As trust in institutions wavers, experts say local, collective action is more effective in driving changeWildfires, excess deaths, hosepipe bans, school closures: this summer many British people have experienced the often devastating effects of the climate crisis in ways they had not before. In that sense, policymakers and climate experts have a unique opportunity to engage with the public about what needs to happen to better prepare the country for the years ahead. But as trust in institutions wavers – and yellowed, drought-stricken grass begins to recover – can the messaging cut through?This week, reflecting on a summer as “hot as hell”, the UN’s head of climate, Simon Stiell, said: “Climate is sometimes seen as a partisan issue, as territory in the culture wars. That is palpably false.” Continue reading...

Scientists have long warned of more intense extreme weather events in the decades to come due to our fast-warming climate. The question they are asking is how we are going to be better prepared as we become more prone to natural disasters.A group of researchers in Switzerland believe that artificial intelligence modeling could revolutionise forecasting systems.
Records from the past few decades show that, during this period, El Niño events have been frequent and often extreme. But is this normal, or is it the result of climate change? Corals can give us a clear indication.
Too many Democratic leaders are feeling comfortable waving off climate concerns, because of a feeling that it might be a political problem for them.

How will they cope with the population boom and climate crisis? A question, the Kenya architecture biennale in Nairobi tried to answer.
"Sorry, but asking Jacob about AI extinction risk is like asking your AC guy about climate change," Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue wrote on X.
These climate feedback loops, where climate change triggers more greenhouse gas emissions that in turn feed into even more climate change, could add 20 to 30 per cent more warming over current estimates for this century.

The Associated Press and, by extension, Fortune Magazine by republishing their piece, seem more interested in promoting the catastrophe narrative of climate change in any way they can, regardless of nuances. The climate comments in the article were completely unnecessary to tell the story of increased human-bear encounters, and only serve to advance the outlets’ political climate slant.

SMD is the moisture the soil must make up until it is at capacity, with very dry conditions over most of England and WalesWhen the ground is thoroughly wet, after excess rainwater has run off it is said to be at field capacity. Meteorologists describe drought in terms of soil moisture deficit (SMD) from field capacity. The SMD is a measure of how thirsty the soil is, expressed as how many millimetres of rain it would take to top it up to field capacity.In southern England, the SMD tends to hover around zero in winter when fields are wet. In summer it may be about 100mm, going up to 150mm or more in a dry year. The extreme of dryness, when soil has no water accessible to plants, is known as the permanent wilting point or PWP.

This summer was the warmest measured in Western Europe, said the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.
For the first time, French champagne producers are allowed to sell their bubbly with more than 13% alcohol, as record heatwaves and drought have resulted in grapes containing unusually high levels of sugar. They fear that climate change may eventually force them to permanently rewrite the rules governing winemaking. Also in the segment, the European Central Bank raised interest rates for the second time this year amid higher energy costs, as a potential new gas crisis looms over Europe.
