European heatwave's unlikely accomplice: An ocean 'cold blob'

The heat wave battering Europe may have an unlikely partner in crime: a patch of cold ocean water south of Iceland and Greenland that can influence weather patterns over the continent.

"People spend a lot of time thinking back to the height of the climate movement in 2019, the kind of Extinction Rebellion era, the sort of Fridays for Future era, when you had massive movements on the street, which – as controversial as they may have been – significantly moved the dial in terms of people's perspectives on the urgency of the climate crisis."

"It's really important to be communicating climate change as directly and intimately related to all the other challenges that people are politically animated by."

RT from Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 (@rahmstorf)

Much of Europe is sweating in an exceptional heat wave. But why has heat in Europe increased 4 times more than in other mid-latitude areas?
That has been linked to the Atlantic #coldblob in several studies. #AMOCSlide from my talk at London Climate Action Week #LCAW2026 today.
