There's been some talk recently about an upsurge in cholera cases worldwide. 2022 data aren't fully available yet, but here's a graph of global cholera cases over the last 30 years. The big surge here is almost entirely due to cases in Yemen (shown here in red) resulting from the massive destruction of their civilian water and sanitation infrastructure by the Saudis in the recent war. (Data from the WHO Global Health Observatory, plotted by me.)

For context, this is one of my favorite climate graphs, showing 800,000 years of atmospheric CO2, including the massive run-up over the past century. We're now around 420 parts per million (ppm), more than anytime in 800,000 years (actually more than anytime in the past 5 million years) and completely outside the natural ups and downs in the record. This is the driver of the current #climate crisis.

This storm, one of the latest large storm ever recorded in the North Atlantic, extends from northern Canada almost all the way to the British Isles.

If you're in the western United States, this is a beautiful picture.

There has been an explosion in reported cases of cholera since 1991, but the vast majority of new cases are in Yemen, where war has devasted the civilian #water purification and treatment system. Data for 2022 are not yet available.

Typical #climate media coverage.

Excited to see the new Climate Book from @gretathunberg. I've written the Fresh Water piece.
