The administration calls it a "little detour." One hundred seventy-four civilians dead. Twenty-five billion dollars. Zero congressional votes. When the past RNC chair calls it war crimes, you're not reading partisan screed—you're reading a smoke alarm. The land is keeping score. It always has.

There's never a lack of interesting people and cutting-edge science at EGU – and it's always great to come to beautiful Vienna.
👉 Are you at EGU? Come say hello, join our sessions, or connect with us!
Climate scientists find large errors in global database... reads like a terrifying headline.
Then you read the synopsis of the paper and are mortified by learning that they UNDERestimated carbon emissions from vehicles in cities by 70-90%!
Glad my car runs mostly on green leccy but keen to go full electric soon.

New research from Northern Arizona University found that a global greenhouse gas emissions database produced by the Climate TRACE consortium, co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore, is underestimating vehicle carbon dioxide emissions in cities by an average of 70%.

Extreme Heat and Agriculture

#climate #ClimateScience #climatechange #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #ClimateBreakdown #ClimateDisruption #globalWarming #globalHeating #ExtremeWeather #polycrisis
Extreme heat is emerging as one of the most urgent and least understood threats to agriculture and food security. Rising temperatures, prolonged heatwaves, and shifting climate patterns are already disrupting crop yields, livestock health, water availability, and rural livelihoods – with impacts falling disproportionately on the most vulnerable.Because extreme heat is predictable, strengthening climate services and early warning systems linked to anticipatory actions is a key opportunity. It is also clear that there are profound limits to what adaptation can achieve. With global mean temperatures on the cusp of exceeding the 1.5 °C warming limit outlined in the Paris Agreement, the urgency for adaptation and mitigation action only grows. The only durable solution to protect the future of global agrifood systems from the escalating threat of extreme heat lies in ambitious, multilateral climate change mitigation.
