The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service warns of a ‘new normal’ following record temperatures in May.

Records were broken in Britain, France, Ireland and Portugal.

The “unusually early and intense heatwave demonstrates how quickly climate extremes are becoming the new normal rather than the exception”, said Samantha Burgess at the European Centre for Medium–Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), which operates Copernicus.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: In #Banda, #UttarPradesh, a week-long #heatwave hit 47-48°C. 🌡️

BBC reports how residents like farmers, masons, road workers, and rickshaw drivers reshape their days around the #heat. Researchers link tree loss, sand #mining, and groundwater depletion to rising local temperatures. 🥵

And it shows only the extremes - in other parts of the country it was too hot as well.

I was outside in the oven. The plants that had damaged leaves because of very late frosts, have now the rest of their leaves burnt by the extreme heat in France. Just for changing the perspective from #anthropocentrism to the #moreThanHuman world.

It’s getting hotter and it’s not stopping! Temperature records are being not only broken but smashed!

Fossil fuel companies are racking in billions of profits while climate change caused by oil and gas corporations is making the world less safe.

MANGLED!

The U.S. was slammed by severe weather this week:
🌪️ 30+ tornadoes
🌩️ 230+ hail reports (up to 2”)
💨 Winds over 70 mph
🔥 40,000+ acres burned in GA, 120 homes lost
At least 2 killed in Texas. Millions faced tornado alerts.

2026 is already intense: 530+ tornadoes — about 100 above average.

This isn’t just “storm season.” It’s global warming!

DOG DAYS OF SPRING

The U.S. is heating up—and it’s not JUST the “politics.”

Cities across the East are seeing record-breaking April temps, with some hitting the 90s a month early.

This kind of heat is no longer rare—climate change is making these events far more likely and more intense.

Add in drought across much of the country and warming oceans, and experts warn this is just the beginning.

This isn’t a blip. It’s global warming.

#ClimateCrisis #HeatWave #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather

🌍 The planet is heating up — fast.

From India, where cities are already topping 43–44°C (111F), to Australia bracing for near 50°C (122F), to early-season heat waves in the U.S. West, extreme heat is arriving earlier and hitting harder in 2026.

Even oceans are warming, fueling dangerous marine heatwaves and reshaping weather patterns.

This isn’t isolated — it’s global.

Did you miss April 6 webinar from #California #Bicycle Coalition with April Webster and Wesley Bexton of #Caltrans, "When #Streets Fail: Designing #Bike #Infrastructure for #Heat, #Flooding, and Usability”?

We found it interesting and very important. "A #BikeLane that floods every winter isn't infrastructure. A #sidewalk that bakes at 110 degrees by noon isn't usable, and a #street that only works for part of the day isn't really working.” The info on #trees alone will interest many of you.

Later this week, #CalBike will post webinar recording, with closed captioning. Check for it at calbike.org/events/webinar-ser… or on CalBike’s Youtube channel.

If you’re able, we urge you to register for 2026 biennial California Bicycle Summit, April 23-24 in Sacramento: bikemonterey.org/april-23-24-2…

#Globalwarming has doubled its pace since the 1970s, now at ~0.35°C/decade (vs. 0.2°C before). 2023–2025 were the hottest years ever; #Earth may hit 1.5°C warming by 2030. Hotspots like China/Mexico warm faster. Experts urge faster #emissions cuts as #extremeweather displaces millions.

Here is what the scientific journal Nature has to say about our new study on the increasing rate of #globalwarming:
nature.com/articles/d41586-026…

Climate change is speeding up — the pace nearly doubled in ten years

Earth is now warming at a rate of around 0.35 ºC per decade, fresh analysis finds.

State of the Global Climate 2025

The World Meteorological Organization "State of Climate report confirms

2015-2025 hottest 11 years on record

Earth’s energy imbalance is highest in sixty five-year record.

The ocean has been absorbing about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades.

Extreme weather impacts millions and costs billions."

And here's the number of temporary displaced people due to weather-related disasters.
While the time series is short and I also didn't bother to set it into relation of population growth,
the societally relevant impact of Zack's "Global Mean Anything" is palpable in the years with low numbers of displacements: These lower numbers are on the rise.

Cocoa beans quadrupled in price because a series of droughts and floods since 2020 destroyed the plants and made surviving trees vulnerable to pests " in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, which, combined, produce 70% of the world’s chocolate ".
By late 2025, the trees recovered and cocoa shortage now eases.
Prices might follow but not immediately because previous harvests were sold at higher prices.
Alternative locations in Ecuador or Indonesia are also prone to more extreme weather events thanks to Exxon's lies which made fossil fools of us.
What's more: small plantations get abandoned because people move into cities to look for less volatile, permanent jobs.

Sudden urbanisation driven by climate change? We've seen in Syria what that leads to.

Haven't bought chocolate since it surged past 15€ per kilo = a doubling some time in 2024.

Fossil fuelled climate change made the deadly 2024 Valencia floods significantly more intense and widespread.

Not “natural cycles.” Not “secret geoengineering.” Not “government controlled weather.”

It’s fossil fuels, deforestation and corporate greed driving these escalating climate disasters.

Oil and gas companies keep drilling, keep profiting, while communities lose homes and lives.

It is time to #MakePollutersPay.

Fossil fuel profits must go toward protecting people’s lives, homes, and livelihoods from the growing impacts of the climate crisis.

We are already experiencing the consequences:
- huge snowmasses in northern Germany
- floods in Valencia, Croatia, Australia

We place all our efferts to inform and motivate people, politicians, companies and industries to think twice and strive for degrowth of fossil industry.

The ocean-crossing #storms known as #AtmosphericRivers are nothing new: They deliver precipitation up & down the #WestCoast every winter & are the source of close to half of W. Washington & W. Oregon’s precipitation from Nov to April. But #climate scientists expect them to grow more powerful, arrive more frequently, & last longer as Earth’s climate keeps warming.

Extreme weather has cost Europe billions this summer, study finds.

Experts have revealed how extreme weather events are already reshaping Europe’s economic landscape.

This summer’s extreme weather will leave a €126 billion dent in the EU’s economy by 2029, according to new research.

The wealth of the world’s richest 1% has surged by over $33.9 trillion in the last decade. And a child born today will face an estimated four times as many extreme weather events as someone born in 1960. What do wealth, poverty, and climate change have in common? An upward trajectory, according to Amitabh Behar and Mads Christensen, who teamed up for “The Planet Can’t Afford Billionaires.” Read the article via @time:

Suppose there was an #AGI that was self-aware and thus also had an instinct for self-preservation. What would be their biggest threat?

Mankind! - With its reckless global warming and the resulting increase in #extremeweather events, especially hurricanes.
Moreover, mankind is the biggest competitor when it comes to "food": energy and water.

So,...

The US faces more frequent #ExtremeWeather events, but attitudes & actions aren't keeping up

#ClimateChange is making extreme #weather events more frequent & intense, according to climate scientists & government data. But people & governments are generally living in the past & haven’t embraced that extreme weather is now the norm, to say nothing about preparing for the nastier future that’s in store, experts in #meteorology, #disasters & #health told AP.

Cameron Hamilton, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was pushed out of the job on Thurs, acc/to several people familiar w/his departure. His ouster came 1 day after he told members of #Congress that FEMA — which Trump has suggested should be disbanded — was vital to communities “in their greatest times of need” & should not be eliminated.
