Stem klimaat! #verkiezingen #tk2025

This is literally right out of the Lord of the Rings

Russians have just targeted civilian cars on the Kyiv-Odesa highway, murdering 3 people. The U.S. is still limiting Starlink ability and people are dying.

Hôtel de Ville, Limoges, it was set on fire today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B4...

"But a group of countries, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia and including India and China, is pressing for publication of the report to be pushed back to 2029. "They argue this is necessary in order to allow developing countries to have more input into the scientific findings...." 🙄

Here's a graph that all Americans should see 👇 The insane diesel prices are 100% caused by the (lost) war with Iran, 0% by Ukraine trying to defend itself. (Note these are US EIA's own figures!)

Can't stop watching the lightning within Hurricane Isaias. Just a phenomenal view from space.

Inspectie: Stop met pesticiden die pfas verspreiden, het risico voor het drinkwater is te groot

Ontwikkeling klimaat in Nederland, de gemiddelde temperatuur over 30 jaar voor centraal Nederland (meerdere stations), inclusief reconstructie vanaf 1706. Let op: ieder punt staat voor gemiddelde van 15 jaar ervoor en 15 jaar erna. #klimaat

I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change. Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms. But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.

Maybe AI needs a rethink... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

And I can't state this enough: Our estimates of high climate sensitivity are based on the best estimates of available observations. There is a high probability (from a risk perspective) that climate sensitivity is even higher than our seemingly 'higher' (than e.g. IPCC's +3°C for 2xCO₂) estimates.

In addition to two areas flagged by NHC today, we need to talk about the big outage for our main hurricane tracking satellite, which went offline late yesterday. We don't have any recovery timelines yet, so for now we're relying on flanking satellites. ⬇️

With all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C). www.theclimatebrink....

En ook in Nederland : steeds vaker Beuken met een opvallend dunne kroon en veel dode takken, en bomen die in de xomer al blad laten vallen door droogte en hitte. Verdrogende bossen nemen geen CO2 meer op, klimaatopwarming versterkt zichzelf.

Temperatures have exceeded 34°C today for the 8th day this year 🌡️ That makes it a record for the most number of 34°C or higher in a calendar year 👇 The record was previously set in 1976 and 2020 for 7 days

12 hours of Himawari-9 visible imagery of Super Typhoon #Bavi traversing through the Marianas. Lots of interesting things to see. The low-level eye spins up to solid body rotation over the course of the day. The eye (still) seemed kind of elliptical, but it's hard to tell for sure.

Scary situation tonight as Super #Typhoon #BAVI swallows the tiny Island of Rota just north of #Guam. The 3D view shows how immense the 180 mph storm is compared to the islands in the path. 2000 people live there. Let’s hope they were able to protect themselves from this behemoth! 🙏

Wow

After a severe battering by Cat 4 Typhoon Sinlaku in April, the islands of Tinian and Saipan brace for a potential Cat 4 or Cat 5 impact by Bavi on Sunday. @irenesans.bsky.social and I have the latest: yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/07/typh...

Hadden wetenschappers niet een paar jaar terug kunnen waarschuwen voor klimaatverandering?

Today has been another record breaking day, with a new provisional June temperature record of 37.3°C recorded at Santon Downham this afternoon

In the simplest possible and patently obvious common sense terms that a 6 year old could understand: geo-engineering, especially the solar reduction stuff, is absolutely crazy.

Solar PV's GHG mitigation potential across the EU varies 31-fold — and it's driven by grid carbon intensity, not sunshine. Sunny Spain and Portugal sit near the bottom precisely because their grids are already clean. 🧪 🔌💡 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

De oude Sovjet Unie is er niets bij. "Partijcommissarissen" die bepalen wat wel en niet goede wetenschap is. www.volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/c...

Voor als je denkt dat het allemaal wel meevalt met het klimaat nu de wetenschap het ergste scenario voor toekomstige broeikasgas-uitstoot niet meer waarschijnlijk vinden. Spoiler: dat denken ze ook van het veiligste scenario, en de rest is nog steeds niet wat je wilt. www.knmi.nl/over-het-knm...

Politici die letterlijk olie op het vuur gooien door #extreemrechts te steunen. #loosdrecht Ja, ik vergeet nog een paar namen. Maar deze waren zelf aanwezig om de boel op te hitsen!

You can get to a high-warming world without high emissions . That's the part of this week's "RCP 8.5 is implausible" discussion that's getting missed. A short thread on why the relief is premature 🧵

De doden van de 2e wereldoorlog kunnen niets doen aan de huidige politieke situatie. Laten we uit respect for hen dan ook niet deze twee met elkaar verwarren. #dodenherdenking

Russian terror against Ukrainian civilians continues. Today in Dnipro, a bus station was hit. Russia is a terrorist state!

De twee grote natuurbranden vandaag nabij Weert en Oirschot goed zichtbaar vanuit het vliegtuig. Met een stevige zuidoostelijke wind waaiert de pluim vrij plat, maar langgerekt uit naar het westen. Credits: Laurens Smit

Dnipro (City in Ukraine) is burning once again after another Russian attack. Russia is a terrorist state!

Peulvruchten!
