Here's an idea: let's look at climate change risks at the city-level and in particular on cultural heritage.

These people must "believe" in climate change, data and culture 🤔

Wish my mob had similar values. Right now, we've got too many kangaroos loose in the top paddock.

The planet just got incredibly close to breaching landmark global warming target The target of the 2015 Paris Agreement was to keep global temperatures to less than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. In February, the planet was just 0.1C shy of that.

February was 1.49C above pre-industrial levels—just 0.1C shy of the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C threshold. Every fraction of a degree raises climate risks and costs.

For insurers, climate change is just the tip of the iceberg Insurance companies' warnings are making true believers of home insurance policyholders, who face higher prices and shrinking coverage

Insurance pricing now reflects climate reality. Floods, fires, and heatwaves drive higher premiums, shrinking coverage, and rising household risk. This investigation shows how insurers quantify climate damage.

Zoom Earth map of Tropical Cyclone Mitchell wind gusts as the Category 2 Cyclone travels SW along the Pilbara coast, 7 Feb 17.45 AWST

Zoom Earth shows TC Mitchell barrelling along Pilbara coast, through substantial North West Shelf off-shore oil and gas fields.

No need to worry - oil & gas self-insure their rigs and pipelines.

Water: The Trigger of Future Wars - Stratheia Water scarcity is emerging as a strategic threat, reshaping geopolitics, and redefining national security in a climate-stressed world.

Food security, economic stability, and political legitimacy all rest on water. Future wars may begin not with weapons—but with drought.

When climate change becomes a public health crisis CLIMATE change is increasingly shaping how people experience health, from rising heat stress to the spread of infectious disease and the growing strain placed

Climate change is now a global public health emergency. The 2025 Lancet Countdown shows rising heat deaths, shifting disease patterns, and worsening mental health impacts worldwide. This is already visible in regions like Southeast Asia.

A melting Greenland is easier to exploit — but also more perilous Climate change is opening previously inaccessible land and sea to development and shipping, boosting global interest in Greenland.

Melting ice is reshaping Greenland, opening new shipping lanes and mineral access, while accelerating risk. Climate change is turning geopolitics, security, and Indigenous sovereignty into a high-stakes test case. What’s opening up is also breaking down.

7 charts show cost of Trump’s climate rollbacks: U.S. losing the EV race to China, cuts to disaster resilience, historic lows in environmental enforcement, millions of public acres opened to drilling, slashed tribal climate funds, and farmers hit by trade wars.

Banks Ignore Transition Risk at Their Own Peril, ECB Warns Also in today’s Green Daily: Davos downplays climate change and China’s coal production hits a record.

Banks that ignore climate transition risk are already paying more to borrow, the ECB warns. From higher funding costs to asset exposure, climate risk is financial risk, yet global leaders downplay it as impacts accelerate.

UN environment report 'hijacked' over fossil fuels - top scientist The US and other governments derailed an agreement on a global environment study, its co-chair says.

UN scientists warn of a “dire future” as governments block findings on fossil fuels, pollution, and biodiversity loss. When science is sidelined, the world pays the price. We must stay alert—and act.

Thousands of Americans urged to avoid outdoors in California A portion of California faces potentially unhealthy levels of air pollution early Saturday, official data shows.

California’s air quality alert was triggered by a spike in fine particle pollution trapped by stagnant weather—driving PM2.5 into unhealthy ranges. These particles penetrate lungs and bloodstream, heightening acute health risks.
