. Southwest continue to endure 43C+ (109F+) heat.
Scientists warn these once-rare extremes are becoming more common as greenhouse gas emissions continue to warm the planet.
