Scientists said the high of 15.4C broke the previous record set at the same station in 1998 by 2C. “This is absolutely crazy,” said Raúl Cordero, an Ecuadorian climate professor at the University of Groningen. “It is also about 20C above normal for this time of the year. That is a huge anomaly.”

Not good news - but a very useful bit of research.

Short summary: When it gets too hot or too dry, trees do not add wood, even though photosynthesis continues. So while trees do store carbon, it might not be as much as we thought.

Trees may store less planet-heating carbon than hoped, study suggests

One Minute to Midnight How Extreme Wealth Fuels the Climate Crisis

Based on Tony Juniper’s book, this episode proves that global inequality—not a lack of tech—is the primary roadblock to saving our planet. Compressing human history into a 24-hour clock, we explore how extreme wealth footprints, status anxiety, and a broken obsession with GDP have pushed us to the final 60 seconds before ecological collapse. It’s time for #Thrivalism.

Tropical heron spotted in UK for first time as more exotic birds arrive to thrill birdwatchers

Appearance of a western reef heron in north Wales is unlikely to be the last, as heating temperatures mean species can survive Britain’s winter, say experts

Totalitarian China uses renewable energy simply as the international PR façade. There's no substance behind it and no understanding of why quick and comprehensive green transition is important.

Those naïve enough to believe that the CCP regime will be the global eco-savior are in for an extremely rough (or should I say hot?) awakening:

Despite Record Renewable Growth, China Is Still Betting on Coal - Inside Climate News

China’s power-sector emissions fell in 2025 for the first time in a decade, but a rebound in coal-fired generation raises doubts about whether the decline will last.
