Farmers take action as dry grips Queensland region
By Brandon Long
Queensland farmers gripped by a dry spell are turning to drastic and inventive measures: offloading most of their livestock and laying kilometres of water pipelines.

Amid 'unprecedented' times, farmers take 'risky' gamble on early winter crops
By Selina Green, Cassandra Hough, Brooke Neindorf, and Elsie Adamo
Some SA farmers have rolled the dice on planting winter crops weeks earlier than usual thanks to record-breaking rains. Now they hope the gamble pays off.

"extreme #global #climate outcomes may occur even under moderate 2 °C #warming for several sectors. For #droughts in global key breadbasket regions, #precipitation extremes over highly populated areas and fire #weather extremes across #forests, global #climatic impact-drivers at 2 °C of global warming may turn out to be much more extreme than model-averaged projections at 3 °C or 4 °C warming"
And Jim Hansen is suggesting that we may hit 1.7 degrees this year.
How #LandRestoration is strengthening #ecosystems and #communities across #Africa
June 16, 2025
"Across Africa, land degradation and #ClimateChange are converging to create a growing crisis. Unsustainable land use, #deforestation and #SoilErosion have left millions of hectares barren, stripping communities of the natural resources they rely on. Meanwhile, the impacts of climate change – shifting rainfall patterns, rising temperatures and more frequent #droughts and #floods – are compounding pressures on #agriculture and water resources.
"Today, an estimated 65 percent of Africa's land is impacted by land degradation and drought, affecting more than 400 million people and causing economic losses exceeding US$70 billion each year.
"Governments across the continent are increasingly prioritizing land restoration as a national and regional imperative by pioneering policies, partnerships and investments to reverse degradation and strengthen #ClimateChangeAdaptation and #resilience. This brings tangible benefits for both people and nature, helping to secure food systems, create economic opportunities and strengthen communities against #ClimateShocks.
With support from the Global Environment Facility’s Least Developed Countries Fund and UNDP, #Ethiopia, #Rwanda and #Senegal are transforming degraded landscapes into a source of stability and productivity, their experience offering a replicable model for other nations confronting similar challenges."

State of the Global Climate 2025
The World Meteorological Organization "State of Climate report confirms
2015-2025 hottest 11 years on record
Earth’s energy imbalance is highest in sixty five-year record.
The ocean has been absorbing about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades.
Extreme weather impacts millions and costs billions."

WMO’s State of the Global Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense heat, heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies.The ocean continues to warm and absorb carbon dioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades. Annual sea ice extent in the Arctic was at or near a record low, Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated, according to the report.For the first time, the report includes the Earth’s energy imbalance as one of the key climate indicators.
