We need to adapt to this changing climate, and ensure that our infrastructure is resilient.

We will see more of these events, and they will continue to become more extreme until we halt climate change by reaching global net-zero emissions.

We will regret not acting sooner, and not acting faster.

When it rains, it now rains more.

For those experiencing the flooding in south-west England, it is worth remembering that rainfall in winter has increased by about 25% overall.

And, the rainfall has also become more intense: when it rains, it now rains more, increasing the risk of flooding.

Géo-ingénierie climatique : de quoi parle-t-on ? Pour quelle efficacité et quels nouveaux risques ? Loin d’être la solution magique, manipuler artificiellement le climat pourrait générer de nouveaux risques – certains sont déjà bien documentés, d’autres plus incertains à ce stade.

[1/8] Le climatologue Laurent Bopp (CNRS) analyse la géo-ingénierie climatique. Il montre qu’elle regroupe des techniques très différentes, aux effets incertains et parfois risqués, loin d’être des solutions simples au réchauffement. #geography #geoengineering #climate

Why Greenland Matters for a Warming World The fate of the world’s largest island has outsize importance for billions of people on the planet, because as the climate warms, Greenland is losing ice. That has consequences.

As the climate data for 2025 continues to be released, it's time to update various data visualisations.

First - the global climate stripes for 1850-2025. A third darkest red stripe is added.

The last 11 years have been the warmest 11 years on record. A sequence that is unlikely to be broken soon.

Six books to read about Venezuela They explain the country’s slide from democracy to dictatorship

Trump Now Has His Very Own Oil Empire Let’s do the math. Start with the oil production of the US and add Canada. Then include Venezuela and the rest of Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina and everywhere else in between: Brazil, Guyana...

"Whatever the word, President Donald #Trump now has his very
own #oil empire. Washington would have the means to keep the oil price close to $50 a barrel — giving it a winning hand in future against anyone threatening to push the price higher by curbing supply."

En ciblant le Venezuela, Donald Trump frappe aussi les intérêts de la Chine La Chine, qui achetait l’essentiel du pétrole vénézuélien, s’est contentée de déclarations critiquant l’intervention américaine au Venezuela. Mais l’enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro, au mépris du droit international, offre à la Chine un blanc-seing pour une attaque contre Taïwan.

Five(ish) charts that give some context to Venezuelan oil It has the world's largest reserves, produces comparatively little, and has a type of oil that the US needs.

1/ Oui le Venezuela a des réserves pétrolières immenses mais il faut bien comprendre qu'elles sont un peu théoriques : ça fait longtemps que personne n'a regardé de près et puis avoir des réserves ne veut pas dire qu'on va pouvoir les exploiter (pour les fans de données, quelques graphs ici :)

“.. U.S. companies never owned oil or land in Venezuela .. and officials didn’t kick them out of the country.

“.. ‘Trump’s claim that Venezuela has stolen oil and land from the U.S. is baseless,’ ..”

Many Fighting Climate Change Worry They Are Losing the Information War

This is a good article about the relentless onslaught of climate disinformation that distorts US and global politics.

I just wish it acknowledged that disinformation is sticky precisely because it often resonates w the speech of “our side.”

For example…

Removing CO2 from atmosphere vital to avoid catastrophic tipping points, leading scientist says 10bn tonnes of C02 emissions must be removed from the air every year to limit global heating to 1.7C, says Johan Rockström * Cop30: click here for full Guardian coverage of the climate talks in Brazil Removing carbon from the atmosphere will now be necessary to avoid catastrophic tipping points, one of the world’s leading scientists has warned, as even in the best case scenario the world will heat by about 1.7C. Johan Rockström of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, who is one of the chief scientific advisers to the UN and the Cop30 presidency, said 10bn tonnes of carbon dioxide needed to be removed from the air every year even to limit global heating to 1.7C (3.1F) above preindustrial levels.

Trump Is Said to Have a Plan to Open California Waters to Drilling The move would set up a clash with Gov. Gavin Newsom, a chief critic of the president and an opponent of oil exploration in the Pacific.

The Trump administration plans to propose new oil and gas drilling off the California coast for the first time in roughly four decades, since an enormous oil spill near Santa Barbara in 1969 shocked the nation and helped to galvanize the environmental movement. nyti.ms/47WvBuz
